Abstract
Differential distributions of prehistoric ceramics over broad areas of the American Southwest are often interpreted as the result of exchange networks of varied magnitude and complexity. Much effort has been devoted to the reconstruction of the ceramic distribution system and their economic, social, and political implications....However, current evidence of population movement throughout Southwestern prehistory...strongly suggests that variation in the ceramic record was the result of not only the circulation of pottery, but also the movement of people bearing knowledge on distinctive pottery technologies. This article reviews recent data on ceramic manufacture and circulation during the late Pueblo III period occupation of the Grasshopper region in east-central Arizona…to illustrate how population movement had a major role in the generation of highly varied assemblages (p. 115).
