From the Preface

This study of Papago Indian pottery was inspired in the graduate seminar in anthropology conducted in the spring of 1958 by Emil W. Haury, head of the department of anthropology of the University of Arizona and director of the Arizona State Museum. Most of the interviews with Papago potters were carried out that spring by Fontana and Cormack, ethnologists, and by Robinson, an archaeologist. Robinson, with generous assistance from Ernest E. Leavitt, Jr., collected sherds from additional Papago sites and made a complete analysis of the Papago sherds already contained in the collection of the Arizona State Museum.
