How Was Ancient Salado Pottery Fired? Firing and Looking for Clues Near Ruins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- I fire two Salado Polychrome replica jars then I go looking for the remains of ancient pottery firings in an area where Salado pottery was made in the 1300s. Learn what to look for and how I think pottery may have been fired in Arizona 700 years ago.

Sir make a full description video on pottery paints
Ok soon
MAGNIFICENT !!! THANK YOU ...
Again & Again Andy, You’ve made another great video , I enjoy that you have excelled at recreating ancient pottery & mixed it with southwest archaeology , you are a true Teacher, thank you for taking unselfish time to explain it all ! Thanks for your time & efforts ! and Great Polychrome Jars !
Thanks
Beautiful pots....great video....
Thank you so much 🙂
What beautiful pots!!!
Yes, thanks
I really enjoyed this I have always been interested in Mimbres pottery, The design not the manufacturing process, Had never heard of Solano and watched another of your Videos, Just really good, thank you from an old guy still learning.
Loving this in depth look at experimental archeology. I myself enjoy trying to recreate past methods. Though if you'd be willing, I'd love to see a more detailed guide into you're methods of making polychrome paints. Great work and cheers!
Will do! Thanks.
Oh cool you used the photos from ur trip to Hopi..saw me on the firing mound 👌
Yes, I did. Thanks for taking me out there Bobby.
Just thought I let you know how I do my rattles. I always have dried beads and that's how put them in. So far it has worked for me.
Awesome thanks for sharing that
It stands to reason to me that they would be taking the pots to fire down by the river. Flash floods tend to wash down a fair amount of fuel, which then ends up stranded on sandbars as the water drops. Once the wood dries, that's a great source for wood that doesn't need a lot of chasing down. It even leaves you with a nice area that is free of other organics (grass, etc.) that could be a fire hazard, and you may even have some water still available in the river or wash to rinse the remaining ash off your pots. Another great video, Andy!
Good point, I often fire in creek beds myself.
Would there be a problem with leaving pots in the fire all night to cool slowly and avoid thermal shock? Would this make them blacken? Or would it maybe burn away organic paint?
That should not be a problem. I just rush them out because I have things to do and places to go.
i was wondering if you could do a video to explain the difference between bisk and if this is what is happening to store bought clays you fire? is it really ceramic now? or is it really bisk with your wood burning? thanks for your consideration in helping me understand that.
Yes, it is like a bisque firing and it really is ceramic.
great info once again.
Thanks again!
Did any native Americans use salt glazing? Have you experimented with it? Michael
Not that I am aware. Salt glazing requires a temperature of around 1300 C which is WAY higher than you can achieve without a proper kiln.
Greetings from Philippines Im a new potter
My problem is my pot is cracking whe i fired it
What to do about it does types of clay matter Im using my own process clay or does drying matter?
Try adding more temper to your clay body. Your problem is probably not moisture, if it were it would explode in the fire and not just crack.
Ok thanks bro I will try to add sand becoz im using only pure clay
