General Information

Dinwiddie Polychrome was described by Gladwin and Gladwin (1930). Dinwiddie polychrome appears to have been first produced around 1300 C.E., and it lasted into the middle 1400s (Crown 1994; Lindauer 1994). Dinwiddie Polychrome is type of Roosevelt Red Ware limited in form to recurved bowls, often with smudged interiors.  This type is found in southeast Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, and may not occur west of Kinishba and the Nine Mile site, Arizona (Meghann M. Vance, 2023 - American Southwest Virtual Museum).
