MesaVerdeBlackonWhite

TYPE: Mesa Verde Black-on-White

DATE: A.D. 1180 to 1300 (Oppelt, 2008;27)

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

COMMON DESIGNS: Mesa Verde Black-on-White designs usually consist of banded layouts, often with several thin concentric bands above and below a band of design along with rim decorations (usually ticking). There are also unbanded, all over designs, many of which resemble Reserve Black-on-White described in the Cibola Whiteware section of this guide.

KEY DIFFERENCES: Thicker, heavier vessels with most being decorated with vegetal paint instead of mineral paint like most vessels in earlier types. Many vessels have banded layouts with multiple thin concentric bands above and below the design, often with rim decoration (usually ticking) and often exterior bowl decoration. Most earlier types usually have only single banding or framing lines.

VARIETIES:

Organic Paint

Mineral Paint

White Slipped

Unslipped

COMMENTS: Most vessels are now decorated with vegetal paint, however some are decorated with mineral paint. Most vessels are slipped white, while some are not slipped.
