content: Two sherds of Pueblo pottery, likely McElmo Black-on-White or Mesa Verde Black-on-White. The larger fragment is 8 cm by 7 cm and the smaller fragment is 8.5 cm by 4.5 cm. The larger fragment has a bluish gray slip on both interior and exterior but is only painted on the interior. The designs include parallel black bands at the rim, a notched vertical line and two partial boxes with what appear to be triangular designs inside. The smaller fragment has a whitish slip and unpolished interior. The exterior is painted with black bordered designs, including a circular shape with notches (resembling a gear) and a rectangular geometric shape with triangular points.
