I found I still had some links pertaining to Anasazi. This is the
last of them.

Anasazi Digs(*)
http://www.anasazi-digs.com/anasaziartifactsmugs.htm >
>
> Montezuma Village is an extensive Anasazi ruin
> located in the canyons of the northern San Juan
> River Drainage, south of Monticello, Utah.
>
The physical archaeological site is privately owned.
The web pages have pictures of clay artefacts found on the site,
with
a number of interesting patterns shown, particularly inside the
bowls
where, as Katheleen Nez wrote, the designs are done on the inside
surfaces.
You can pay (it is quite costly) to participate in the dig, and if
you
pay enough, to keep artifacts (if not burial related.)
Excavation pricing has four distinct categories:
>
> Adult - Option 1. $2,500U.S./day
> All artifacts* within the guest's designated/chosen excavation unit
> become the sole property of the individual guest that discovered the
> artifact. Artifacts located outside the guests designated excavation
> unit remain the property of Anasazi Digs.
>
> Adult - Option 2. $1,500U.S./day
> All artifacts* remain the sole property of Anasazi Digs, but the
> excavators name is associated with the discovery of the artifact and is
> listed on the artifacts documentation. This applies to any artifacts
> discovered by the guests, whether within or outside their
> designated/chosen excavation unit.
>
The other two categories are similar, but are somewhat less dear, and
refer to children 12 through 16 who, if supervised by parents, may
also pay and register for the right to keep the artifacts they
personally discover.
>
> Digging tools will be supplied by Anasazi Digs. No mechanical digging
> is allowed by the guest. Supplies will include: trowels, hand brushes,
> miscellaneous small excavation tools, shovels, picks, brooms,
> buckets, sifting screens, paper and plastic artifact bags.
>
> *Excludes burials, which must be handled according to applicable
> Federal and state laws.

Chaco Canyon, New Mexico
http://emuseum.mnsu.edu/archaeology/sites/northamerica/chaco.html
Educational site with history, photos of archaeology sites and some
pottery.

Another place to see and buy contemporary pueblo (Also other native
American) pottery
http://www.indiansummer.com/pottery.htm
You will see somewhat more modern designs here.
Pots hand coiled.
What I tend to call "cute" stuff (even though handmade and
well-executed, is, I presume what are referred to as
"storytellers", "fetishes", and "dolls".

Prehistoric Anasazi Pottery
http://208.55.105.193/anasazi.html
Commercial site (part of a meteorite selling site)
There are 8 or 10 old pots, some plain, some patterned.

Matthew Chase Gallery
http://www.pueblopottery.com/mcpot~1.htm
More historic pueblo pots.
Also has links to modern pueblo pottery
