Socorro Black-on-white is a well-defined, but still poorly understood, pottery type that occurs at sites dating to the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Its widespread distribution across a large area of the eastern Pueblo region and unique associations provide clues concerning regional interaction that included the participation of new groups and reorganization of groups that had participated in earlier Mimbres and Chaco networks. Socorro Black-on-white appears to be the marker of a short-lived but distinctive network that formed with the population reorganizations during the mid-twelfth century.
