Comments
This bowl has almost vertical sides. The color and paste are within the characteristic attributes of the Sierra Red type, Gadrooned variety. The decoration consists of shallow grooves, measuring 1 cm in width, carved into the exterior. The grooves are not as deep as those of other Sierra Red types, possibly due to erosional processes. The diameter of the incurved base is 23.5 cm. The bowl was deposited as a cache within the subfloor of Zone 16 and contained one piece of chert debitage.
