La Lucha del Barro: Two Potterymaking Families of Mata Ortiz (1991)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Michael Allan Williams.

In the past 20 years, pottery making has become a way of life for some inhabitants of Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico. What began as a revival of the prehistoric Casas Grandes ceramic tradition has become an artistic school in its own right. The contemporary pottery is a creative restatement of the ancient ware. Two families of potters are documented ethnographically, providing data on what the craftspeople call "la lucha del barro," or the struggle of the clay. Research literature on potters in...


La Noria: A Hydrologic Technology of Yucatan (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Nina E. Williams.

This paper addresses the changes to the noria platform and to noria technology of north-central Yucatán. I question whether personal preference influenced differentiation of the technology or if specific utilitarian activities dictated more standardization through time. I use statistical analysis to determine if there is equal variance among the noria openings and platforms. By comparing three different property types (haciendas, ranchos, and conventos) the data indicates the noria...


La Quemada-Malpaso Valley Archaeological Project (LQ-MVAP)
PROJECT Ben Nelson. Arizona State Universtity. Andrea Torvinen.

For over 15 years, Mexican and American archaeologists and students have dug ancient ruins, walked the high desert landscape, and worked in laboratories to understand the rise and fall of La Quemada, Zacatecas. We want to know why societies become complex, developing social hierarchies with specialized economic, political, and religious roles for their members. Why do civilizations expand? Northern Mexico's ancient past is an ideal context for studying these questions. During the period A.D....
