Anthropomorphs and Zoomorphs
Birdlike Forms and Possible Kokopelli Image Recovered at Goodman Point Pueblo
by Erin Baxter, Lab Program Coordinator
Pottery designs of the Mesa Verde region most commonly illustrate abstract, geometric elements. However, designs that incorporate “representational” images (actual people, animals, or inanimate objects) are far less frequent. Three pottery artifacts recovered from Goodman Point Pueblo reveal exciting anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures! These are particularly exciting discoveries because the images on them provide a rare, tangible link to the people that produced them. We hope that you will join us in 2007 with Adult Research Weeks or Fall Lab Weeks as we continue to investigate Goodman Point Pueblo.

Ancestor Figures: A Clay Workshop
Join Michael Kanteena of Laguna Pueblo
The art of pottery-making has deep roots in the Pueblo Indian cultures of the Southwest. Over time, Pueblo potters began decorating pots with textures, paint, and small animal effigies. Today, traditional Pueblo Indian pottery thrives as an art form, but many American Indian artists have developed new, deeply personal styles inspired by the designs of their ancestors. Join Michael Kanteena of Laguna Pueblo for a hands-on workshop to create your own Pueblo-inspired art pieces.
