The patterns of interest are the distribution of pottery in the Phoenix Basin given a simple economy abstractly modeled on the prehistoric Hohokam occupation of the region. Spatial distribution of farming and pottery producing households, exchange network topologies, and rule sets governing individual ...

The widespread occurrence of pottery in the American Southwest and its rich geological diversity enable researchers to study the ancient patterns of interaction between socially and spatially close, as well as more distant, populations. Precision, specificity, and quantity are the three obstacles to ...
Identical rock types with different chemistry: sourcing phyllite-tempered Hohokam pottery from the Phoenix basin, Arizona. J. Archaeol. Sci. 37, 1612e1622.Abbott, David R., and Joshua Watts 2010 Identical rock types with different chemistry: sourcing phyllite-tempered Hohokam pottery from the ...
Sand temper compositions of regionally distinct Hohokam pottery sherds were determined by detailed point counts using sedimentary petrographic methods. Different temper compositions from different sites were compared with maps of sand composition zones within the geographic range of the pottery in order to ...
Previously identified "trails" bearing north from Snaketown are reinterpreted as roads along which pottery from Snaketown workshops was transported to consumer villages along the Salt River. The roads may also have formalized sociopolitical ties among communities, in the absence of common irrigation ...
This project explores the relationship between the process of stylistic innovation on decorated pottery and the social context in which it occurred in the Hohokam area of south-central Arizona between A.D. 800 and 1300. This interval was punctuated by three episodes of reorganization, each of ...
In the Hohokam case, widespread dependence on the products of a few concentrated pottery producers developed in the absence of political centralization or hierarchical social arrangements. The factors that promoted intensified pottery production, therefore, are the keys to addressing how economic systems ...
Studies include technological assessment of pottery; a functional and technological assessment of whole vessels from Classic Period SGA sites and comparative study of whole vessels from Los Muertos; stylistic analysis of buff wares and polychrome pottery; x-ray fluorescence analysis of pottery; ...
