Description
by Michaell J. Harner and Alfred L. KroeberFOREWORD
The pottery here described was collected fifty years ago by Kroeber and is all in the University's Museum of Anthropology.
It is described for ethnological comparability by Kroeber, with emphasis on use, shape, painted design, and names of designs; and for archaeological utilization by Harner, with special attention to ware, temper, firing, hardness, forms, paint and color, and technological considerations generally. The two parts were written independently. They overlap here and there, especially on vessel shapes; but, after a few duplications were excised, it has seemed advantageous, after adding a brief concordance of terms employed by the two authors, to let the independent treatments of shapes stand double.
No comparisons with other native ceramic arts, recent or ancient, are undertaken by us.
