“McCutcheon pot” found in a rockshelter 10 miles north of Fort Davis in the early 1930s. This unusual vessel combines traits of several different La Junta ceramic types, including an unobliterated rim coil like Chinati Filleted Rim, heavily wiped or brushed surfaces like Chinati Scored, and a stuccoed lower body like Capote Plain. The La Junta ceramic tradition began as the El Paso Brownware tradition came to an end around A.D. 1450, and continued until the establishment of a presidio in the district in 1760. TARL Archives.
