vessel showed a considerable variation in shade (from reddish orange 

 to yellow orange) we considered grouping all such colors under orange. 

 However, definite oranges are found on interiors and exteriors of 

 painted sherds and in several instances red was applied on orange 

 as an intentional color contrast. We finally decided to retain the 

 distinction of red, orange, and bufT, giving Munsell equivalents with 

 the realization that certain vessels show a considerable range in hue. 

 The only true reds are probably either the black on red type or those 

 instances where we have red on orange. Vessels showing a color 

 range, for example, are (pi. 71, a, c, d), which vary from dark tones, 

 Morocco Red (pi. 58) to Madder Brown (pi. 70), Brick Red (pi. 70), 

 Kaiser Brown (pi. 71), and Hay's Russet (pi. 71). The lighter tones 

 are more common. 



The oranges are Ferruginous (1 YR4.5/8), Vinaceous-Roufous 

 (10R4.5/9) (pi. 71), and Ochraceous Tawny (yellow orange) (pi. 72). 



The light bufTs are Cartridge BufT (pi. 87), Cream Buff (pi. 87), 

 and Light Buff (pi. 72).
