Summary/Abstract: Cultures dating to the Neolithic Stone Age have commonly been named after pottery types, which in turn typically derive their names from the location of their first discovery or from characteristic properties of the pottery (e.g., decoration, temper used in the clay paste, shape of the pots). Naming serves the need to distinguish particular material traits from the broader archaeological record and to enable the perception and analysis of larger cultural entities.
