Anasazi pottery is associated with the Ancestral Pueblo people, who inhabited the Southwestern United States, particularly the Four Corners region (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah).

It was typically made using a coil-and-scrape method, where clay coils were built up and then scraped smooth, a technique still practiced by some Pueblo Indian descendants today.

Anasazi potters used locally sourced gray clays, which were ground and then fired in community settings, often in earthen pits.

Function and Trade:

Anasazi pottery served both utilitarian and ceremonial purposes, including storage, cooking, and ritual use. Fine wares were also important for trade throughout the ancient Southwest
