Bronze Age (MH III) and initial Late Bronze Age (LH I, LH IIA) enable a fairly detailed assessment of technological
changes in ceramics at generation-long intervals over a period of roughly two centuries (ca. 1700–1500 B.C.). The
changes in question involve the selective adoption of the wheel for vessel manufacture, the deployment of multiple
colors of painted ornament, shifting preferences in surface treatments and paste compositions, and modifications in the
standardization of vessel sizes as well as forms. The presence of plentiful imports during various chronological stages
facilitates the identification of potential sources for particular aspects of technological change. But methodologies for
reconstructing the specific social mechanisms whereby these changes were introduced and eventually adopted remain
to be devised.
