UCSB Anthropology Brown Bag Lecture Series Presents:

Style, Technology, and Social Interaction in the Late Prehistoric American Southwest

By Cynthia Herhahn


The Late Prehistoric Period (ca. A.D. 1300-1450) in the Southwest shows evidence of large scale population movements, shifts in settlement patterns, and the spread of a pan-regional pottery style argued to represent the spread of a regional cult. An analysis of the technological style of Rio Grande glazeware attempts to elucidate the kinds of social interactions through which this pottery style diffused in order to assess more localized social implications of a pan-regional style.
