Six percent of the fragments derive from micaceous earthenware cooking pots that were produced, traded, and used by Hispanic and Native American women in northern New Mexico, especially during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (Cowell 2018) . The first generations of Hispanic women who settled Los Ojitos from the late 1860s onward likely brought pots from the last generation of traditionally produced and traded micaceous ceramics from northern New Mexico. Micaceous ceramic vessels at Los Ojitos, as part of the last generation of pots produced and traded through traditional means in northern New Mexico, represent material traces of the Hispanic homeland as it changed under the American regime.	./cache/cord-273824-qybrotg8.txt	./txt/cord-273824-qybrotg8.txt
