For Immediate Release
Hello!
Old Pueblo Archaeology bulletin number 87 has just been published!
This issue's lead article, "More than Meets the Eye: Slip, Paint, and Color
Horizons on Ancestral Pueblo Pottery," is authored by Suzanne Eckert, PhD,
Head of Collections at the Arizona State Museum, The University of Arizona.
Much of Dr. Eckert's research is focused on exploring the spread of
glaze-painted pottery technology throughout the Ancestral Pueblo World and
the social, ritual, and economic changes associated with it.
A presentation Suzanne gave for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's "Third
Thursday Food for Thought" Zoom series in October 2021 -"Telling Their Story
through Clay: Potters and Identity during the Pueblo Glaze Ware Period
(1275-1680 CE) in New Mexico" - inspired me to invite her to write this
issue's lead article. She happily accepted, expanded wonderfully on the
information she had presented in her talk, and was a joy to work with during
the editing process. Her thought-provoking article suggests that fine-line
hachuring designs on southwestern black-on-white decorated pottery up to the
first half of the 1300s, and glaze-painted designs created by Ancestral
Pueblo potters from the late 1200s to approximately 1700, both symbolized
life-giving water, and that the advent of glaze-painted designs ultimately
led to discontinuation of fine-hachured black-on-white ones. Suzanne's
article is adorned with fantastic full-color photographs by Star Ikamba, who
was assisted by Max Mijn, of 15 pottery vessels in the Arizona State
Museum's collections, and by additional full-color pottery photos taken by
Suzanne.
The second, shorter article in this issue no. 87 introduces Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center's current Board of Directors - Martina Dawley, Butch
Farabee, Anabel Galindo, Bill Gillespie, Sam Greenleaf (Vice President),
Mitch Kagen, Lynda Klasky, Maegan Lopez, Nica Prillaman (Treasurer), Asa
Sherry, A. J. Vonarx, Pat Wiedhopf (Secretary), and Monica Young (President)
- and tells a bit about each of them.
