The Aboriginal Southwestern Indian Dog
Since a large number of dog remains have been unearthed in the last few years in the Southwest, a review of the material is important. An attempt has been made to record dogs as to time and space as well as noting anatomical deviations such as the presence or absence of the first premolar on the lower jaw, and the presence or absence of large dogs and their distribution
Reminiscences in Southwest Archaeology: Iv
In 1916, Dr. Colton began the archaeological survey of the Museum of Northern Arizona by recording sites in the vicinity of Flagstaff. In order to locate additional sites and to visit the Hopi Mesas, he and his wife, during the summer of 1916, journeved to Oraibi by means of wagon and mule team. In days before modern roads were available this was indeed a perilous trip, but one successfully completed within a period of two weeks

Archaeology and the Reconstruction of History
The principal aim of archaeology is the reconstruction of history. How archaeology plays this part is usually not very clearly thought out, although Rouse has made a good attempt. In the reconstruction of history, we deal with human social units. These social units are composed of animals which reproduce their kind, inherit biological traits, mutate, evolve, take in food, give off waste products, react to their environment, die, and, in so doing,…

Black Mesa Black on White
A very important southwestern pottery type, well dated by tree ring studies, is called Deadmans Black-on-white by Colton, and Black Mesa Pueblo II Black-on-white by Morss. When the Handbook of Northern Arizona Pottery Wares (Colton and Hargrave, 1937) was being written, and there were two descriptions of the type, the question arose which name to choose. The original description of Deadmans Black-on-white appeared in Bulletin 104 of the Bureau of…

The Reducing Atmosphere and Oxidizing Atmosphere in Prehistoric Southwestern Ceramics
It is a well known fact that the surface color of pottery made by the ancient inhabitants of the Southwest occurs (1) in shades of white and gray and also (2) in shades of red, yellow, and brown. That the differences in color between the white and gray pottery and the others are due to a difference in firing technique is not so widely known
Sunset Crater: The Effect of a Volcanic Eruption on an Ancient Pueblo People
IN northern Arizona two hundred or more recent cinder cones surround the San Francisco Peaks. Among these cones none is as striking as Sunset Crater (Fig. I). Rising above an aweinspiring flow of fresh-looking lava, its ruddy rim glows as in the rays of a perpetually setting sun. So interesting are its surroundings and so remarkable its scenery that, in I930, it was proclaimed a National Monument. But Sunset Crater is distinguished in other ways.…
