Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan) pottery bowls are prehistoric ceramic vessels made by the Ancestral Pueblo peoples of the Four Corners region (present-day Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah), roughly from the early centuries CE through about 1300 CE. “Anasazi” is an older term (Navajo-derived, often translated as “ancient ones” or “enemy ancestors”); modern scholarship and descendant communities prefer “Ancestral Puebloan,” as these people are the ancestors of today’s Pueblo peoples such as the Hopi and Zuni.
