Here, we present a more contemporary analysis of the manner in which ceramic technology was organized in the Mimbres area using Costin’s (1991) organization of...
Ornaments, Pigments, and Household Production: Spatial Patterning and Residue Analysis of Ground Stone Artifacts from Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico (A.D. 800-1200) (2015)
