Rare example of Rockport Polychrome pottery from the Kirchmeyer site (41NU11). The lower portion of this small jar is covered with asphaltum paint as is the fine solid line accentuating the lip. Although not discernible in the photograph, just below the asphaltum-painted rim is a band of “fugitive red,” probably traces of a thin ochre pigment paint. This decorative technique may have been inspired by Huasteca pottery along the Gulf coast of southern Tamuliapas, Mexico. Photo from TARL Archives, drawing adapted from Calhoun 1964.
