By: Henderson, T. Kathleen.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Henderson describes the ceramics found at four of the Marana community sites. She describes their condition (how broken up they are) as a means of indicating the different categories of ceramic deposits and whether an area was cleaned by hand, swept, dumped in pit, or midden. This can indicate whether a feature was part of a household courtyard and can indicate stratigraphy. This is all done to sort out the temporal relationships between the features at these sites. the decorated ceramics are also described.
