During the AD 1750–1850 period, Pawnee households in the Central Plains made and used ceramic vessels less frequently than Arikara and Hidatsa households in the Northern Plains. Here I explore Pawnee vessel function and ceramic persistence during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries through measurements and use-alteration analysis of 15 reconstructed jars from five Pawnee or ancestral Pawnee sites. These data indicate that ancestral Pawnee households stopped designing or using ceramics for cooking by the end of the Lower Loup phase, approximately AD 1750, although ceramic vessels were used for liquid storage and ritual practice into the early 1800s. The reasons why Pawnee women stopped cooking in ceramic vessels in the mid-eighteenth century, perhaps a century earlier than Arikara and Hidatsa women to the north, are probably linked to epidemic impacts and economic decisions about bison hide production for European trade.

Pawnee 血管功能和陶瓷持久性：来自 Burkett、Barcal、Linwood、Bellwood 和 Horse Creek 遗址的重建血管

在公元 1750 年至 1850 年期间，中原的波尼族家庭制造和使用陶瓷器皿的频率低于北部平原的阿里卡拉族和日达萨族。在这里，我通过对来自五个波尼或波尼祖先遗址的 15 个重建罐的测量和使用-改变分析，探索了 17 到 19 世纪波尼血管功能和陶瓷的持久性。这些数据表明，到下卢普阶段末期，大约在公元 1750 年，祖传波尼家庭停止设计或使用陶瓷来烹饪，尽管陶瓷器皿在 1800 年代初期被用于液体储存和仪式实践。波尼族妇女在 18 世纪中叶停止在陶瓷器皿中烹饪的原因，可能比北方的 Arikara 和 Hidatsa 妇女早一个世纪，
