This is a fantastic authentic original circa 800-1100 A.D. Anasazi corrugated pottery cooking pot / olla remnant. The piece was recovered from bean fields leased by Robert Blackburn and family near Durango, Colorado, brother of one of the more noteworthy Ancestral Puebloans Pottery experts of the mid-20th Century. The piece was recovered as shards and put together in museum preservation fashion. The prehistoric pottery olla has a traditional wide-mouthed Mesa Verde pot with corrugated body having a nice large size. The inside shows indications and remnants of last meal and is missing major pieces on one side, both documented features of early authentic Anasazi pottery cooking pots. Provenance: The piece was recovered in bean fields leased by Robert Blackburn near Durango, Colorado, from the ex-collection of Robert Blackburn and family. The shards are held together with a strong water soluble glue which does not harm the pottery shards and can be washed away. Measures overall 10”H by 9”W. The piece is fragile due to being put together as shards.
