TYPE: Cedar Creek Glaze-on-Red

DATE: A.D. 1300 to 1375 (see comments)

BOWL DESIGN PLACEMENT: Primary interior designs, secondary exterior designs.

COMMON BACKGROUND COLOR: Orange, occasionally red.

COMMON DESIGNS: A transitional type between Pinedale style and Fourmile style, so the interiors and exteriors can be like Pinedale or Fourmile.  Often one surface of a bowl is painted in one style (Pinedale or Fourmile), and the opposite surface is painted in the other.  Bowl exteriors often have wide bands and/or continuous patterns.  Some Cedar Creek Glaze-on-Red bowls and jars will have Pinedale style patterns (including unit exterior bowl designs) with the only difference being that the framing lines in the design will usually be thicker or heavier than the hatching lines (Carlson 1970;63).  The black paint is often glazy, but occasionally is no. The glaze paint is usually well controlled and thin compared to the Zuni Ware type Heshota Glaze-on-Red.

KEY DIFFERENCES: Transitional between Pinedale and Fourmile.

COMMENTS: This type has not been formally described (new type). Dates are assumed to be the same as Cedar Creek Polychrome.

  

  

1N Cedar Creek Glaze-on-Red bowl.

The painted style of this bowl is transitional between Pinedale and Fourmile styles. The interior has

thin banding lines that frame the design much like Pinedale style, while the wide interior banding line just below the rim, and the exterior design are more like Fourmile Style.

 

2N Cedar Creek Glaze-on-Red Bowl

Although the exterior of this bowl is typical of Pinedale, the interior rim band is typical of Fourmile, and the framing lines being wider than the hatching lines is especially diagnostic for Cedar Creek.
