saladotucsonpolychrome

TYPE: Tucson Polychrome

DATE: A.D. 1275 to 1450 (Neuzil & Lyons 2005;37)

COMMON FORMS: Bowls, jars, pitchers.

COMMON BACKGROUND COLORS: Red.

BOWL DESIGN PLACEMENT: Usually exteriors.

COMMON DESIGNS: Often designs are made up of thick solid black lines with thin white outlining. Occasionally there may be negative triangles, squares, rectangles, or diamonds that may have white dots painted in them. Rarely white dots may be painted directly on black painted areas or bands.

KEY DIFFERENCES: No white slipped portions as seen in Tonto Polychrome. Usually no interior bowl designs as seen in Anasazi, Kiet Siel Polychrome, and Salado, Maverick Mountain Polychrome. Tucson Polychrome designs usually have no hatching as seen in Kiet Siel and Maverick Mountain Types.

COMMENTS: Tucson Polychrome and Maverick Mountain Polychrome appear to be the same type of pottery with a design difference and later ending date for Tucson Polychrome. See article: "TUCSON POLYCHROME" Made by Hohokam or Salado?

It is a shame that this vessel wasn't excavated and preserved a century earlier, the design has been lost forever, eroded away from being buried in the ground too long.
