Object ID: 1982.02.09
Ancestral Pueblo people living near Chaco Canyon influenced their Mogollon neighbors to the south. Tularosa Black-on-White, a Chacoan pottery type is commonly found at Mogollon sites in southern New Mexico, exemplifying the relationship between these two groups of people. Why might Mogollon people have traded for this Chacoan pottery rather than making their own? Also, note that half of the paint is red because the kiln didn’t get hot enough for it to turn black.
