Pueblos in the vicinity of the Galisteo Basin of north-central New Mexico were among the primary producers of the distinctive glaze-paint ceramics that were used throughout the Rio Grande region during the Protohistoric period (ca. A.D. 1300–1600). The emergence and development of this production system is evaluated through an analysis of Rio Grande Glazeware ceramics that were probably produced in the Galisteo Basin and exported to (and archaeologically recovered from) two consumer pueblos in the Salinas district, about 120 km south of Galisteo Creek. The results suggest that the Galisteo pueblos increased their scale of production from that of a household industry beginning about A.D. 1315 to something approximating a village industry by A.D. 1490. This study supports the proposition that this more-efficient cooperative industry met with great success until about A.D. 1550, when competition from microregional production centers and disruption by the Spanish entradas and raiding Athapaskan and Plains peoples may have caused its collapse.RESUMENLos sitios tipo pueblo de las immediaciones de la Cuenca Galisteo en el norte-central de Nuevo México fueron unos de los principales productores de vajillas cerámicas vidriadas que fueron utilizadas a lo largo de toda la región del Río Bravo durante el periodo Protohistorico (alrededor de los años 1300–1600 d.c.). Se evalúa el surguimiento y desarrollo de este sistema de producción a través del análisis de la cerámica vidriada del Rio Bravo que muy probablemente fue manufacturada en la Cuenca del Galisteo y exportada a (y arqueológicamente recobradas de) dos pueblos consumidores del distrito de Salinas, localizado a 120 km al sur de la corriente Galisteo. Los resultados del análisis sugiere que los pueblos Galisteos incrementaron su escala de producción de una industria doméstica, que comenzó alrededor del 1315 d.c., a una industria comunitaria hacia el año de 1490 d.c. Este estudio sostiene la proposición de que ésta cooperativa de producción de alta eficiencia, Ilegó a tener un gran éxito alrededor deld. c. 1550, parece ser que después de esta fecha la competencia de centros de producción microregionales y la ruptura provocada por las entradas Españolas y las redadas de grupos Athabaskan y de los llanos causaron su colapso
