Abstract
- Ethnographies of Native North America document an abundant and diverse array of directional color systems, yet archaeology has contributed little to the understanding of the historical development of such systems. Given a rekindling of archaeological interest in color, this paper reviews and organizes the ethnographic data in order to pose historical and functional hypotheses susceptible to archaeological evaluation.
