Searching For Ancient Pottery Kilns

Salado pottery was the last and greatest form of "oxidized organic paint pottery" produced in the ancient Southwest. When it stopped being made around 1450 the technology for producing it was lost. Archaeologists have been able to identify which villages were producing this pottery but not how it was produced. To date no Salado kilns have ever been identified by archaeologists.

In this video I visit the ruins of a few of these Salado polychrome producing villages and a few other contemporary villages, to see if I can find evidence of how and where they were firing pottery. Come along as I explore the ancient Southwest in search of ancient Salado pottery kilns.
