High-quality chronological information is essential to productive archaeological research. Desert Archaeology's specialists have made significant refinements to both the Tucson Basin Red-on-brown and the Phoenix Basin Red-on-buff ceramic typologies. The result is much finer chronological resolution and major new insights into change in the past.

Ceramicist James M. Heidke has developed a new approach for assessing how prehistoric pottery was used. This technique can highlight differences among contemporaneous settlements and has been used to identify the areas within a community where founding populations first settled.

Our ceramic specialists are available to participate in cooperative research projects, or to conduct analyses for specific projects.
