Full text
Abstract:
The mixture of Late Woodland and Fort Ancient ceramics found on sites in central Indiana has presented a problem for archaeologists for over fifty years. This unique combination of ceramic traits has become known as the Oliver Phase. Materials recovered from the Bowen Site, (Dorwin 1971) have in the past been used to define this phase. Originally, the Bowen Site was believed to represent the excavation of an entire synchronically occupied prehistoric site. A reanalysis of the distribution of diagnostic ceramic attributes from the Bowen Site suggests multicomponent occupations resulting from diachronic settlement. Therefore, the full range of ceramic variation originally attributed to this phase needs to be reexamined in the light of this new information, and it's usefulness as a diagnostic assemblage should be carefully evaluated.

Abstract:
Mimbres-Mogollon people inhabited areas of southwestern New Mexico from approximately A.D. 200–1150, with settlements located primarily in the Gila, Mimbres, and Rio Grande Valleys and immediate adjacent areas. Among the most recognizable of Mimbres cultural traïts is the production of a white-slipped brown-paste ceramic decorated with bold, black, geometric designs. By about A.D. 1000, Mimbres pottery came to be more elaborately decorated with finely executed geomètric designs; in some cases, vessels were decorated with naturalistic motifs of animals, humans, plants, and anthropomorphized figures. This research project examines the production and distribution of Mimbres-Mogollon pottery using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA, NAA) to identify pottery production sites and the movement of pottery throughout the Mimbres and adjacent regions of the American Southwest. Since publication of Gilman et al.’s (1994) seminal study of Mimbres pottery from the American Southwest using NAA, dozens of research projects involving the analyses of Mimbres-Mogollon and Jornada-Mogollon pottery have occurred. Projects have ranged in scale from small (<30) to large (e.g., 100–200 samples). These combined efforts have resulted to date in the analyses of thousands of Mimbres-Mogollon and Jornada-Mogollon ceramics and clays. Very little of this research has been formally published, and until now there has been no comprehensive analysis and interpretation that includes most/all extant NAA data. In addition to hundreds of recent NAA analyses conducted for this project, most extant data generated for earlier Mimbres NAA projects are incorporated into this study. In total, the dataset includes more the 3,600 NAA analyses of pottery and clays obtained from several hundred archaeological sites in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and northern Mexico. Research discussed herein provides—from a chemical perspective—the most accurate and comprehensive interpretation of Mimbres pottery production and distribution to date. Statistical analysis of the NAA dataset resulted in the identification of 35 distinct pottery groups. This finding is in contrast to most previous studies that only identified on average four to six compositional groups. Knowledge of the true group structure allows for a more accurate reconstruction of Mimbres pottery production and distribution and allows for examinations of temporal changes. Ultimately, this research will serve as a basis for archaeologists seeking to examine a broad range of topics related to Mimbres social organization and interaction, gender, and ideology.
Els integrants de la cultura Mimbres-Mogollón habitaven zones del sud-oest de Nou Mèxic des d'aproximadament el 200-1150 dC, en assentaments ubicats principalment a les valls de Gila, Mimbres i de Río Grande i les zones adjacents immediates. Entre el trets culturals més característics de la societat Mimbres hi ha la producció d'una ceràmica de pasta marró i d’engalba blanca decorada amb audaços dissenys negres i figures geomètriques. Cap a l'any 1000 dC, la ceràmica Mimbres va arribar a ser més elaborada, decorada amb dissenys geomètrics finament executats. En alguns casos, les peces estaven decorades amb motius naturalistes d'animals, éssers humans, plantes i figures antropomorfiques. Aquest projecte d'investigació analitza la producció i distribució de la ceràmica Mimbres-Mogollon utilitzant l’anàlisi per activació neutrònica instrumental (INAA, NAA), tècnica d’anàlisi química emprada per identificar els llocs de producció de ceràmica i el moviment de la ceràmica a través de les regions de Mimbres i les regions adjacents del sud-oest dels Estats Units. Des de la publicació de Gilman et al. (1994) i el seu estudi acadèmic de la ceràmica Mimbres del sud-oest americà a partir de NAA, s'han produït desenes de projectes de recerca que impliquen l'anàlisi de ceràmiques i argiles de Mimbres-Mogollón i Jornada-Mogollon. Els projectes han oscil•lat en escala des de petits projectes (<30) a grans projectes (per exemple, de 100 a 200 mostres). Tots aquests esforços s'han traduït fins ara en l'anàlisi de milers de ceràmiques i argiles de Mimbres-Mogollón i Jornada-Mogollón. Molt poca d'aquesta investigació ha estat publicada oficialment, i fins ara no hi ha hagut una anàlisi exhaustiva i d’interpretació que inclogui la majoria o totes les dades de NAA existents. A més dels centenars de les darreres anàlisis realitzades per NAA per aquest projecte, les dades existents generades en anteriors projectes per NAA sobre ceràmiques de Mimbres s’han incorporat en aquest estudi. En total, el conjunt de dades inclou més de 3.600 anàlisis per NAA de ceràmica i argiles obtingudes a centenars de llocs arqueològics d’Arizona, de Nou Mèxic, de Texas i del nord de Mèxic. La investigació descrita aquí ofereix, des de la perspectiva de la química i l’arqueologia, la interpretació més precisa i completa a dia d’avui de la producció de la ceràmica Mimbres i de la seva distribució. L'anàlisi estadística del conjunt de dades de NAA ha resultat en la identificació de 35 grups diferents de ceràmica. Aquesta troballa contrasta amb la majoria dels estudis anteriors, els quals només van identificar de mitjana de quatre a sis grups composicionals. El coneixement de l'estructura dels grups químics permet una reconstrucció més precisa de la producció i distribució de la ceràmica de la cultura Mimbres, així com també proporciona una important eina per avaluar els canvis culturals i temporals. En última instància, aquesta investigació servirà com a base per als arqueòlegs que busquen examinar una àmplia gamma de temes relacionats amb l'organització cultural de Mimbres i la seva interacció social, el gènere i la ideologia.

Abstract:
Teotihuacan was founded in a side valley of the Basin of Mexico during the first centuries of the common era and at its height reached a size of approximately 20 square kilometers. During A. D. 400-700, the Middle Classic period, architecture and portable artifacts in the Teotihuacan style are distributed throughout Mesoamerica. The distribution of Teotihuacan style material culture is often cited as evidence that Teotihuacan had the social and political complexity characteristic of early expansionistic states, and was in fact the first empire of highland Mexico. This study traces patterns of Teotihuacan influence in Gulf Coast ceramic assemblages in order to reconstruct relationships between Teotihuacan and various Classic period Gulf Coast polities. Here influence is defined as all archaeological indications of contact between two culturally or ethnically distinct populations. Variation in the timing and patterning of influence indicates variation in the nature of the relationships sustained between the two populations. To control for temporal and geographic variation, ceramic sequences and assemblage descriptions currently in use both at Teotihuacan and on the Gulf Coast are discussed and evaluated. Patterns of Teotihuacan influence in the ceramic assemblages of the Gulf Coast are shown to vary considerably from area to area and reflect clear differences in the timing and duration of Teotihuacan contact. Variation also occurs in the fidelity with which local imitations adhere to Teotihuacan stylistic conventions, the depositional context in which Teotihuacan imitations occur, and the range and types of Teotihuacan ceramic artifacts copied. The resulting patterns are interpreted to be meaningful in terms of past relationships between Teotihuacan and various Gulf Coast polities. The existence of Teotihuacan imperial control over part of the Gulf Coast is suggested.

The current interpretation of post-Archaic culture history in the northeastern Great Basin is that the Great Salt Lake regional variant of the Fremont culture arose from an Archaic base and is distinguished by two types of unpainted pottery, Great Salt Lake Gray and Promontory Gray. Seen as ethnically unrelated to the Fremont, the subsequent Shoshoni culture is marked by one type of unpainted pottery, Shoshoni Ware. These types are said to be characterized by distinct combinations of attributes, but close examination reveals that what these combinations are, and how they distinguish each type, has not been clearly described in the archeological literature. In this study, I re-analyze fragments of undecorated pottery previously classified as Great Salt Lake Gray, Promontory Gray, and Shoshoni Ware. Through rigorous and replicable methods, five major attributes found in every sherd are examined: wall thickness, exterior surface color, temper material, temper size, and technique of vessel shaping. This analysis showed that previous identifications of pottery attributes were partially or entirely erroneous. Every attribute measured demonstrated the same essential pattern: Great Salt Lake Gray had a wide range of variation, and Promontory Gray and Shoshoni Ware fell within this range. Further, except for one form of temper material, Promontory Gray and Shoshoni Ware shared the same attributes with one another. Ethnographic evidence is also presented that links late prehistoric pottery to that of the historic Shoshoni, confirming a single unbroken pottery tradition in the Great Salt Lake region. I conclude that the evidence of this study does not support the concept of two unrelated pottery traditions (Fremont and Shoshoni) in the Great Salt Lake region. Based on this work, much of the traditionally conceived post-Archaic culture history of this region must be reevaluated.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho, resultado do contato com sociedades da Reserva Indígena Kadiwéu, localizada no Pantanal Sul-mato-grossense, verifica a cerâmica ali produzida pelas índias, no período compreendido entre o final do século XIX e a atualidade. A investigação focaliza o processo de produção, os padrões ornamentais, a forma e a função dos objetos, além dos materiais e técnicas utilizados. A cerâmica Kadiwéu difere, atualmente, das demais produções brasileiras principalmente pela ornamentação, marcada por grafismos e cores muito peculiares. Essa produção sofreu, durante o período ao qual a pesquisa se ateve, transformações significativas no que se refere aos padrões e técnicas ornamentais, possivelmente devido à fixação dos índios próximo a Serra da Bodoquena, que oferece grande variedade de matérias-primas, incorporadas às produções correntes. Foram utilizadas como referência para esta pesquisa duas importantes coleções etnográficas: a de Guido Boggiani, que esteve entre os Kadiwéu em 1892 e 1897 e se encontra, sobretudo, em museus da Itália e a coleção recolhida por Darcy Ribeiro na década de 1940, período em que conviveu com eles. Essas coleções diferem muito da produção atual, conforme verificação feita durante os anos 2000 e 2005. A aproximação aos processos de produção, das formas, cores e padrões, impressos na cerâmica Kadiwéu, possibilitou a compreensão da real dimensão das inúmeras possibilidades de exploração do barro transformado pelo fogo, propondo, então, uma tradução poética dessa observação. São de essencial importância a apresentação desse percurso, a verificação e o registro dos processos de produção atuais, usados pelas mulheres índias para preparar, modelar e submeter o barro à ação mágica e transformadora do fogo. A tradução poética aqui delineada nasceu desse encontro, que provocou reflexões manifestadas por dois conceitos: persistência e tradição oral.
This work, resulting from contact with Reserva Indígena Kadiwéu (Kadiweu Indian Reserve) societies, located in South Mato Grosso state marsh region (Pantanal), focuses on pottery made by female Indians between late XIXth century and today. Besides material and techniques used, the investigation focuses on objects production process, ornamental patterns, form, and function. Nowadays, Kadiweu pottery differs from other Brazilian natives production mainly in ornamentation, marked by distinctive graphisms and colors. During the period researched, this productions patterns and ornamental techniques have significantly changed, possibly due to the settlement of that native group near Bodoquena Range, where they find a variety of raw material, incorporated to their current production. Two important ethnographic collections were used as a reference for this research: that of Guido Boggiani (who visited the Kadiweu Indians in 1892 and 1897), now specially found at Italian museums, and that accumulated by Darcy Ribeiro in the last century 40s, when he lived with them. These collections differ a lot from current production, as verified in 2000 and 2005. Approaching production processes, forms, colors and patterns imprinted in Kadiweu pottery provided comprehension of the actual dimension of the numberless possibilities of fire-transformed clay exploitation, leading then to a poetic translation of this observation. Of essential importance are presenting this trajectory, checking and registering present production processes used by female Kadiweu Indians in preparing, modelling and subjecting clay to the magic and transforming action of fire. The poetic translation here outlined was born from this meeting, which caused reflections manifested through two concepts: persistence and oral tradition.

Resumo: Percebendo uma dinâmica na cerâmica indígena que é fruto de agências e seus efeitos de captura sobre os receptores desta arte, a pesquisa faz uma aproximação às relações socioambientais e cosmologias, andina e amazônica, para compreender as ontologias indígenas e as relações de alteridade com seres míticos como a serpente, que desencadeiam transformações sociais nas aldeias. A atuação do xamanismo na produção de conceitos e de pessoa está inscrita nas produções cerâmicas através de referências à serpente como nos kene Shipibo-Conibo e na iconografia cerâmica andina pré-colombiana, indicando que os saberes cerâmicos indígenas funcionam em rede cosmológica na América do Sul.

Abstract: Noticing a dynamic in the indigenous ceramics that is the result of agencies and their capture effects on the receptors of this art, the research makes an approximation to the socio-environmental relations and cosmologies, Andean and Amazonian, to understand the indigenous ontologies and the relations of alterity with mythical beings like the serpent that trigger social transformations in the communities. The agency of the xamanism in the production of concepts and of person is inscribed in the ceramic productions through references to the serpent as the kene, drawings Shipibo-Conibo, and prehispanic Andean ceramic iconography, indicating that indigenous ceramic knowledge functions in a cosmological network in South America.

A pesquisa que resultou nesta dissertação teve como objeto de estudo a cerâmica dos Tapajó, em abordagem que privilegiou reconhecer o conjunto dessa produção e verificar, na análise estrutural de seus objetos, alguns elementos formais recorrentes. Também se buscou investigar como procedimentos inerentes ao fazer cerâmico possam ter sido empregados no processo, observando-se singularidades de algumas peças. Durante todo o percurso, procedeu-se ainda ao registro de impressões e inspirações que foram propulsoras de processo criativo do autor. Num diálogo entre pensamento e ação, teoria e prática, palavras e objetos, a pesquisa finalizou-se com a elaboração de um conjunto de objetos e esculturas em cerâmica, os quais expõem, em sua visualidade, percepções desse artista ceramista contemporâneo sobre o que foi investigado.
In this research, I investigated the ceramics of the Tapajos people, in approach that had opted to recognise the setting this production and verify, in structural analysis of its objects, some formal elements. It also sought to investigate how procedures inherent in ceramic making may have been employed in the process, observing singularities of some objects. Throughout the course, impressions and inspirations were also collected and stimulated the creative process of the author. In a dialogue between thought and action, theory and practice, words and objects, the research concluded with the elaboration of a set of objects and ceramic sculptures, which expose, in its visuality, perceptions of this contemporary artist ceramist about what was investigated.

Abstract:
This study illustrates the importance of finding out whether painted ceramics represent the total repertoire of decorated artifacts that are expected to carry social information. Painted designs on pottery are the focus of study because (1) painted decoration has had great importance in Southwest archaeology for studying social interaction, cultural affiliation, and fine-grained chronology based on stylistic change, and (2) painted decoration is less constrained by technology and intended vessel function than other attributes, and is most free to vary for social or ideological reasons. Two assumptions underlying previous work on ceramic design "messaging" are examined. First, are ceramics the most important medium for carrying social information? Second, is ethnicity the kind of information they are most likely to carry? These questions are addressed in a case study from the American Southwest. Decorated pottery, baskets, textiles, figurines, and rock art from the seventh century Basketmaker III period occupation of rock shelters in the Prayer Rock District, northeastern Arizona are examined. Comparison of design structure and content across these different media reveals two decorative styles, one for the portable household artifacts and one for rock art. In this case, pottery does not carry the full range of potential social information signalled by applied designs. The contexts of these two decorative styles are suggested by considering aspects of artifact function, design visibility, spatial distribution of artifacts, rock art, and architecture, together with hypotheses about gender differentiation and community organization. It is concluded that for the Prayer Rock Basketmakers, pottery decoration may have carried messages that had more to do with gender than ethnicity.

Abstract:
Taste--an appreciation for some things, a disdain for others--is usually understood by sociologists as playing a key role in struggles for position within closed, hierarchical status systems. Yet taste that reaches across cultural and social boundaries is a common phenomenon in a world of mobility and falling barriers to travel and access. This study argues that this expression of taste also has a political dimension, through an examination of the sponsorship of traditional Pueblo Indian pottery by Anglo newcomers to northern New Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s. The organization that these newcomers founded, the Indian Arts Fund, played an important role in building a differentiated market for Pueblo pottery, supported by an increasingly complex body of knowledge and evaluation. This intervention into the market for pottery, and into the definition of Pueblo culture, served to insert the Indian Arts Fund's members into regional society, against the resistance of older, more established elites. A visible association with Pueblo pottery linked newcomers to the transformation of the regional economy by tourism, which had shifted the source of value in northern New Mexico from natural resources to the marketing of particularity and difference. An examination of the role of pottery production, and income from pottery, in Pueblo communities reveals that the relationship between pottery and Pueblo culture was more complex, and more tangential, than the image that was being constructed in the context of the market.

Abstract:
This project was a reanalysis of the prehistoric ceramic collections from two important archaeolegical sites in east central Indiana: Mounds State Park (12-M-2) and the New Castle Site (12-Hn-1). Brief summaries of the two sites and their excavation histories are provided as well as summaries of the various pottery types involved. Specific attention is given to the New Castle Incised type.Previous interpretations regarding the ceramics from the two sties are given, and research from this project has provided new interpretations and information. Specifically, a statistical analysis was conducted, and the results show that the pottery from the two sites was made by peoples of the same culture. However, subtle changes were taking place in the manufacture of the pottery, primarily in the plain sherds.Future research goals are provided and include further excavations at both sites, thermoluminescence dating of sherds and additional study of the plain sherds.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mean Ceramic Dating (MCD) formula is a widely accepted method for dating historic archaeological ceramic assemblages. This mathematical assessment uses historically known ceramic manufacture ranges to determine a date assumed to correspond with a site's occupation; however, formula applications on nineteenth century sites have been inconsistent in establishing acceptable absolute dates. An examination of applications of the formula on nineteenth century ceramics reveals that it's strength is not in its ability to establish absolute dates for a site, but rather to create relative intrasite chronologies. This study uses ceramic assemblages excavated from several of the feature and outbuilding remnants at the Lanier site (12Je490) to assess and evaluate the MCD formula. Historical documentation allows hypothetical chronologies to be established for the site. The MCD formula is applied to several Lanier site contexts in order to demonstrate the formula's ability to establish relative intrasite chronologies for a nineteenth century site.

Abstract:
The Ceramics of Tiwanaku: What does the Variability Mean?Increasingly researchers observe a wide range of variability in Tiwanaku ceramics, not only in distant regions but also within the Tiwanaku heartland of the south Titicaca Basin. This variation makes it difficult to apply the three phase or five phase chronologies developed earlier this century, as is evidenced by the wide variety of adaptations made to accommodate new data into the old periodizations. What emerges from this newly described variability is a timeline for Tiwanaku that is both shorter and more complex than previously thought. This contradicts models of Tiwanaku as a monolithic, highly centralized state with few definable periods of distinct ceramic production or decorative style.
Cada vez más investigadores notan una amplia gama de variabilidad en la cerámica de Tiwanaku, no solo en las regiones a mucha distancia, sino también en la región central de Tiwanaku, al sur de la cuenca del lago Titicaca. Esta situación hace difícil aplicar las cronologías de tres y cinco fases desarrolladas a comienzos de este siglo, como lo evidencia la gran variedad de modificaciones hechas en ellas para poder acomodar los nuevos datos. Lo que emerge de esta nueva información es que el desarrollo temporal de la entidad política Tiwanaku es, simultáneamente, más corto y complejo de lo que se pensaba anteriormente. Esto contradice los modelos de Tiwanaku como un estado monolítico altamente centralizado, con algunos pocos periodos definibles de producción cerámica o estilo decorativo.

Abstract:
This study investigates prehistoric West Mexican mortuary activities as technological systems. That is, the production, distribution, and use of mortuary ceramics are considered within a social context. Changes in technology are related to social and ideational changes in the society. In the past, interest in West Mexico has been stimulated by the large number of Pre-columbian ceramic figurines found in museums and private collections worldwide. Lacking more specific information, the art world created a "cult of the dead" to describe the people who made these figurines. Today, evidence on mortuary behavior and lifeways clearly demonstrates that these people were involved in many kinds of activities. This study aims to define mortuary activity within a context of technological, social, and ideational structures. Within this framework, technological changes occurring between the late Formative and the Classic period (200 B.C. to A.D. 700) at two small sites in the Valley of Atemajac were compared to changes occurring at the center of the region, 50 kilometers away. Technical analysis of the artifacts using optical, electron optical, and x-ray techniques was carried out. When combined with grosser archaeological categories regarding the treatment of the interred, and the distribution of artifacts within and between tombs, this resulted in a technological reconstruction of the production, distribution, and use of the mortuary ceramics. This technological reconstruction was placed within a regional context, based on inferences built from settlement pattern and architectural data as well as ethnohistoric records. Technological reconstruction resulted in the unconditional conclusion that the technical, social and ideational changes seen in the Valley of Atemajac could only be due to a discontinuity in site occupation, and later resettlement by outsiders.

Abstract:
Depuis les années 1970, les imposantes structures fortifiées de la vallée du fleuve Cuyes, -située au sud de l'Équateur, à la frontière entre les Andes et l’Amazonie correspondant à la province de Morona Santiago-, ont attiré l'attention des anthropologues et archéologues : ces constructions ont-elles été bâties et occupées par des populations andines ? amazoniennes ? à quelle époque et dans quel contexte ? La thèse vise à alimenter la discussion grâce à l’application d'une méthodologie d’analyse de la céramique ancienne tout à fait novatrice pour l’archéologie de la région, basée sur le concept de chaîne opératoire et une lecture anthropologique du matériel
Since the 1970’s, the impressive fortified structures of the Cuyes river valley -located in the south of Ecuador, at the border between the Andes and the Amazonian lowlands-, have caught the interest of anthropologists and archaeologists: were these structures built and inhabited by Andean populations? Amazonian? when and in what kind of context? The dissertation aims at bringing new data to the debate through the use of a methodology of analysis of ancient ceramics totally new for the archaeology of the region, based on the concept of “chaîne opératoire” and on an anthropological interpretation of the material
