The presence of Cibola white ware ceramic types at Late Developmental period sites in the Northern Rio Grande (NRG) region of New Mexico has been interpreted as a strong indicator of cultural interaction with, or immigration from, communities associated with the Chaco regional system in the American Southwest. We report the results of an analysis of chemical composition data obtained from neutron activation analysis (NAA) of pottery sherds originating from three Late Developmental sites in the southern Tewa Basin of the NRG. Our results revealed three compositional groups, one local and two non-local. Comparison with existing data sets allowed us to identify specific production areas and great house communities within the Chaco regional system as likely sources for one of the two non-local groups. Our findings also revealed five sherds of a local NRG pottery type, Kwahe’e B/w that were made with non-local clay from the Chaco regional system, but were tempered with local materials.

新墨西哥州特瓦盆地后期发育阶段的陶瓷成分数据分析

新墨西哥州北里奥格兰德州（NRG）地区晚期发展时期遗址中出现的Cibola白色陶瓷类型被认为是与该地区Chaco区域系统相关社区文化互动或移民的有力指标。美国西南。我们报告从中子活化分析（NAA）从NRG南部Tewa盆地的三个后期开发站点的陶片的中子活化分析（NAA）获得的化学成分数据的分析结果。我们的结果显示了三个组成组，一个本地和两个非本地。与现有数据集的比较使我们能够在Chaco区域系统中确定特定的生产区域和豪宅社区，作为两个非本地组之一的可能来源。
