Summary:Pulling extensively from Duwe's recent book (Tewa Worlds: An Archaeological History of Being and Becoming in the Pueblo Southwest, 2020), they draw on Pueblo historical and philosophical concepts to strike a middle ground between scholars who argue that large-scale migrations from the Mesa Verde region were responsible for the Tewa florescence in the AD 1300s and 1400s, and scholars who instead argue for in situ development. Bruce Bernstein and colleagues pursue the idea of cultural movement by arguing that the creation of new pottery vessel forms was an effort to socialize a foreign domesticate (wheat) appropriately within a context where geographic movement was curtailed or problematic. [...]are there limits to an archaeology of continuity?
