content: This specimen is listed in Fowler and Matley (1979) as part of a group of "Pitch-covered Water Jugs," bearing catalog numbers 10758, 10760, 11880, 11882 (Mason, 1904: 258-259 and pl. 32: nos. 1-3, 7). None of the items were found in the collection. A quoted description by Mason states: " "Major J.W. Powell.. in company with Prof. A.H. Thompson, made a collection of water-tight basket work from the Paiute Indians (Shoshonean family) in southern Utah.... Cat no. 11880 is an excellent specimen of twined work in twill....the rope handle gives the appearance of a pitcher." [Fowler and Matley (1979), pp. 20-21).

content: “Southern Paiute, Southern Utah” is a distinction observed by Fowler and Matley (1979) when specific band identification was not possible. “Southern Paiute. Southern Utah refers in general to the bands that Powell encountered in southern Utah and the Arizona Strip (that portion of present-day Arizona north of the Grand Canyon), i.e., the Kaibab, Uinkarets, Unkakaniguts and Shivwits.” [see: Fowler and Matley (1979), p. 5-6]
