Book excerpt: "Drawing on the extensive collections of the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture/Laboratory of Anthropology, this publication examines the story of Cochiti and Santo Domingo pottery traditions from multiple interpretive viewpoints: artistic, anthropological, historical, as well as curatorial, cultural, and personal. The reader is given the opportunity to experience the world of Pueblo pottery on many levels, and through many avenues of experience, and provided with some interpretive tools with which to critique generally accepted authorities and assumptions about Pueblo pottery. A River Apart positions the ceramic traditions of these villages side by side: geographically, temporally, taxonomically, and artistically."--BOOK JACKET.
