Decorating Glaze-Painted Pottery in East-Central Arizona
Tracing the Circulation of Iconographic-style Red Ware in East-central Arizona
The appearance of Fourmile Polychrome in the AD 1320s signaled a shift in the decorative layout, use, and perhaps even value of red-slipped pottery in east-central Arizona. Bowls were often painted with iconographic-style designs that diverged from the geometric imagery of earlier White Mountain Red Ware. The type was circulated through the region and even copied in some localities. The provenance of Fourmile Polychrome has remained a mystery due…
Spirits
This chapter explores how the lives of ancient peoples in the Southwest were guided by their engagement with spirit worlds. From artifacts to architecture, the material record reflects visions of the universe, mythological narratives, and otherworldly entities. As archaeology has turned its attention to ancient religion and ritual, Southwest scholars are expanding their interpretations of these central dimensions of ancient ecologies. This theore…
Rapid qualitative compositional analysis of ceramic paints
The Lives of Painted Bowls at Ancestral Pueblos in East-Central Arizona
The appearance of iconographic-style pottery at fourteenth-century Pueblo villages in east-central Arizona marked an important shift in the decoration of pottery. These polychrome containers were painted with elaborate imagery that contrasts with earlier geometric-style traditions. Remarkably, though the type was circulated and copied throughout the region, we still know very little about how it was used. This paper addresses that issue by analyz…
Glaze-paints, technological knowledge, and ceramic specialization in the fourteenth-century Pueblo Southwest
Geoarchaeological evidence for ritual closure of a kiva at Fourmile Ruin, Arizona
Ancestral Pueblo Villages and the Panoptic Gaze of the Commune
Aggregated villages with large, central plazas appeared across the Western Pueblo region of the US Southwest by the fourteenth century AD. We view the adoption of this settlement form not strictly as an adaptive response to economic and social circumstances, but rather as a reflection of changes in the social relations of power and conceptualizations of community in the Pueblo world. Enclosed plazas became a form of panoptic architecture, structu…
Migration, Factionalism, and the Trajectories of Pueblo IV Period Clusters in the Mogollon Rim Region
The Economic Implications of Hohokam Buff Ware Exchange During the Early Sedentary Period
Hohokam buff ware ceramics are ubiquitous at prehistoric settlements across the Phoenix Basin. Determining where those pots were made and how they were distributed are primary topics for investigating the Hohokam economy. We review the available evidence on buff ware provenance, which indicates that most of the decorated wares were made by specialists in the middle Gila River Valley for exchange across a large territory. We then compare the sizes…
Specialized Production of Hohokam Plain Ware Ceramics in the Lower Salt River Valley
Hohokam plain ware tempers accurately indicate the location of pottery production. Results from an analysis of Sedentary period assemblages from Las Colinas and La Lomita indicate significant movement of undecorated pots in Canal System 2 and from sites in adjacent canal systems to the south. In particular, the scale of pottery exchange from Las Colinas to La Lomita, as well as the import of jars from the South Mountain area, suggest specialized …
