Note: All prehistoric items have come from "old timer", largely inherited private collections, collected prior to 1970. AAIA, llc always has the collections owners sign a release stating and affirming that have not been taken illegally from Federal lands, public lands, state lands or Indian lands in violation of the Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 and further that they had legal title to such items so that they could be purchased by AAIA, llc.

Gila Polychrome was between A.D. 1300 and the 1400s. Typically these wares had a similar color scheme to the Pinto polychromes, but had complex, asymmetrical designs. The designs were made with scalloped edges and a negative diamond “eye” on triangles, scrolls, keys, mazes, and hatches (Houk 1992). The Gila wares were typically fashioned into bowls, jars, and sometimes effigy vessels. Gila bowls tend to have a lifeline, or a broad band of paint around the rim (Houk 1992; Simon 1996). Gila Polychrome had the widest-range of all pottery types in the southwest. Many of these vessels were made locally, and not necessarily made and then traded by the Salado people.
