COMMENTS: DiPeso first gave the name "Gila White-on-Red" when describing a sherd found with many Gila Polychrome sherds at the Reeve Ruin (DiPeso, 1958;101). The sherd was a Salado Ware, coil and scraped, and decorated in a Gila Polychrome style. The name "Gila White-on-Red" has also been used to describe Hohokam Gila Red with white painted designs (Wood, 1987;42 , Nuezil & Lyons,2005;32). As far as I know, DiPeso was the first to put into print and describe Gila White-on-Red. Because he was first, Gila White-on-Red should be used to refer to the Salado type he described. The type I am describing here should be named Hohokam White-on-Gila Red or Hohokam White-on-Red "for short".
