Information Provided By Oppelt (2007: 52) - Prehistoric Southwest Pottery Types and Wares:

"The dull red-orange surface is polished over the paint. Most forms are bowls, jars are rare. The manganese paint is black to brown. Decorations are on bowl interiors only. It usually has a stripe just below the rim. There is a band around the interior wall. Motifs of the band often join the narrow or wide framing band. Framing band may have a broken lifeline. The band is composed of narrow diagonal or horizontal hachure, rectangular panel with series of wide staggered lines, small squares pendent from narrow lines, long solid triangles with hooks, and sometimes wide line cross hachure. This type is common in the Jeddito, Polacca, and Oraibi drainages; Little Colorado River near Winslow, Arizona; and Clear Creek, Navajo County, Arizona."

Period: 1200 A.D. - 1350 A.D.

Culture: Ancestral Pueblo: Southern Colorado Plateau (Anasazi)

Branch: Western Anasazi

Tradition: Tusayan (Kayenta)

Ware: Jeddito Yellow Ware

"Jeddito Black-on-orange was first described by Hargrave (1932) and Colton and Hargrave (1937). This type refers to a transitional type in Hopi sequence reflecting a mix of characteristics noted Tsegi Orange Ware and Jeddito Yellow Ware types. Vessels are very hard and durable and pastes tend to be vitrified, usually with a fine texture. Pastes cross sections vary from yellow, orange, to pink sometimes with a gray core. Surfaces are compact, hard and moderately to well polished, and covered with a orange to orange red slip, that may sometimes be gray or brown. Temper often consists of a fine quarts sand with small yellow, gray, black or red fragments and occasional large dull fragments. The great majority of forms are bowls and dippers with jars present but vey rare. Painted decorations are executed in a thinly applied black pigment that reflects the use of ground manganese. Designs may organized in bands framed by thick framing lines or bold allover quartered layouts (Smith 1971). Designs consist of intricate combinations of parallel lines, fine hachure that is often formed by connected triangles or lines, interlocking triangles, checkered squares, cross hachure, pendants, dots, triangles, triangles with attached interlocking scrolls and step triangles. Intricate combinations of painted designs often cover much of the decorated areas, with emphasis sometimes on the negative space created by combinations of closely spaced design elements."
