Archivo:Mesa Verde Pueblo II corrugated jars.jpg

Resumen

Upper left—Used as a floor cist; southwesternmost room of the post and adobe village (pl. 20, No. 1).

Upper right—Used as a cist; north side of banquette of Kiva 2, of the post and adobe village (pl. 20, No. 4). Oval in cross section; estimated capacity of over five gallons.

Lower left—Used as a floor cist; Room 2, Unit Pueblo No. 1; mouth covered with a flat, sandstone slab. The surface of this vessel was wiped before dry, partially obliterating the corrugations and flattening the decorative, diagonal ridges.

Lower middle—Apparently used as a floor cist in a room of the post and adobe village (pl. 20, No. 3). Found in the southeast corner of Room 1, of Unit Pueblo No. I (pl. 19). However, the mouth of the vessel was below the floor level of Room 1 and flush with a hard-packed clay surface, undoubtedly the floor of a post room. The vessel walls are thin, the paste is very brittle and friable as the temper is coarse sand. A typical, early Pueblo II Corrugated jar as thin-walled vessels were seldom made later in the period after temper and paste improved.

Lower right—Apparently used as floor cist in a room of the post and adobe village (pl. 20, No. 2). Found under the northeast wall of Room 1, Unit Pueblo No. I (pl. 19). Badly shattered by the tap root of a tree which penetrated the masonry wall above it.
