culture and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni
Reservation, New Mexico. Zuni oral
history tells of ancestral migrations and
settling throughout this region in their
search for the Middle Place of the World
(present day Pueblo of Zuni). Zuni
ancestors left many markers of their
passing including trails, habitation sites,
campsites, and burials. Elders have
identified features in the area, including
shrines and petroglyphs, as Zuni.
A relationship of shared group
identity may also be reasonably be
traced between members of the Patayan
culture and the Quechan tribe of the
Fort Yuma Indian Reservation,
California & Arizona. The Colorado Red
bowl is associated with the
archeological culture identified as
Patayan, which the Quechan believe
were their ancestors.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1989, human remains representing,

ADDRESSES:
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1972, three cultural items were
removed from the Cryer Field site
(3LA35) in Lafayette County, AR. The 3
unassociated funerary objects are one
Handy Engraved bottle, one Washington
Stamped jar, and one Pease BrushedIncised jar (Cat. 72–406–68–1, 2, 3).
The pottery types are well-known
examples of Caddo tradition wares. All
are contemporaneous, ranging from A.D.
1300 to 1500, and are attributed to the
Haley Phase of the Middle Caddo
period. These pottery types are found
throughout Southwest Arkansas, and
into adjoining corners of Texas,
Louisiana, and Oklahoma. All three
cultural items were made before
European contact and during the Caddo
tradition.
The Caddo archeological tradition
developed between A.D. 900 and 1000
in the four corners region of Arkansas,
Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Distinctive characteristics include a
dispersed residential settlement of
families with a lifestyle grounded in
farming and collecting wild plants and
animals. The core of community life
was a religious and political center with
ceremonial and burial mounds, public
areas for community events and rituals,
and a small residential population
