EXCAVATING AT CASA GRANDE RUINS (Continued from page one.) beautifully stated the intellectual quality of the ceramic art, the art of pottery making. This requires considerable manual skill, even in its earliest phases; and since pot tery is fragile and constantly break ing, the supply of vessels has fre quently to be renewed. Intricate And Varied Patterns The impermanence of the finish ed product, the need for continual manufacture, stimulates the imag ination. The hand and the mind of the potter were working together and a survey of a well-chosen and well-arranged collection of pottery from our Southwest, whether from the Pueblo or the Colorado river cultures, will impress all with the varied forms, the intricate and beautiful patterns of the decora tions, the fascinating development and decline of the different styles and methods of decoration and form. Awhile back I mentioned our growing interest in the decoration on the pottery which we are find in at Casa Grande ruin. Sometime all who care to see these speci mens will find them on display. So far. only potsherds have been found by our party. We have a few sherds with decorations in three and even four colors; more with black de signs on white backgrounds but for the most part the patterns are painted in red on buff pottery. While these red designs are, so far, all geometrical, we have already gathered a very interesting variety. Pottery Making Profession In the central Gila river culture, we assume that pottery was made by the women, as it generally was throughout the Americas. In Cen tral America and Peru, in prehis toric times, pottery-making ceased to be mere woman’s work and be came a profession, just as it is to day at San lldefonso and other pu teblos in our Southwest. If the women of the site we are studying made the pottery, it is not surprising that the designs are geometrical and conventionalized, because altiios* always the women confined th .nr olves to such de signs. It was the men who made the realistic portrayals of beasts and birds, etc., except in the very high est developments of decorative art; at least so I understand it. Basket-making came before pot tery-making. As in all weaving, the warp and the woof elements have a geometrical relationship. They are at right angle, one to the other. A design therefore can, in the main,' be built up only in equal rectangular units, as Dr. W’issler says. In basket-making diagortals can be run only as steps; this is hard to escape in cloth as well. What more natural than the de signs which women had long woven into baskets should be used on pot tery?—The Arizona Republican. New 4-E.ow Planter for Farmall, cheap. See J. B.
