Excavations at La Villa: Continuity and Change at an Agricultural Village, 2015
This is the first of two chapters that discuss the pottery recovered during recent excavations at La Villa, AZ T:12:148 (ASM). This collection was recovered from features in Madison Street and 13th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. A total of 14,103 sherds, representing a minimum of 3,819 vessels, were recovered from features located in five spatially demarcated areas. Painted Hohokam ceramic types comprise 25.1 percent of the sherds, red ware 1.4 percent, extrabasinal painted types 0.03 percent, plain ware 73.2 percent, and sherds of indeterminate ware 0.3 percent. The earliest painted Hohokam type present is Estrella Red-on-gray, the latest is Late Sacaton Red-on-buff, and, with the exception of Middle Sacaton 2 Red-on-buff, every intervening ceramic type is represented in the collection; all are well-illustrated. Limited use of the project area during the Classic period was documented in the current collection by the recovery of one Pinto, Gila, or Cliff Polychrome sherd. Interaction with people living in other portions of the Southwest is documented by the recovery of four extrabasinal ceramic types: Deadmans Black-on-red Ware from the San Juan River region of southeastern Utah/southwestern Colorado; Kiatuthlanna Black-on-white Ware from east-central Arizona/west-central New Mexico; Black Mesa or Sosi black-on-white Ware from northeastern Arizona; and Mogollon Red Ware from the mountain valleys and uplands on either side of the Arizona-New Mexico border. The polychrome sherd mentioned previously may also have been made elsewhere. The La Villa ceramic analysis focused on three issues: (1) feature and context dating; (2) change through time; and (3) evidence of ceramic production or exchange. The second and third issues are closely related and make extensive use of temper provenance and related data. Subsistence practices, as reflected in the metric and morphological vessel function data, primarily relate to the second research issue. The final portion of the chapter examines ceramic variability related to clay type, temper source, presence/absence of calcium carbonate, firing temperature and atmosphere, as well as the concentration and intensity of Middle Sacaton buff ware production.

The history of Americanist archaeology can be profitably approached through an examination of ceramic design studies in the puebloan region of the American Southwest. An intellectual tradition is represented throughout these studies, grounded in the assumption that ceramic design variation can be reflected, among other things, in prehistoric social groupings. Within this tradition, a number of differences in method, theory, and application can be distinguished, including (1) the classificatory systems employed, (2) the spatial and temporal scales at which ceramic design variation was studied, and (3) the potential functional role of stylistic attributes on pottery. The debates, both intellectual and social, surrounding the development of method and theory in the New Archaeology are clarified by this historical review, as are the transitions to Culture History and from the New Archaeology in the American Southwest.
Prehistoric and Historic Native American Pottery from the Paseo de las Iglesias Project
Archeological Data Recovery for the Paseo de las Iglesias Project, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, 2016
This chapter discusses the prehistoric and historic Native American pottery recovered from six sites located in the Paseo de las Iglesias project area, Tucson, Arizona. The Paseo site, AZ BB:13:111 (ASM), yielded the largest collection and most of the pottery there was recovered from late Agua Caliente phase deposits (A.D. 425 - 540). Findings from the Paseo site analysis are consistent with previously documented trends regarding temporal variability in vessel form and function, pottery paste, surface embellishment (plastic deformation, slipping, and painting), and sherd modification. However, the study furthered our understanding of Agua Caliente phase pottery, especially as regards paste optical activity, caliche decomposition, and inferred firing conditions. Those findings were compared with similar data recorded from transitional Basketmaker II/III (ca. A.D. 420 - 540) and late Basketmaker III - early Pueblo I (ca. A.D. 700 - 850) pottery recovered from sites located in the vicinity of Snowflake, Arizona. Unlike the Snowflake area pottery, the Tucson pottery provides no evidence for a change in firing atmosphere and temperature practices over time. That finding is not surprising, as multiple lines of evidence suggest that storage was the primary function of Agua Caliente phase seed jars—not boiling or simmering. However, the Agua Caliente phase data also indicate that even though contemporary potters working in different portions of the Southwest focused on the manufacture of vessels with similar forms, their approach to firing varied. Tucson Basin potters fired their pottery at relatively lower temperatures, whereas potters in the northern Southwest fired at relatively higher temperatures. That difference appears to relate to the intended functions of the pots—primarily storage in Tucson and multifunctional to the north.

Ceramic Ethnoarchaeology Huancito, Michoacán, Mexico (2014)
How and why do ceramics and their production change through time? Following the perspectives of Dean Arnold, this study tries to answer these questions by tracing social change among potters and changes in the production and distribution of their wares in Huáncito, a Tarascan Indian community located in the Cañada de los Once Pueblos (Michoacán, Mexico). During a period of over 20 years the author has witnessed changes in the families of artisans and the evolution of a ceramic style on a household, community, and regional level. The structural modifications and patterns of cultural continuity discussed in this paper offer a model for ethnographic analogy and archaeological interpretation. This study bridges the gap between archaeology and ethnography, using the analysis of contemporary pottery production and distribution to generate original theoretical explanations for archaeologists working with pre-Hispanic pottery assemblages.
