RUDE POTTERY WITHOUT DECORATIONS. 



This class, the most primitive of the ancient pottery, occupies three cases in the 

 northern part of the room, and is divided into smooth and wrinkled pottery. This 

 rude pottery, which is in some cases decorated, is common in ruins near Wal-pi and 

 Ream s Canyon. * It comprises, in general, vases, bowls, and large jars for cooking. 

 They are usually of ctfarse clay. 



The potter s wheel was not known, and the potters polished the outside of the 

 ware with a stone, a piece of another jar, or with a stick. 



The larger vases serve indiscriminately for cooking and for storage. The former 

 are more or less blackened by fire. Those used as depositories were buried in the 

 ground here and there, the Indians filling them with water or provisions when they 

 went on any expedition, in order to find it fresh on their return.
