Extract

In the October, 1956, issue of American Antiquity (pp. 180–3) an article appeared by Edward B. Danson and Roberts M. Wallace entitled “A Petrographic Study of Gila Polychrome.” The authors imply that up to the time of their publication Southwesternists assumed that Gila Polychrome was traded from one small area (Roosevelt- Tonto Basin) to all other regions. As far as I know this idea was restricted to those who adhered to Gladwin’s hypothesis of the Salado culture. They even quote a statement of mine (1952: 330) out of context to support their point.
