KanaABlackonWhite

TYPE: Kana-a Black-on-White

DATE: A.D. 725 to 1000 (Hays-Gilpin & Hartesveldt, 1998;111)

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

COMMON DESIGNS: Designs are the same as Kiatuthlanna Black-on-White in the Cibola Whiteware Section of this guide.

KEY DIFFERENCES: Kana-a Black-on-White is polished and may or may not have a slip, no rough temper protruding thru surface. All Tusayan Whiteware types have a vegetal paint (vegetal paint often looks soft or watery so the edges are not as sharp as mineral paint) and are supposed to have light paste. All Little Colorado Whiteware types have vegetal paint and are supposed to have a dark paste. Mesa Verde Whiteware types may have mineral or vegetal paint. See article titled General Pottery Descriptions.

VARIETIES: Kana-a Fugitive Polychrome: Some rare examples of Kana-A Black-on-White have a fugitive red paint or "all-over wash" applied to the exteriors of bowls after they were fired.
