"Pottery and Practice" examines decorated pottery and its
production in prehispanic New Mexico's Lower Rio Puerco area
through the lens of practice theory. Arguing that social relations
can be interpreted from the mundane practice of everyday life,
Eckert shows how the relationship between ethnicity, migration, and
ritual practice combined to create a complexly patterned material
culture among residents of two fourteenth-century Pueblo villages.
Focusing specifically on the social boundaries that existed between
immigrant and local Pueblo groups, she argues that tensions between
these groups were articulated in potters' decisions of how to make
and decorate their vessels. After providing the archaeological and
temporal context of her study, Eckert defines communities of
practice and communities of identity within Pottery Mound and
Hummingbird Pueblo, and then examines these communities in light of
migration and ritual practice.
