Salado Red is the only undecorated type of Roosevelt Red Ware. This type is found primarily in the Roosevelt Basin, Arizona (Meghann M. Vance 2023 - American Southwest Virtual Museum). It was first defined by Gladwin (1936) and refers to painted forms of Salado Red Ware. This type dates from AD 1250-1450 and is commonly found at sites in the Roosevelt Basin, Arizona. Temper includes fine volcanic and alluvial sand and occasional crushed sherd. Pastes are brown to red. Vessels were produced by the coil technique and fired in an oxidation atmosphere. Vessel forms include bowls, narrow jars, and pitchers. Exterior surfaces exhibit faint and highly obliterated corrugated impressions that are covered with a red slip, while bowl interiors tend to be smudged black.

Salado Red is the only undecorated type of Roosevelt Red Ware. This type is found primarily in the Roosevelt Basin, Arizona.

Archaeological Culture: Salado

Date Range: A.D. 1250-1450.

Construction: By coiling.

Firing: In an oxidizing atmosphere.

Core Color: Gray to black, tan to brick-red.

Temper: Diabase-rich sand, occasionally ground sherds.

Surface Finish: Smoothed, coils obliterated or unobliterated; bowl interiors smudged and polished; jar neck interiors smudged and polished.

Surface Color: Red (occasionally brown or black exteriors from fireclouds and over-firing).

Forms: Bowls, jars, mugs, effigies.

Decoration: No painted decoration. The “slip” is a hematite wash.

Oppelt (2007:33): "Salado Red, AD 1350-1400, is made by coiling and scraping and fired in an oxidizing atmosphere. Bowl and jar exteriors are corrugated with the corrugations always smoothed and sometimes obliterated. The surface color is a purplish or raspberry wash. The interiors of all vessels are smudged black and bowl interiors are polished. Salado Red is distributed mainly in the Roosevelt Basin of Arizona. ... There is a variant of this type with designs in white paint."

Date Range: A.D. 1250-1450.
Salado Red was defined by Gladwin (1936) and refers to painted forms of Salad Red Ware forms and appear to be common at sites in the Roosevelt Basin. Temper includes fine volcanic and alluvial sand and occasional crushed sherd. Pastes are brown to red. Vessels were produced by the coil technique and fired in an oxidation atmosphere. Pastes is brown to red. Vessel forms include bowls, narrow jars and pitchers. Exterior surfaces exhibit faint and highly obliterated corrugated impressions or distinct covered with a red slip.
