Jeddito Wares Kokop Black on Orange

TYPE: Kokop Black-on-Orange

DATE: A.D. 1250 to 1300 (Oppelt, 2008;22)

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

COMMON DESIGNS: Designs are often Pinedale in style (see Pinedale Black-on-Red in the White Mountain Redware section of this guide) but can be much simpler. Exterior designs are usually simple paired or tripled diagonal short lines.

TEMPER: Many painted Jeddito Wares appear not to have any temper added, even under high magnification. Wade and McChesney state: "However, ethnographic accounts of ancient manufacturing techniques collected by Thomas Keam in the 1880s and 1890s suggest that Sikyatki and San Bernardo Polychromes may, in fact, be tempered (Stephen n.d., quoted in Wade and McChesney 1980, pg 96). Nineteeth-century informants indicated that potters low-fired plaques of white clay, then ground them to the consistency of flour. This was added to the unfired white clay paste used to form a vessel. Temper this fine would be hard to detect visually, would produce a stronger pot through its high-quality distribution within the vessel, and would still allow for a smoother polishing and painting surface than either conventional sand or sherd tempering." (Wade and McChesney, 1981;20). Occasionally some painted Jeddito Wares may have large rounded quartz grains visible on the surface and throughout the paste, the same can be said for large red angular fragments, although vessels that show visible temper are somewhat rare.

KEY DIFFERENCES: Thin red to orange slip over Jeddito (usually yellow) paste. Slip can look rusty in color.

SLIP OR SURFACE TREATMENT: Thin red to orange slip.

TEMPER: Can be very fine sand or visible quartz pieces.
