Under the direction of Dr. Michelle Hegmon, Ms Jannette Mobley-Tanaka will collect data for her doctoral dissertation. Using ceramic analysis she will reconstruct social organization in a prehistoric southwest USA Pueblo community. Analysis of community interaction has been critical to archaeologists' understanding of the abandonment of the Mesa Verde region (southwest Colorado) around AD 1300. Communities - important places on the landscape - persisted for generations, even as individuals and households shifted residences frequently, thus these communities were much more than groups of individuals. Communities also became larger and more densely packed over time, and eventually controlled access to agricultural lands and served as units of defense and conflict. This picture, while fascinating, is based almost exclusively on analyses of the interaction among communities, rather than the social dynamics within communities. Mobley-Tanaka's research will fill this gap, utilizing data from the large Yellow Jacket community in southwest Colorado to analyze intra-community interaction. Archaeologists rarely are able to undertake such detailed analyses, but they are possible in this case because of (1) many years of research at Yellow Jacket; (2) deposits that are clearly associated with individual residences; (3) the identification of three pottery-making kilns at the site. These circumstances will allow Mobley-Tanaka to determine where households obtained their domestic goods - information that can be used to trace patterns of consumption and exchange at the intra-community level. NSF funds will support analyses concerning the production and distribution of pottery. Petrographic analysis will allow identification of where the pottery was made and thus how it was distributed across the community. These data can answer questions about the nature of inter-household interaction within the community: Were households relatively independent or strongly interdependent? Were there various networks of interacting households? Results regarding intra-community dynamics will be combined with extant understandings of inter-community interaction to illuminate the role of communities in the abandonment of the Mesa Verde region and to better understand the nature of community in the past. They will also increase understanding of an important aspect of US prehistory and assist in training a promising young scientist.

在 Michelle Hegmon 博士的指导下，Jannette Mobley-Tanaka 女士将为她的博士论文收集数据。她将利用陶瓷分析重建美国西南部史前普韦布洛社区的社会组织。 对社区互动的分析对于考古学家了解公元 1300 年左右梅萨维德地区（科罗拉多州西南部）的废弃至关重要。社区——景观上的重要地方——持续了几代人，即使个人和家庭经常搬迁住所，因此这些社区不仅仅是个人群体。随着时间的推移，社区也变得更大、更密集，并最终控制了农田的使用权，并成为防御和冲突的单位。 这张图虽然令人着迷，但几乎完全基于对社区之间互动的分析，而不是社区内的社会动态。 莫布利-田中的研究将填补这一空白，利用科罗拉多州西南部大型黄夹克社区的数据来分析社区内的互动。 考古学家很少能够进行如此详细的分析，但在本例中他们是可能的，因为（1）在黄夹克进行了多年的研究； （二）与个人住宅有明显关联的存款； （3）遗址内有3座制陶窑址的鉴定。 这些情况将使 Mobley-Tanaka 能够确定家庭从哪里获得国内商品，这些信息可用于追踪社区内部的消费和交换模式。 NSF 资金将支持有关陶器生产和分配的分析。 岩相学分析将有助于确定陶器的制作地点以及陶器如何在社区中分布。 这些数据可以回答有关社区内家庭间互动性质的问题：家庭是相对独立还是强烈相互依赖？ 是否存在各种互动的家庭网络？ 有关社区内部动态的结果将与对社区间互动的现有理解相结合，以阐明社区在梅萨维德地区废弃中的作用，并更好地了解过去社区的性质。他们还将增进对美国史前史一个重要方面的了解，并协助培养有前途的年轻科学家。
