Hi Folks,

For all who have shown an interest in MO pottery the following are the
contents of the journal_ Kiva_, Vol. 60, No.1, 1994, (ISSN:0023-1940), a
publication of the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society. In my
opinion it is the best publication to date on the subject.

Contents-

1) Introduction: Chronology and Perspective on the Mata Ortiz Phenomenon

2) Photo Section

3) Making Pottery at Mata Ortiz

4) Pioneering an Art Movement in Northern Mexico: The Potters of Mata Ortiz

5) The Potters of Porvenir: The Lesser Known Artisans of Mata Ortiz

6) La Familia Banuelos: A Case Study of a Mata Ortiz Potterymaking Family

7) Through a Mother's Eyes: A Conversation with Dona Paulita

State Museum is a 37 page description of the MO process from clay
preparation to firing (including firing times and temperature
measurements).
