Reassessing Mimbres Mogollon Red-Slipped Pottery

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.

The red-slipped pottery associated with Mimbres Mogollon pithouses seldom gets much attention, and the typology and chronology of these red-slipped ceramics are not well understood. This poster presents the results of an attribute analysis on the red-slipped pottery from seven Mimbres Mogollon sites as well as Bayesian chronological modeling of pithouse sites associated with the red-slipped pottery. The analysis suggests that the early, red-slipped pottery is not just Alma Plain with some red slip. Furthermore, Bayesian chronological modeling of structures associated with the red-slipped pottery raises some questions regarding the traditional Mimbres Mogollon chronology. This poster will discuss the broader implications of these findings for the Mimbres Mogollon Pithouse period.
