Anasazi Tularosa black and white pottery. Tularosa Black-on-white was defined by Gladwin and Gladwin (1931). 5"D x 4 1/2"H. This type is similar to Reserve Black-on-white, but exhibits later painted styles and manipulations (Hays-Gilipin 1998; McGimsey 1980; Nesbittt 1938; Rinaldo and Bluhm 1956; Wilson 1999). Surfaces tend to be slipped, well-polished, and lustrous. Tularosa Black-on-white appears to have been produced from about 1150 to 1300 and is commonly associated with large late villages in the Southern Cibola Anasazi and Northern Mogollon regions. Pottery assigned to Tularosa Black-on-white tends to be very distinct from types produced in other Southwest regions. Design motifs consist of combinations of curvilinear and rectilinear opposed hatched and solid bands. As compared to earlier Reserve Black-on-white, designs elements tend to be small and precisely executed. Elements are often tightly packed and busy with much less negative space than earlier types. Elements include pendants, triangles step triangles and barbed lines.
