Extract

Several problems arising from the very interesting ceramic wares of the Gallina area have already appeared in print. H. P. Mera has admirably described the various potteries of this region and made certain suggestions concerning their origin. The utility vessels of the Gallina have attracted special comment and have figured more than any other one feature in discussions of the cultural origin of the whole complex. Several additional seasons of field work in this area have, however, added a number of new items to the picture sufficient, perhaps, to color final conclusions.

The pottery of the Gallina quite naturally divides itself into two major varieties. These are the utility wares and the decorated wares. The dichotomy between the two transcends the ordinary division of usage. The decorated ware and the utility pottery of this complex seem to derive from two separate origins and traditions.
