Abstract

Shafer describes the changes in domestic architecture, burials, and the painted designs on the ceramics that occurred during the Three Circle phase at NAN ruin and throughout New Mexico. These changes seem to symbolize the Mogollon cosmology of a multi-layered universe and the passage to the Otherworld.
