Intraregional Connections in the Development and Distribution of Salado Polychromes in Central Arizona
Salado polychrome is associated with Classic period (A.D. 1270-1450) sites across much of the American Southwest, but its distributions are variable. Although multiple production centers are recognized for these decorated vessels, their roles in intraregional social networks are still open to interpretation. Recent compositional studies using petrography and weak-acid extraction ICP-MS compare locally produced wares to the characterization of Sal…

Anthropological Interpretations from Archaeological Ceramic Studies
For decades, ceramic analysis has been widely used in archaeological research of the American Southwest, but several recent ceramic studies have gone well beyond classification and material sourcing to examine the social relationships among ceramic exchange, production, and complexity. Presented here are studies from Classic period (A.D. 1270-1450) sites of central Arizona that focus on prehistoric social relationships among communities during ti…
A Pot is Not a Rock
There are some fundamental errors in the arguments of our critics: equating acid extraction with bulk techniques; confusing extractability, the signal of interpretive interest, with analytical error; and, most importantly, presuming that the influences of behavioral choices of prehistoric potters are unwanted “noise” in the data. In confirmation of our original statements, Neff et al., demonstrate that neutron activation analysis (NAA) and acid e…
Salado Ceramic Burial Offerings
Archaeologists have often interpreted ceramic vessel accompaniments in burials as indicators of personal wealth or the social status of the decreased. However, alternative interpretations that are related to the gender and age of the individual may better explain the patterns of vessel placement. Ceramic vessel accompaniments recovered during the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study are used to examine gender roles among the prehistoric Salado of centr…
Acid Extraction as a Simple and Inexpensive Method for Compositional Characterization of Archaeological Ceramics
An acid-extraction method for analyzing the composition of ceramics produces highly precise results capable of intraregional discrimination of production loci. The method is safe, inexpensive, minimally destructive, and uses widely available instrumentation. It produces results that are highly useful in archaeological interpretation as illustrated by selected case studies
The Use of Indentation Testing to Obtain Precise Hardness Measurements from Prehistoric Pottery
Archaeologists have sought to assess prehistoric pottery production by using hardness as an indicator of the relation between ceramic materials and firing temperature. Yet hardness testing commonly has been limited to a scratch test, which is imprecise and lacks the precision necessary to investigate these relations. Recent research has developed the application of indentation hardness testing for prehistoric ceramics. A sample of low-fired plain…
