This study addresses the relationship between two well-excavated Chacoan great houses in the Middle San Juan (MSJ), Aztec and Salmon, and great houses in Chaco Canyon. We examine a common ceramic database to ascertain whether technological features o f paste and temper in conjunction with a design symmetry analysis of patterns in the Chaco Design System (CDS) show evidence for an initial migration of Chacoan craftspeople north into the MSJ and later emulation of Chacoan ceramic traits by local potters. Our results indicate that about half the vessels with hachured designs within the CDS at these two great houses were made somewhere in the Chaco-Cibola production area, suggesting they were brought to the sites. The remaining half were made with local clay and temper resources in the MSJ, indicating that they were either made as copies of Chaco designs or made by immigrant Chacoan potters.
