AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Anasazi sites dating from the Basketmaker III through the Pueblo III periods (AD 575-1300) are scattered throughout the Northern San Juan region. Evidence from these sites indicates dynamic changes in settlement distribution, subsistence emphases, and social and economic networks. These changes influence, and are reflected in, patterns of pottery production, decoration, use, and exchange. Although white ware pottery production is the focus of this paper, pottery production is a multilayered phenomenon also entailing social and economic context of vessel use and the transport and exchange of ceramics; white ware production cannot be considered in the absence of the other wares (p. 63).
