SUMMARY:Free Online Talk: The Shapes of Us: Salado Polychrome Pottery and the Kayenta Diaspora in the 1300s and 1400s,” with Kate Barvick, PhD.
DESCRIPTION:\nAmerind Free Online Talk\nThursday, July 16, 2026\n12:00 pm (AZ time)\nTo register, visit: https://bit.ly/Amerindonline07162026Barvick ( https://bit.ly/Amerindonline07162026Barvick )\n \nJoin us on Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 12:00 pm (AZ time) for an online talk, “The Shapes of Us: Salado Polychrome Pottery and the Kayenta Diaspora in the 1300s and 1400s” with Kate Barvick, PhD.\nIn the late 1200s, a massive drought hit the Southwest, causing political instability and sparking a massive migration as people left the Four Corners area and migrated south to settle along the rivers, which changed to social and political organization of the Southwest forever. One group of people, from the Kayenta region of northeastern Arizona, settled across a wide area of central and southern Arizona and eastern New Mexico, sometimes integrating into local settlements, sometimes setting up their own enclaves away from existing settlements. My research focuses on Salado polychrome, a specific type of pottery that arose among these Kayenta immigrant communities and spread across Arizona and New Mexico. By looking at Salado polychrome pots across the Southwest, and specifically at the variation in their shapes, I investigate how the Kayenta immigrant diaspora shared technological practices regarding pottery creation across far-flung communities in the 1300s and 1400s, how the use of Salado polychrome spread, and how Kayenta immigrants negotiated their identities as Kayenta people and as immigrants in their new homes.\nDr. Kate Barvick is an archaeologist who studies pottery, migration, and community networks in the US Southwest. She grew up in Massachusetts and received a BA in Anthropology and Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2018. Her archaeology experience in Massachusetts focused on 18th- and 19th-century historic house sites, with a special emphasis on the Revolutionary War era. Her research in the Southwest is both older than that (she spent several summers in northern New Mexico near Taos, on a collaborative community project with Picuris Pueblo) and more recent (she spent several years researching the history of baseball and its connection to labor movements in the 20th century in Bisbee, AZ). She brings from this background a passion for public archaeology, community engagement, and the bridging of the past and the present. She currently lives in Tucson, recently defended her PhD at the University of Arizona, and is the Amerind Emerging Scholar-in-Residence in Summer 2026.\nIf you are unsure if you can watch live, register using an email and the recording of the talk will be sent to you following the program.\nWe hope you will join us!\n
