The pattern is a common one on black- on-white vessels of the Pueblo III period in the San Juan and upper Little Colorado regions. The combination of hachure and solid elements shown by the decoration on g^ Plate 23, is another form characteristic of the Pueblo III period. It occurs in the Chaco Canyon, on the Mesa Verde, along the upper Little Colorado, and is found in the upper Gila and Rio Grande districts. The vessel here illustrated is very suggestive of some of the upper Gila styles. The design «, Figure 29, is one which is very common in the San Juan area. It is prominent on bowls from the Chaco Canyon, from Aztec, and even from as far north as the Mesa Verde. Many frag-. a b FiGDEE 29.—Bowl decorations from the pueblo ments from vessels bearing this type of ornamentation were found in the pueblo. Quite similar combinations of solid and hachure figures were found in the stone kivas at Hawikuh, about 25 miles ( k.) northeast of the Long H Ranch, although the latter, like many of those from the Long H ruin, have more the feeling of the upper Gila style than they do of the Chaco Canyon f orm.^^ The other design, Figure 29, Z>, was also fairly frequently used if the potsherds are any criterion. This form of decoration appears quite regularly on the black-on-white bowls in the San Juan wares and may be observed on vessels from the ruins of the upper Little Colorado, par- ticularly the district east of Zuiii in western New Mexico. Bowls of the black-on-red group generally bore decorations of the contrasting solid and hachure elements. This feature is rather char- acteristic of the pottery of this group in the early Pueblo III period. No whole specimen was obtained, however, and a complete design "Hodge, F. W., 1923, pi.
