This cooking vessel is an example of Uinta Grayware pottery made and used by the Fremont communities who lived in the Uintah Basin and Tavaputs Plateau. This type of pot was used to cook stews and gruels over a fine hearth, so it had an important place in a family's home. This pot was damaged and patched with pine resin to extend its life.
Discovered during a survey of Nine Mile Canyon by the Colorado Plateau Archaeological Alliance. Located on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the pot was recovered in the Spring of 2013.
