Abstract

Mimbres painted pottery from the U.S. Southwest is renowned for its spectacular designs. Literature on style and identity suggests three concepts helpful for understanding its social significance: boundaries, multiple dimensions of variation, and historical context. This article investigates these concepts by synthesizing past studies with new analyses. The distribution of Mimbres pottery is strongly bounded, demonstrated with data from the cyberSW project. Variation in designs is multidimensional: (1) individual artists created distinctive styles; (2) specific designs are distributed homogeneously across the region, a conclusion demonstrated in part with new analyses of the geometric designs; and (3) pan-regionally, the designs’ content, regular structure, and appearance on multiple media suggest they were meaning-charged. Considering these findings in their historical context provides insights into the pottery's social significance and elaboration: population growth in the resource-rich Mimbres region engendered land tenure systems, marked in part by burials that included pottery. The pottery came to convey the message “I belong here” from two perspectives. By adopting the pottery, people, including migrants, signaled their acceptance of established ways of life in the region, and their access to the pottery indicated their acceptance in the social milieu.

La cerámica pintada Mimbres del suroeste de los Estados Unidos es reconocida por sus diseños espectaculares. La literatura sobre estilo e identidad sugiere tres conceptos útiles para entender su significado social, su fronteridad (boundaries), sus múltiples capas de variación y su contexto histórico. Estos conceptos se investigan sintetizando estudios anteriores con nuevos análisis. La distribución de la cerámica Mimbres está fuertemente delimitada, como lo demuestran el uso de los datos del proyecto cyberSW. La variación de los diseños es discernible en varios niveles. (1) Artistas individuales crearon estilos distintivos. (2) Diseños específicos se distribuyen homogéneamente por toda la región, una conclusión demostrada en parte con nuevos análisis de los diseños geométricos. (3) De manera panregional, el contenido, la estructura regular y la aparición en múltiples medios de los diseños sugieren que fueron cargados de significado, una conclusión apoyada por los nuevos análisis de los diseños. El considerar estos hallazgos en su contexto histórico proporciona perspectivas respecto al significado social y la elaboración de la cerámica: El crecimiento poblacional en la región Mimbres, rica en recursos, engendró sistemas de tenencia de la tierra, marcados en parte por entierros que incluyeron cerámica. La cerámica llegó a transmitir el mensaje “Yo pertenezco aquí” desde dos perspectivas. La adopción de la cerámica por parte de la gente, incluyendo los inmigrantes, indicó su aceptación de las formas de vida establecidas en la región, y su acceso a la cerámica indicó su aceptación en el entorno social.
