the spirits: "Katchinas are benevolent anthropomorphic supernaturals vaguely considered ancestral and associated with clouds and rain. They very often personify the power in objects such as the sun, earth, corn, and so forth, and bring rain and well-being to the people. Although it is these supernaturals which are personified in the masked dances, the dancers also are referred to as katchinas." P. Schaafsma and C. F. Schaafsma, "Evidence for the Origins of the Pueblo Katchina Cult as Suggested by Southwestern Rock Art." American Antiquity, Vol. 39, No. 4. Oct., 1974. The Schaafsmas contend that, from rock art evidence, the katchina cult didn't appear among the Anasazi, the ancestors of Pueblo societies, until after 1300 C.E. (Also spelled kachina.)

science's taxonomy: "Archaeology is entirely contingent on the historical sequence of discoveries, and on numerous other factors that have nothing to do with objectivity, but are random forces producing a mythology of the human past. The divisions of the Upper Paleolithic are entirely based on perceived tool styles, they have no historical validity whatsoever, they are simply a fantasy of archaeologists. If discoveries had occurred in a different sequence, these divisions would be totally different today. One should not expect these entities to be scientific or objective or valid." R.G. Bednarik, "Boundaries" The Semiotic Review of Books, Vol. 10 No 1., 1999.
