Ancestral Puebloan peoples inhabited the Pottery Mound site on New
Mexico's Rio Puerco River from the late fourteenth to the late
fifteenth centuries. Archaeologist Frank C. Hibben began excavating
Pottery Mound fifty years ago, when archaeologists were paying
relatively little attention to Ancestral Pueblo sites. Pottery
Mound remains poorly studied, under published, and largely
neglected.
Hibben found that Pottery Mound was home to diverse Puebloan
characteristics evident in both Rio Grande Pueblos and the Western
Pueblos. Hibben also discovered an abundance of pottery styles and
layers of murals in eleven kivas that are a magnificent archive of
religious iconography of the period.
"In New Perspectives on the Pottery Mound Pueblo," renowned
Southwestern archaeologist Polly Schaafsma presents essays by
contemporary scholars on the site's murals, rock art, pottery,
textiles, and archaeofaunal remains. Contributors revisit Pottery
Mound for new insights into inhabitants' regional interactions,
migrations, and trade during the Pueblo IV period--a time of
dynamic change in Puebloan culture.
