"Mohave Pottery" by A. L. Kroeber is an examination of the pottery of the Mohave people during the mid-20th century. The study gives an overview of the different kinds of pottery, how they were made, what the designs mean, and their importance to the Mohave culture. Organized as an ethnographic and archaeological study, the writing catalogs the different kinds of Mohave pottery and points out what makes each form special. It looks at bowl, plate, and pot forms, as well as the meaning behind the painted designs. The study uses a collection of pottery that’s fifty years old from the University of California’s Museum of Anthropology to give this detailed analysis.
