In relation to the complexity of the ceramic finds, the introduction of ceramic phenomenon  in the short archaeological basic education is generally negligible. Nevertheless, undergraduate archaeologists are believed to have sufficient knowledge to be able to interpret ceramic finds from a 6000 year period (in Sweden). The knowledge acquired must necessarily be schematic and is often limited to the dating of individual characteristics. The broader functional interpretation and the specific source criticism that the work with ceramic finds requires is largely lacking. Post-graduate courses and assistance in the design of scientific programs etc. can increase knowledge of and interest in ceramics in general and the local ceramic history in particular.
