is of unusual interest. It is made of the handle and part of the body 

 of a small black-on-red pitcher (fig. 22). The handle is decorated in 

 imitation of an animal. Two small projections at the rim, each tipped

 made locally in imitation of trade pieces or possibly even made by

 sherds leads to a conviction that such, was the case for there are some 

 specimens identical in every respect with vessels of similar style found 

 on the Gila, while others show local sherd-tempered paste and local 

 treatment of the designs. 



The fragments fall into two groups: (a) those of bowls with 

 black-on-white interior decoration and plain red or brown exteriors, 

 and (b) fragments of bowls with black interior designs on red. The 

 former type is well known and was found to be a comparatively late 

 arrival at Casa Grande by Mr. H. S. Gladwin.^
