Thirty-two sherds representing five different examples of Kayenta Anasazi Pueblo II pottery (Tusayan Corrugated [TC], Medicine Black-on-Red [MB], Tusayan Black-on-Red [TB], Dogoszhi Blackon-White [DB], and Sosi Black-on-White [SB]) have been analyzed for the elements As, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, V, and Zn by using the techniques of flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAA) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy (ETAA). Analytical procedures for the chemical analysis of ceramics afford accuracy and sensitivity and require only a modest capital investment for instrumentation. The sherd samples were collected at two sites, one in southern Utah (Navajo Mountain [NM]) and the second in northern Arizona (Klethla Valley [KV]). These sites are approximately 60 km apart. Statistical treatment of the data shows that only three clay types were used in the 32 sherds analyzed, and that only three elements (Fe, Pb, and Ni) are necessary to account for 100% of the dispersion observed within this sample set.
