  • A Spatial Analysis of San Juan Red Ware Using Least Cost Paths (2017)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Bischoff.

    A fundamental part of interaction is distance. Distance can be calculated in many ways. GIS applications allow the calculation of least cost paths between locations. Often the length of this path is used as the distance between points; however, the amount of time it takes to traverse a path may differ for paths with the same length that traverse different topography. In this poster, I use the distribution of San Juan Red Ware in a portion of the southwestern United States to examine the...

  • An Examination of the Role of San Juan Red Ware Vessels in Social Interaction (2018)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Bischoff.

    This paper evaluates the role that San Juan Red Ware played in social interaction. San Juan Red Ware was widely distributed throughout the Four Corners region between ca. A.D. 750 and 1100. Prior research has identified this ware as a marker of identity and established an association with communal feasting. A study of the distribution of this ware indicates that it was traded through specific social networks, which changed through time. While ceramics may profitably be used as stand-ins for...

  • San Juan Red Ware Distribution Patterns and Social Networks in Southeastern Utah (2019)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Bischoff.

    This is an abstract from the "Transcending Modern Boundaries: Recent Investigations of Cultural Landscapes in Southeastern Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. San Juan Red Ware was produced primarily in southeastern Utah beginning around AD 750, and these vessels were traded throughout the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest. Its distribution in southeastern Utah demonstrates intriguing patterns of consumption, as some areas within the...

  • Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Hohokam Projectile Points from the Tonto Basin (2021)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Bischoff.

    This is an abstract from the "Geometric Morphometrics in Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Traditional analyses of projectile points often use visual identification, the presence or absence of discrete characteristics, or linear measurements to classify points into distinct types. Geometric morphometrics provides additional tools for analyzing, visualizing, and comparing projectile point morphology. In this study, I compare the...
