Hohokam Red-on-Buff pottery is a hallmark of the ancient Hohokam culture of central and southern Arizona, produced from approximately 450 to 1400 AD. The "San Carlos" classification is a specific type or collection often dated to the Classic Period (A.D. 1275-1400).
This pottery is known for its light-colored paste, which can range from white, tan, to yellow-white, covered with a distinct bright or dull red iron-oxide mineral paint design. The designs typically feature bold line work, geometric patterns, intricate hatching, and repeated life forms such as birds and human figures, often laid out in banded or panel designs within the bowl. A key characteristic is the use of the paddle-and-anvil technique for construction, leaving muscovite mica flecks visible on the surface.
