AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The authors' goal in this study is to focus specifically on understanding ceramic production in relation to distribution and exchange. This problem is addressed by comparing ceramics that were distributed at different scales in the prehistoric Southwest. Specifically the focus is on red and white ware ceramics in the Northern San Juan region … during the ninth and early tenth centuries AD, the late Pueblo I and very early Pueblo II periods. The white ware types appear to have been made and used locally, whereas the red ware types were distributed well beyond their zone of production. In this analysis the authors proceed by first examining data on ceramic distribution, then ceramic compositional data to gain information about production sources, and finally the evaluation of the standardization of the ceramics in order to understand the organization of production in more detail (p. 30-31).
