456 BTHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [eth. ann. 29 



greater or less decoration of pottery in tlie Southwest is owing to local condi- 

 tions. But the introduction of a new material for decorative purposes is another 

 thing. It may have taken place at the Rito de los Frijoles [28:6]; but ruins 

 north of that place (for instance, the Pu-ye [14:46]) also exhibit it. It is a 

 chronological as well as an ethnological indication, pointing to a discovery 

 made at a certain time, possibly by one tribe and communicated by it to its 

 neighbors, until it gradually became the property of several. It would be very 

 interesting, therefore, to discover what this coarse glaze was made of. I have 

 diligently inquired of the Indians, but without success. . . . If it was based 

 upon the use of some special mineral ingredient, we might ultimately discover 

 where that ingredient came from, and whether the invention was made at some 

 particular jjlace or was evolved simultaneously among different tribes. But the 

 glazed pottery shows rather decadence than improvement; it is coarser in tex- 

 ture, and although the patterns of the designs are nearly the same as those of 

 older varieties, the glossy covering is thick and coarse. '
