"""In 'Pottery of the Southwest, ' Carol and Allan Hayes de-mystify what can be a somewhat mystical art form. This level-headed, no-nonsense book follows each Southwestern geographical area/culture from prehistory through the historic pueblo era to the modern era. In a few words, and with a profusion of illustrated examples, the authors link Southwestern pottery to the people who made it, and to those people's relationships with their neighbors and ancestors."" --Alice Kaufman, Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association"
