DescriptionA ceramic corrugated bowl with a dark brown color on the outside and a black interior. The bowl has a noticeable crack on one side of it, so much so a small piece has been completely chipped off. According to the NAGPRA report, its geographic location is the White Mountains. It also says that the bowl was used in the 1200s, but the archaeologist notebook asserts its date of use was between 1100-1300 AD, so the notebook has a larger frame of time for this bowl and expands on the context. The NAGPRA report does not list the bowl's associated culture or cultural affiliation, but the archaeologist notebook lists this as Tularosa pottery, but with the unique corrugated style which gives the bowl's outside a marked appearance.
