"Loom Anchor" Fragment
Cultural Period: Ancestral Puebloan, Atsinna Pueblo (A.D. 1275 – mid-1300s)
Description: Gray-slipped, unfired “loom anchor.” Such an object might have been used to weigh down wefts during weaving; however, this technique is not known for the prehistoric Southwest, so this artifact likely served a different function.
Dimensions: L 5.0, DIAM 3.5 CM.
Provenience: LA 99 (Atsinna Pueblo), Room 20, Fill.
Collection: National Park Service, El Morro.
