AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Hill describes the methods used to analyze the ceramics found at Todsen Cave. The different ceramic types are described - most were brownwares; refittings were attempted; the stratigraphy the various ceramic types were found in is described; changes in rim morphology are described; and petrographic analysis was conducted to determine sources of the temper. The temper indicates people lived east of the Rio Grands and seasonally occupied Todsen Cave.
