It is often difficult to make a determination of origin of Laguna Pueblo pottery because it is so closely similar to that from Acoma, for good reason.  Laguna is, relatively speaking, a recent pueblo, having been established in 1699, although Laguna people say that the pueblo was previously occupied as early as circa 1400, however, the current villages date to 1699.  Residents of Acoma, Zia, Zuni and other pueblos jointly settled the new pueblo.  Because of its close proximity to Acoma, the pottery from Laguna resembles that of its neighbor.  The same clay, same temper, and similar designs predominate between the two pueblos.
