Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit June 3-5, 2015 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo, Review 2”): The jar is light for its size. There are water marks on the jar so it is possible this was used as a water jar. Brian Vallo noted that at a site called Moss Ruins you can find pottery sherds similar to this style of jar.
