Ceramic Ethnoarchaeology
Multidisciplinary Research at Grasshopper Pueblo, Arizona
The Anthropological Papers of the University of Arizona is a peer-reviewed monograph series sponsored by the School of Anthropology. Established in 1959, the series publishes archaeological and ethnographic papers that use contemporary method and theory to investigate problems of anthropological importance in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and related areas
Archeological Lessons from an Apache Wickiup
During the summer of 1965, an abandoned Apache living site was investigated as a part of research undertaken by the University of Arizona Archaeological Field School. The site appeared to have been deserted quite recently. The living site is located in the northeast part of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in the rugged, forested country south of the Mogollon Rim. It lies on the north side of the westernmost branch of Spring Creek, which follow…
Some Aspects of Prehistoric Society in East-Central Arizona
This chapter discusses a series of archeological investigations conducted in east-central Arizona directed toward elucidating the nature of cultural stability and change in the extinct societies of the region. In the undertaking of this research the authors were guided by several assumptions of a basic theoretical nature. The area today is environmentally transitional between the White Mountains and the Colorado Plateau. It is a semi-arid, topogr…

Behavioral Archaeology and the Study of Technology
Loney's (2000) recent paper claims that American archaeologists have paid scant attention to the study of technological, especially ceramic, change. We argue that, in fact, interest in such change processes has grown greatly in recent decades and that Loney has overlooked much relevant literature. We support our general argument with a catalog of recent behavioral research on technological change

Exploring Prehistoric Social and Political Organization in the American Southwest
For more than 125 years, archaeologists working in the American Southwest have made various attempts to reconstruct aspects of the social and political organization of the region's Native American peoples. Initial work focused upon the analysis of prehistoric pottery and architecture and included an ethnoarchaeological component. After the turn of the century, archaeologists turned away from such attempts in response to the rise of Boasian Histor…
On Methods of Measuring Ceramic Uselife
The longevity of ceramic vessels in ethnographic contexts has been reported from several ceramic-using groups. Several methods have been used to derive estimates of the mean uselives of ceramic classes. Among them, the Kalinga Ethnoarchaeological Project employed a method based on a series of ceramic inventories since 1975. This inventory method recorded large number of pots, much more than any other previous studies, to ensure the representative…

Alternative Procedures for Assessing Standardization in Ceramic Assemblages
Interest in the material correlates of economic specialization has led to numerous quantitative studies of standardization (or the lack of it) in craft production, particularly of ceramics. Most of this research has focused on measures of variation and conventional statistical procedures in the treatment of the empirical data, many of which are dependent on unrealistic assumptions (such as normal populations), yielding results that can be questio…

Perception and Interpretation in Contemporary Southwestern Archaeology
A recent effort in archaeological critique by Cordell et al. (1987) is undermined by confusion, misunderstanding, and misrepresentation. This comment on their paper illustrates how confusion may arise when the literature of the American Southwest is not read carefully and the causes of variability in the archaeological record are understood incompletely
Southwestern Pottery Standardization
Archaeologists assume that products of specialists will be standardized and that standardized pottery reveals the presence of full-time potters. To test these assumptions, two populations of contemporary Philippine cooking pots are studied: those made on a household basis by the Kalinga, a “tribal” society, and those from Paradijon, a neighborhood of full-time potters. The data indicate that pots from Paradijon are much more standardized than tho…

Aggregation and Abandonment at Grasshopper Pueblo, Arizona
Shortly after 1300 A.C. small dispersed pueblos in the Grasshopper region of east-central Arizona were abandoned and succeeded over a short period of time by a settlement system characterized by large nucleated pueblos. This transition followed expansion of agricultural productivity and development of an extensive exchange network. This subsistence-settlement system, at first successful, was ultimately abandoned as groups failed to intensify agri…

Population Dynamics at Grasshopper Pueblo, Arizona
There is a long history of interest in the study of extinct populations, sometimes called “prehistoric demography” or “archaeological demography.” Most studies have focused on regional population size and trends through time and their explanation. Analyses of a single population at one community are rare. This paper discusses one effort at assessing the dynamics of population at one prehistoric community, the Grasshopper Pueblo, located in east-c…

Probability Sampling Applied to an Early Multi-Component Surface Site in East-Central Arizona
An early attempt to employ a sampling strategy to the collection of archaeological material from a surface deposit in east-central Arizona is discussed and the rationale detailed. The identification of the site as a double-component occupation is strengthened by spatial information derived from the sampling frame. Interpretation of several loci of archaeological material within each occupation is attempted

Then she re-sorted the same sherds by site, by type, and by chronology and then separated these groups into lots bearing similar or identical elements of design. These were counted, percentages derived, and graphs drawn. Thus the study was "quantified." Mis…
