Prehistoric Sandals from Northeastern Arizona: The Earl H. Morris and Ann Axtell Morris Research
Finding Archaeological Relevance during a Pandemic and What Comes After
This article emerged as the human species collectively have been experiencing the worst global pandemic in a century. With a long view of the ecological, economic, social, and political factors that promote the emergence and spread of infectious disease, archaeologists are well positioned to examine the antecedents of the present crisis. In this article, we bring together a variety of perspectives on the issues surrounding the emergence, spread, …
We are all connected: Rock art ontologies in the Southwestern U.S
Members of Indigenous communities in Arizona and New Mexico explain that petroglyphs and rock paintings serve as animate, tangible, and enduring connections among places, ancestors, and contemporary communities in ways that non-Native public lands managers can only understand with instruction in Native peoples’ ontologies. Rock art sometimes takes an active role in resistance to environmental injustice and cultural appropriation. Archaeologists s…
Rock art and the transformation of history in the southwestern United States
On the northern frontier of the Spanish colony of New Mexico in the 1600s, people from several cultural origins were pressed by slave raiding and other pressures to come together with a distinctive identity and culture known today as Navajo. They developed a distinctive and sustainable lifeway and cosmology. We argue that apparent shifts from sacred to secular imagery, and from timeless iconic spiritual imagery to biographical-style accounts of m…
Fostering Collaborative Synthetic Research in Archaeology
While our fascination with understanding the past is sufficient to warrant an increased focus on synthesis, solutions to important problems facing modern society require understandings based on data that only archaeology can provide. Yet, even as we use public monies to collect ever-greater amounts of data, modes of research that can stimulate emergent understandings of human behavior have lagged behind. Consequently, a substantial amount of arch…

Hopi Pottery and Prehistoric Salt Procurement in Southern Utah Canyon Country
Hopi pottery sherds dating to the PIV period have been documented at sites throughout southeastern Utah, but an unusual cache of Hopi Pueblo IV whole vessels, gourds, shredded bark, and corn cobs, found in an alcove in a remote location in Canyonlands National Park, raises new questions about long-distance interactions in the protohistoric period. The pottery appears to date sometime between AD 1450 and 1629, and to come from the Hopi Mesas. Carb…
Sikyatki Polychrome: Style, Iconography, Cross-Media Comparisons, and Organization of Production
Sikyatki Polychrome (A.D. 1385–1629) is one of the most easily recognized, yet least understood, pottery types in the Southwest. This article explains the history of the Sikyatki Polychrome type description and how its chronological range was established. It explores the stylistic and iconographic repertoire of Sikyatki Polychrome, and compares pottery painting with rock art, mural painting, and depictions of textiles. I suggest that at least som…

Some Contemporary Pueblo Perspectives on Archaeology in the Pueblo World
Archaeologists for the most part interpret early Pueblo history without the assistance of the Pueblos’ own narratives. As a result, they tend to privilege environmental and economic explanations over social and ideological ones. When archaeologists do use Pueblo ethnography, they often oversimplify important differences among Pueblos. Here, members of two Pueblo communities share with archaeologists their insights on archaeology, culture change, …

A New Look at Tie-Dye and the Dot-in-a-Square Motif Ih the Prehispanic Southwest
Tie-dyed fabrics patterned with a dot-in-a-square motif appear in the archaeological textile record ofthe U.S.Southwest by the late twelfth or early thirteenth century. Mural images from Arizona and New Mexico suggest that tie-dye was one of the primary means of decorating ritual clothing by Pueblo N. Using evidence from textiles, ceramics, rock art, linguistics, and other media from the U.S. Southwest, Mesoamerica, and Peru, we explore the histo…

Gender Constructs in the Material Culture of Seventh-century Anasazi Farmers in North-eastern Arizona
In comparing designs on pottery, baskets, textiles, figurines and rock art from a group of shallow caves in northeastern Arizona, I noted there were at least two distinct decorative styles in use at the same time. Archaeologists often treat decorative styles as diagnostic of particular time periods and cultural traditions. I will argue here that these two art styles have something to do with gender.
Feminist Scholarship in Archaeology
Archaeologists have been slow to embrace feminist scholarship. Although most still avoid the term "feminism," an archaeology of gender has emerged and thrived. This article explores the history of women and feminism in archaeology, examines a few of the central issues addressed by feminist and gender-oriented archaeologists, briefly addresses equity issues for women archaeologists, and identifies some future directions
The Flower World in Material Culture: An Iconographic Complex in the Southwest and Mesoamerica
Uto-Aztecan peoples of Mesoamerica and the U.S. Southwest, together with neighboring Pueblo and Mayan groups, share a system of verbal imagery evoking a flowery spirit world. This study traces Flower World imagery in visual arts in the prehistoric Southwest and explores possible contexts and chronology for visual expressions of the Flower World and possible links to Mesoamerica. Flower World imagery appears most coherently in the twelfth century,…
New Trails for Old Shoes: Sandals, Textiles, and Baskets in Basketmaker Culture
New research on Anasazi origins is augmented with data from sandals, baskets, and textiles collected at the time when Basketmaker culture was first defined by archaeologists. Relationships among decorative style, technology, and social processes are examined. We discuss (1) the distribution of technological and stylistic features of baskets and textiles to address the question of Anasazi origins, and (2) ways archaeologists can approach an unders…
