Abstract
The Classic period (1325–1600) in the north and middle Rio Grande region (Cordell 1997) was a time of reorganization as historically diverse peoples aggregated into larger villages. Reorganization resulted in various changes including the production of glaze-painted pottery, which was widely exchanged throughout much of the pre-Hispanic Southwest. Previous research has focused on its production in the Albuquerque area and the Galisteo Basin. This article summarizes previous and recent work providing evidence of production of glaze-painted pottery on the Pajarito Plateau and presents new petrographic and stable lead isotopic studies that reveal that Pajarito potters produced glaze-painted pottery and were part of a larger network of potters who used lead from the Cerrillos Hills in the glaze paint.
