Abstract

This study describes the symmetrical structure of hatched patterns in two ceramic types, Gallup Black-on-white and Chaco Black-on-white, made and used during the heyday of the Chaco network, A. D. 1050-1150. This design system represents a discontinuity in pattern, pattern formation, and structural symmetry from the previous decorative styles in the region. It consists of a limited repertoire of patterns formed by the continuous-line construction technique organized by a limited number of two-dimensional symmetries. These patterns are repeatedly painted on three specific vessel forms found especially in burials and storage rooms at Pueblo Bonito. Identical patterns from this Bonito repertoire are found at other great houses and small sites in great house communities throughout the San Juan Basin. The widespread distribution of this uniform design system is new evidence for the existence of institutionalized sociopolitical ties between Pueblo Bonito and the other great houses and small sites in the Chaco network. The implications of the homogeneous nature of this system and its sudden appearance without precedent will be addressed.

Resumen

Resumen

Este Estudio describe la estructura simétrica de los patrones de decoración en dos tipos de ceràmica, Gallup Negro-sobreblanco y Chaco Negro-sobre-blanco, hechas y usadas durante el apogeo de la cultura Chaco (1050-1150 d.C). Este sistema de disenño representa una ruptura en patrones, su formación y la simetria estructural con los estilos decorativos previos en la region. Consiste de un limitado repertorio de patrones formados por la técnica de línea continua organizada por un número limitado de simetrias de dos dimensiones. Estos patrones están pintados repetidamente en tres formas de vasijas específicas encontradas especialmente en enterramientos y almacenes en Pueblo Bonito. Patrones idénticos de este repertorio Bonito se encuentran también en sítios mayores y pequeños que conforman el estilo Great House a través de la Cuenca del río San Juan. La extensa distribución de este sistema de diseño uniforme es nueva evidencia para la existencia de vínculos socio-políticos institucionalizados entre el sitio Pueblo Bonito y demás sitios Great House de la cultura Chaco. Las implicaciones de la naturaleza homogénea de este sistema y su repentina aparición sin precedente serán abordadas.
