- St Johns Black-on-red Jar
Cultural Period: Ancestral Puebloan, Atsinna Pueblo (A.D. 1275 – mid-1300s) Description: This pot is described in the artifact catalog as a St Johns Black-on-red with an out-turned rim; decorated with wide band and dots on the interior; rim edge painted; and body decorated in the St Johns – Tularosa style with the base undecorated. According to the catalog, the paint is sub-glaze in places, indicating a relatively late St Johns. According to Barbara Mills, Professor and Chair of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, you see the same design on Reserve/Tularosa Black-on-white and you get it over a wide area in the thirteenth century, almost to the Rio Grande, especially south of Acoma, to Socorro, and west to the White Mountains. Even in the upper San Francisco River area, you will find this design. Dimensions: H 12.3, DIAM 15.0 CM. Provenience: LA 99 (Atsinna Pueblo), ROOM 12, FLOOR. Collection: National Park Service, El Morro. - St Johns Black-on-red Jar, Alternate View

Cultural Period: Ancestral Puebloan (A.D. 1050 – 1225) Description: Bowl described as White Mound Black-on-white in the artifact catalog. Barbara Mills, Professor and Chair of Anthropology at the University of Arizona , identified this bowl as Puerco Black-on-white. White Mound Black-on-white dates substantially earlier than Puerco Black-on-white. Given that the bowl was found cached with other ceramics dating to the same period as Puerco Black-on-white, the second classification is likely the more accurate. White Mound Black-on-white is also quite rare in the El Morro region, and the banded motifs on this bowl are more consistent with Puerco Black-on-white. Provenience: Found in a cache within El Morro National Monument along with ELMO-200, ELMO-202, and ELMO-203. Collection: National Park Service, El Morro. - Puerco Black-on-white Bowl

Cultural Period: Historic, Native American Description: Restored Ashiwi Polychrome bowl (catalog description). Barbara Mills, Professor and Chair of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, says this bowl has a Zuni feather design on the exterior – perhaps early twenthieth century. Commenting on the catalog provenience of Kawkina, she says the feathers are wrong, and that this is probably a recent replica effort. Red paint is usually earlier, but the design is wrong. Deborah Huntley, of the Center for Desert Archaeology, identified this bowl as historic Zuni. Provenience: Kwakina (presumably); see Barbara Mills’ comment above.
