TYPE: Tanque Verde Black-on-White

DATE: AD 1125 – 1450 (Wallace 1995;465) (see comments)

COMMON FORMS: Same as Tanque Verde Red-on-Brown.

COMMON BACKGROUND COLORS: Primary design background white (slipped), secondary design backround color can be brown (natural), white (slipped), or black (smudged). Brown can be light Tan to Brown to Orange. White can be Buff to White. Black can be light Gray to Black often with “patches” of Brown.

COMMON EXTERIOR TREATMENT: Polished

COMMON DESIGN PLACEMENT: Same as Tanque Verde Red-on-Brown

COMMON DESIGNS: Same as Tanque Verde Red-on-Brown.

KEY DIFFERENCE(S): Large deep bowls with indented bottoms and primary designs on the exteriors. No “helmet” bowls. No exterior “trailing lines”. Jars with straight necks often with designs on the necks, and classic shoulders. Designs still begin at the shoulder, but the shoulder is lower on the jar, well below maximum diameter. Tanque Verde jars are approximately as tall as they are wide unlike the preceding type Rincon, which are usually wider than they are tall. Interestingly, the possibly succeeding Pima and Papago jars tend to be taller than they are wide.
