Note 27 — ANTIQUITIES OF THE MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK (continued 2)

Of 40 pieces of pottery called “Tusayan,” figured in Professor Holmes’ Pottery of the Pueblo Area (Second Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology), all but three or possibly four came from Chelly canyon and belong to the San Juan rather than to the Hopi ware. Black-and-white pottery is very rare in collections of old Hopi ware, but is most abundant in the cliff-houses of Chelly canyon and the Mesa Verde ruins.
