ARTICLES OF CLAY.
Articles of clay from this pueblo, which are but few in number, are
either of polished black ware or unpolished of the natural _tierra
amarilla_ or yellow earth, color, but more or less blackened by use.

pottery from Santa Clara. The pitchers, cups, and basins are evidently
modeled after introduced patterns from civilized nations. All are
without ornamentation.

blackened.
