AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The relationship between ceramic style and type of integrative structure is examined. Comparisons are made between (1) pit structures used primarily as habitations with no integrative function above the household level, (2) pit structures shared by several households, and (3) pit structures used for larger scale integrative activities. The potential for ceramic style to convey information - measured as design diversity - is found to be high in association with pit structures used for large-scale integrative activities and also in structures used in times of upheaval. The stylistic information is argued to be important in relations with socially distant persons. The formality of style, argued to be related to ritual, is greatest in association with shared structures of any size. The analysis involves black-on-white ceramics from the late Pueblo I period (AD 840-920) in southwestern Colorado (p. 125).
