DescriptionA ceramic hanging jar with a base beige color, but has a rich design pattern of red, black, and brown shapes and lines. The NAGPRA report lacks key information for this artifact, like its geographic location, date, culture, and cultural association. However, the archaeologist notebook lists the period of use as 1000-1300 AD. Furthermore, the only bit of cultural information comes from the same notebook, which lists this as Casas Grandes. This could also refer to a geographical location.
