Native American, found on private land in Apache County, Arizona, Northern Mogollon, Ancestral Puebloan / Anasazi culture, ca. 1150 to 1325 CE. A charming example of a black-on-white ceramic Anasazi seed jar with a sun-like flare around its small, round mouth, and a geometric spiral/zig-zag motif around its body. Four holes are drilled through the rim, probably used for hanging this bowl for storage. Size: 5" W x 3" H (12.7 cm x 7.6 cm)
Many groups of indigenous peoples occupied the Tularosa region before the Apache drove them out in the 1800s. While some settled elsewhere; some groups completely disbanded. The Tularosa Basin in New Mexico was a rich source of Paleo Native American sites. Very little was known about the life of the Tularosa Basin; however, scholars have determined that the Anasazi and Mogollon peoples resided in the Tularosa Basin. The Anasazi culture existed from approximately 200 to 1300 CE, and their movement from the Tularosa Basin to the pueblos of the southwest has been identified. Tularosa is a village in Otero, New Mexico that shares its name with the Tularosa Basin where the town is located.
