AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Hegmon examines architecture and ceramic styles to determine if they can shed light on boundaries. Private storage areas increase with sedentism and regionally distinctive ceramics first appear during the Pueblo I period. Hegmon compares Black Mesa with the Dolores area on Mesa Verde. Dolores, being more densely populated, shows more restricted storage areas and greater diversity of ceramic design styles, as expected. Absence of boundaries, as seems to have been the case on Black Mesa, may have facilitated intercommunity cooperation.
