Western Pueblo Paint Pigmenting Strategies Presentation
October 8, 2024 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Sandia Ranger District, 11776 NM-337, Tijeras, NM 87059, USA“Western Pueblo Paint Pigmenting Strategies” free presentation by archaeologist Judith A. Habicht-Mauche, PhD, sponsored by Friends of Tijeras Pueblo, at Sandia Ranger Station, 11776 NM-337, Tijeras, New Mexico
6:30 pm. Free.
The results of lead isotope and chemical compositional analyses are used to explore the diverse ways that Western Pueblo potters made glaze paints during the fourteenth century in the Upper Little Colorado, Western Zuni, and Silver Creek areas of the American Southwest. These strategies are compared across the different areas where we know glaze-painted pottery was made, in order to trace the circulation of raw materials, technological knowledge, production techniques, and finished pots through networks of social interaction at the village, regional, and interregional scales.
