For your consideration is this Rare Original Intact Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) Corrugated Pottery Small Mouth Seed Pot Jar, circa 1100 CE. This prehistoric hand-made jar was created by rhythmically pinching coils of clay, "coil and scrape", as they were applied to the vessel. Corrugated pottery is a unique utility ware made by leaving construction coils unobliterated, and manipulating these exposed coils to produce a rough exterior surface. Ancestral Puebloan populations in the American Southwest made this pottery in various forms between AD 650 and 1450. By the late 8th century, potters began to leave unobliterated coil junctures on the exteriors of the vessel necks, creating a neckbanded appearance. In the early 10th century, some neckbands were rhythmically indented, creating a corrugated appearance. At first these surface treatments were confined to the neck region of the vessel, but by the late 10th century entire cooking jar exteriors were covered with corrugations. Corrugation became the norm for most Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi ) pottery jars from this time through the 13th century abandonment of the Four Corners area. This Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) Seed pot jar is in amazingly good condition, no cracks visible from interior or exterior, no repairs noted. Very slight edge scrape on rim, lip is intact. Colouration follows the coils from dark at the rim to lighter at the base. Measures 4"H x 5"W x 4"B, mouth 1.5"W
