      FOREWORD

      The pottery here described was collected fifty years ago by Kroeber and is all in the University's Museum of Anthropology.

      It is described for ethnological comparability by Kroeber, with emphasis on use, shape, painted design, and names of designs; and for archaeological utilization by Harner, with special attention to ware, temper, firing, hardness, forms, paint and color, and technological considerations generally. The two parts were written independently. They overlap here and there, especially on vessel shapes; but, after a few duplications were excised, it has seemed advantageous, after adding a brief concordance of terms employed by the two authors, to let the independent treatments of shapes stand double.

      No comparisons with other native ceramic arts, recent or ancient, are undertaken by us.

      POTTERY SHAPES RECOGNIZED BY THE MOHAVE

      The generic Mohave name for pottery vessels seems to be kwáθki,[1] the word for bowl.

      The shapes for which Mohave names were obtained are mainly those which segregate out objectively on examination of a collection:

      kwáθki, an open bowl with slightly everted lip, often with a band of mesquite bark—both bean mesquite and screw mesquite are specified in my notes—tied around the neck. The shape is shown in pls. 1, 2, 6,a-c, 8,d-h; the name kwáθki was specifically applied to 1,d, 2,b, 2,h, 6,a.

      kayéθa, a platter, that is, a low round bowl or flat dish without neck or everted lip, was applied to pl. 3,d. The shape is shown in pls. 3,a-d, g, 8,c.

      kayúka, pl. 3,c, or kakápa, also a platter, but oval, and smaller. Pls. 3,e, f, h-j, 6,d, e.

      kam'óta, a spoon, ladle, dipper, or scoop, more or less triangular. Pls. 4, 7,a-i, 8,i-k. Subclasses were not named to me, except for kam'óta ahmá, those with a quail head at the handle.

      katéla, bi-pointed tray for parching. Pl. 6,f, g.

      It will be observed that the last five names all begin with ka-.

      The name suyíre was given to pl. 6,c, which is intermediate between bowl and platter.

      táskyena is a cook pot. Pl. 5,c.

      tšuváva, a large cook pot, a foot and a half to two feet high. I have seen one of these in use, full to the brim with maize, beans, and fish, being stirred by an old man with three arrow weed sticks tied in the middle; but I did
