Four Corners Research
Information Repository
SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The Four Corners Research web site is a repository for information about ongoing research projects that are focused on extracting information that may contribute to providing a more complete picture of life in the prehistoric Mesa Verde region of Southwest Colorado and Southeast Utah. One of the least understood questions that are addressed through these projects relates to how communities interacted with each other.
The Mesa Verde region Ceramic Sourcing Project investigates specific questions related to identifying favored relationships and alliances between specific villages that were producing pottery for export and the communities that acquired those vessels. The huge numbers of vessels that were exchanged between the Central Mesa Verde region and the West-Central Mesa Verde region indicates important ties existed between these two subregions.
