The organization of regional economic and political systems has long been a major theme of archaeological study in the prehistoric American Southwest. Anthropologists have often relied upon ceramic production and exchange data to explore economic and social relations in precapitalist societies. Much of this work has traditionally focused on understanding the organization of a single component (production or exchange) of a regional economic system. A number of researchers have argued, however, that the analysis of these components must be integrated in order to more fully explore the social dimensions of economies. They maintain that it is through the examination of the connection between production and exchange that broader economic and social issues can be addressed.Tiffany Clark's dissertation research will explore the relationship between ceramic production and exchange in two regions of central New Mexico during the early Pueblo IV period (AD 1200/1250-1450). This study will focus on Chupadero Black-on-white pottery, one of the most widely distributed ceramic types in the prehistoric American Southwest. Chupadero ceramics are found throughout central and southern New Mexico and in adjacent parts of Texas, Arizona, and northern Mexico. This integrative research will evaluate the organization of production systems across different scales of long-distance trade. Chupadero is particularly well suited for this type of comparative analysis as it was produced by pottery specialists in only two areas of central New Mexico - the Salinas and Sierra Blanca regions. In addition, substantial differences exist in the scale of Chupadero production, distribution, and consumption between the two producing regions. The existence of these different economic systems provides a unique opportunity to evaluate different types of specialized production and exchange systems using a single ceramic commodity.To explore the relationship between production and exchange in early Pueblo IV regional economy, Ms. Clark will undertake a series of interrelated and complementary analyses. Using data from chemical and geological analyses, the location and intensity of Chupadero pottery production will be assessed for the Salinas and Sierra Blanca regions. In addition, chemical data will be used to examine the movement of pottery to consumers, as well as to evaluate the strength of local and long-distance trade relations. Conclusions regarding production and exchange patterns will then be used in conjunction with information from a study of ceramic designs to explore the networks of social relations that were present in prehistoric central New Mexico.The proposed study constitutes a detailed examination of the regional economic systems in which Chupadero Black-on-white pottery was produced and exchanged. The significance of this project lies in its holistic approach to economy, rigorous methodology incorporating two powerful analytical techniques, and use of an ideal archaeological case study. As such, the results of this study will add to a growing body of anthropological literature focusing on the organization of regional economic and social systems in the prehistoric American Southwest. Furthermore, this project will also contribute to our general understanding of the roles that production and exchange play in the development and maintenance of the economic and social relations in precapitalist societies.

区域经济和政治系统的组织一直是史前美国西南部考古学研究的一个重要主题。人类学家经常依靠陶瓷生产和交换数据来探索前资本主义社会的经济和社会关系。传统上，这方面的大部分工作都集中在理解区域经济系统的单个组成部分（生产或交换）的组织。然而，一些研究人员认为，必须综合分析这些组成部分，以便更充分地探讨经济的社会层面。他们坚持认为，这是通过生产和交换之间的联系，更广泛的经济和社会问题可以解决的检查。蒂凡尼克拉克的论文研究将探讨在普韦布洛四世早期（公元1200年/1250年至1450年）在中部新墨西哥州两个地区的陶瓷生产和交换之间的关系。这项研究将集中在楚帕德罗黑上白色陶器，在史前美国西南部最广泛分布的陶瓷类型之一。丘帕德罗陶瓷被发现在整个中部和南部新墨西哥州和邻近的部分得克萨斯州，亚利桑那州和北方墨西哥。这项综合研究将评估跨不同规模的远程贸易的生产系统的组织。Chupadero特别适合这种类型的比较分析，因为它是由陶器专家在新墨西哥州中部的两个地区-萨利纳斯和布兰卡山脉地区。此外，在两个产区之间，Chupadero的生产、分配和消费规模存在很大差异。这些不同的经济体系的存在提供了一个独特的机会，以评估不同类型的专业化生产和交换系统使用单一的陶瓷商品。为了探讨早期普韦布洛第四区域经济的生产和交换之间的关系，克拉克女士将进行一系列相互关联和互补的分析。利用化学和地质分析数据，将对萨利纳斯和布兰卡山脉地区丘帕德罗陶器生产的地点和强度进行评估。此外，化学数据将用于研究陶器向消费者的转移，以及评估当地和长途贸易关系的强度。关于生产和交换模式的结论，然后将被用于结合从陶瓷设计的研究信息，以探索网络的社会关系，目前在史前中部新墨西哥州拟议中的研究构成了一个详细的检查区域经济系统中，楚帕德罗黑色白色陶器的生产和交换。该项目的意义在于其整体的经济方法，结合两种强大的分析技术，严格的方法，并使用一个理想的考古案例研究。因此，这项研究的结果将增加人类学文献的日益增长的机构，侧重于在史前美国西南部的区域经济和社会系统的组织。此外，该项目还将有助于我们对生产和交换在前资本主义社会的经济和社会关系的发展和维持中所发挥的作用的普遍理解。
