Nature and Organization of Ceramic Production During Early Phases in the Chuska Valley

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project: A Multivocal Analysis of the San Juan Basin as a Cultural Landscape" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Examination of pottery recovered during recent investigations of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project include the recording of stylistically-based typological categories and descriptive attributes relating to the manufacture and exchange of pottery vessels. This data provides clues relating to changing strategies of pottery production and community ties spanning seven centuries. Trends discussed here relate to important changes associated with the earliest ceramic periods (Early Basketmaker III through Late Pueblo III period) that provide among the best evidence relating to a series of shifts in the influences, organization, and nature of ceramic production and exchange. Such observations are critical to a better understanding of the early development of Pueblo adaptive strategies and lifeway.
