Apache sherds, residue (Other Keyword)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings.

Residue scraped from two Apache ceramic sherds recovered from Globe, Arizona was submitted for microscopic analysis to identify the burned residue. Pine pitch was thought to be the most likely residue on the sherds. These sherds were recovered from a place called "wheat fields" because Apaches grew wheat for their own use in a creek that runs near Globe.
