Modern Pottery-Making In San Anton, Mexico, Gordon J. Hadden
Modern Pottery-Making In San Anton, Mexico, Gordon J. Hadden
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

We can attribute this diversity of pottery-making techniques to the blending of pre-Conquest native practices with those of the postConquest Spanish.
