How was it made? With dirt, mud and some other crap. I promise, it isn't that compled and does not border on rocket science or even Greek Fire.
Just want to say that I love these posts. They are almost always very interesting and a welcome relief from the unending political polarization in our culture today.
Thank you!
Coal, you would think that there would be kiln sites
where clinker would be found. What kind of coal, that is
very important. Natural draft or forced?
What about indications of coal use for heating living spaces
etc?
Probably where Global warming started!
They had help from space aliens, just like the Egyptians did with the pyramids.
You're welcome.
I Got my Indian Tribes mixed up. The Zuni are Japanese descendants.
"From Publishers Weekly The peaceful Zuni of New Mexico and Arizona are much studied, partly because their language, culture and physical appearance set them apart from other Native American peoples. Davis, an anthropologist who has made 10 visits to the Zuni pueblo, now offers the startling thesis that a group of Japanese Buddhists left earthquake-wracked medieval Japan and came by ship to the Southern California coast, eventually migrating inland to the Zuni territory, where they merged their culture and genes with Native Americans to produce the modern Zuni people around A.D. 1350. Davis uses "forensic" evidence--including analyses of dental morphology, blood and skeletal remains--to support a Japanese-Zuni connection. Further, she notes the Zuni's exceptionally high incidence of a specific kidney disease that is also unusually common in Japan. Yet she acknowledges there have been no DNA studies to confirm or refute her hypothesis, and she has not turned up a single 13th-century Japanese item in North America. Her bold, highly speculative theory gets a boost from some cultural parallels, including striking similarities between the Zuni and Japanese languages; between the Zuni "sacred rosette" found on robes and pottery and the Japanese Buddhist chrysanthemum symbol (presently Japan's imperial crest). A Zuni mid-January ceremony with masked monsters, aimed at frightening children into proper behavior, is almost identical to one in Japan. Davis's broader thesis that the Pacific was a "liquid highway" mounts a serious challenge to the entrenched idea of the peopling of the Americas solely via the Bering Strait land bridge. Open-minded readers will enjoy her beautifully written book as an opportunity to ponder our shared humanity. "
Naw, just plain old ations.

The Hopi are NOT Japanese Descendants, but the close neighbors there, the Zuni are.
Areas of West Central New Mexico and East Central Arizona were habitated by the Japanese from about the 5th centuryAD until about the 12th century AD Ref: The Zuni Enigima
Maybe you just have to stick it in the kiln and Hopi and Prayee.
You're kiln me.
The Hopi kiln fields?
The Hopi fields of fire?
Hmmmm---given the laundry list of high-powered analytical instrumentation they are planning to use, one hopes that the curriculum also includes a bit of "analytical chemistry".
