Notes:  Pamphlet.  Offprint.  Originally published in the SAA Papers, No. 1, 1980.  “The procedures described here have been applied to ceramics from 29SJ633 (the Eleventh Hour Site, see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/excavations-29sj-633-the-eleventh-hour-site-chaco-canyon-nm/  ), a site in Chaco Canyon with an A.D. 1250 ± 28 date, and a late burial and ceramic complex.  Similar sites in Chaco have heretofore been characterized as belonging to the Mesa Verde reoccupation of Chaco.  The results of the present study, however, indicate that the associated ceramics do not conform to logically derived ceramic implications for a large immigration into a deserted Chaco Canyon.  Rather than complete replacement, the temper, paste and designs present consistently suggest a change in extant ceramic patterns.”  (Page 114)      No other copies available for sale.
