Reassembling Salado: Salado Polychrome Ceramics in the Phoenix Basin

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Mogollon, Mimbres, and Salado Archaeology in Southwest New Mexico and Beyond" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This poster presents the results of dissertation research examining manifestations of the Salado phenomenon at Hohokam sites in the Phoenix basin of Arizona, investigating how Salado polychrome (Roosevelt Red ware) ceramics were incorporated into contemporaneous Hohokam ceramic assemblages and practices during the late Classic period. A suite of complementary analyses including neutron activation analysis (INAA), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and petrography are used to evaluate the production and technology of Salado Polychrome pottery in the Phoenix basin, and geometric morphometric analyses using Elliptical Fourier Analysis (EFA) of whole vessel profile shapes is used to examine the morphological organization of Phoenix basin Hohokam ceramic assemblages and the relations of Salado polychrome ceramics within these broader ceramic assemblages.
