ARTICLES OF CLAY.
These consist of vessels of pottery, a few clay images, and two or three clay pipes. The pottery (with the exception of one or two pieces obtained from other pueblos) is all black ware, some of which is quite well polished. Some of the ollas are quite large, the form shown in [fig. 699] (46993), predominating; others with rather high neck which is marked with sharp, oblique ridges, as shown in [fig. 700] (47023).
| Fig. 699. ([46993]) | Fig. 700. ([47023]) |
POLISHED BLACK WARE.
428, ([46993]). Olla shown in [fig. 699]. The somewhat peculiar form of the body, the sharp curve at the shoulder and straight line in the lower half, is the point to which attention is more particularly called, as this appears to be the principal type form of these vessels, with this pueblo.
429, (46994). A jar-shaped olla.
430-433. 430, (46995); 431, ([47023]); [Fig. 700]. 432, (47024); 433, (47147). These are well shown in [fig. 700]. The oblique lines on the neck indicate sharp external ridges. The lip is also usually undulate or crenate. The size is from medium to large, varying in capacity from one to three or four gallons.
434, (46996). A large pitcher, lower part of the body much inflated, neck rather narrow and encircled by a sharp undulate ridge, handle and spout of the usual form; capacity about two gallons. Coarse brown micaceous ware blackened by fire.

BLACK OR BROWN WARE.
(Blackened by use on the fire; not polished.)
This ware, when first made and before use, varies in shade from dark earth color to reddish-brown, but the soot, smoke, and fire, when in use, soon darken it; hence it is usually described as black ware. The articles are used for cooking purposes, such as pots—which are usually pot-shaped—some without handles and some with a handle on one side, bowls, &c. The pots vary in capacity from a pint to a little over a gallon.

WHITENED WARE WITH COLORED DECORATIONS.
There are but few specimens of this ware, which are chiefly important from the fact that the material is of that firm, close, and superior quality that characterizes the ancient pottery of that region. The decorations and general appearance also ally it to the ancient ware.
