In the remarks on the type the writers err, however. They state, ibid., p. 193 : "The only way this red color could be produced on vessels fired in a reducing atmosphere would be by painting the vessel after firing since the paint Avould turn gray if fired. This theory is opposed to that offered by Roberts (1929, p. 9, 10)." In describing this type in 1929, the writer stated : "Another characteristic feature of the surface treat- ment was the application of a red wash ("fugitive red" as it is known to the archeologists of the Southwest) to the exterior of vessels. Because it was not fired into the surface and made permanent it is not apparent, or else is very indistinct, on many of the frag- ments ; (Roberts, 1929, p. 110, not p. 10, as given by Colton and Hargrave.) What obviously happened is that the latter confused two types—one, the vessels with an Jrange-red to red tone, as described in preceding pages in this report and also on pages 109-110 in the 1929 paper, that resulted from overfiring, and two, those that were treated with a red Avash after firing.
