It focuses on the differences in pottery design of two neighbouring New Mexican pueblos, Cochiti & Santo Domingo, located south of Santa Fe and north of Albuquerque. A valuable addition to the libraries of those interested in Pueblo Indian pottery, Native American arts and culture, and south-western history and anthropology.
