Summary "Mohave Pottery" by A. L. Kroeber and Michael J. Harner is an ethnographic and archaeological study of the pottery created by the Mohave people, written in the mid-20th century. The work focuses on different pottery types, their construction techniques, designs, and cultural significance. It provides a comprehensive investigation into the forms and styles of Mohave ceramics, cataloging their variations and identifying characteristics. At the start of "Mohave Pottery," the authors introduce the context of the pottery collection, which dates back fifty years and is housed in the University of California’s Museum of Anthropology. The foreword emphasizes the ethnological and archaeological analysis undertaken by Kroeber and Harner to detail vessel shapes, uses, and designs as well as the materials and methods used in pottery making. The initial observations highlight the various shapes recognized by the Mohave, including bowls, platters, and cooking pots, alongside a detailed discussion on the significance of their painted designs and ornamentation, establishing the groundwork for the following in-depth analysis throughout the publication.
