The little Pinedale Jar continues to grow.  Filling in the missing pieces with plaster.  Adding the structural pieces first and removing the wooden bracing along the way and continuing around the jar.  A bit of color is added just to tone down the bright white plaster surface. 


By way of introduction; my name is Jim Cunkle. I have studied the pottery types from the Southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico for several decades and I have authored several books on the subject including; Talking Pots, Treasures of Time, Stone Magic of the Ancients, Mimbres Mythology and several others. I hope you find the videos informative. I will be presenting several different pottery types that were produced in the prehistoric Southwest, showing how they are connected in time and place. There will be discussions showing several pottery forms and styles with a special focus on the icons and symbols painted on the vessels and the stories these symbols tell.
