Innumerable kiln sites where Korean potters produced their decorative and functional wares for more than a thousand years are found almost always on sunny mountain foothills all over this strikingly beautiful peninsular country with overlapping mountain ranges and vast coastlines. The passion and technical finesse that created these wares are felt palpably from mounds of shards and broken kiln equipment mixed together with the timeless greenery of weeds and tree roots. In this book, the author presents her lifetime analysis work on the shards of celadon, buncheong, and whiteware that were excavated during archaeological investigations of these sites. She discusses the compositional and microstructural scientific results of the ceramic pieces together with their archeological and artistic characteristics as well as historical and cultural background. -Amazon.
