Hakataya

A pottery-making tradition of the American Southwest which includes groups of regionally distinct cultures of the southwestern plateau and Colorado River basin, such as Cerbat, Prescott, Cohohina, and Sinagua. There is considerable disagreement about the real extent and cultural affiliations of the tradition and dates start around 500 AD. As with other Southwest traditions (e.g. Anasazi, Mogollon) the Hakataya is thought to have emerged from the Desert Tradition.
