content: Described as "Small grayware olla" and illustrated in Fowler and Matley (1979) (Figure 45c) with the following remarks: "Of type known archeologically in the southern Great Basin as North Creek Gray (Colton: 1952:5) .... Provenience: Moapa Southern Paiute. ... The vessel is apparently an archeological specimen which the Paiutes had found or dug up and then added the red pigment decoration and plug. North Creek Gray is a pottery ware commonly found in Pueblo II-III archeological sites in Moapa Southern Paiute territory and adjacent areas (Colton, 1952:5). Steward reports that the Antarianunts Southern Paiute in the Henry Mountains area of Utah used, "pots found in caves and old stone houses... for carrying water and for cooking.' Apparently the reference here is to Fremont sites in the area (Morss, 1931; Gunnerson, 1969). Some instances of the co-occurrence of 'Shoshonean' and Puebloan pottery in Great Basin archeological sites may be due to this type of re-use by Numic peoples."
