Color Designations for Inking Pottery

A valuable resource for archaeologists, draftspeople, and students who analyze and sketch ceramics! This guide indicates how to represent colors on polychrome ceramic vessels in black-and-white drawings and truly sets a standard for inking pottery. The hatching patterns follow the conventions used in the Maya area and are based on Robert E. Smith 1955 (Uaxactun) and T. Patrick Culbert 1993 (Tikal) with the addition of blue, pink, and green after Francoise Bagot 1997. The laminated chart measures 8-1/2˝ x 11˝.
