Pottery long-produced by Towa-speaking groups in the Jemez highlands include Vallecitos and Jemez Black-on-white and Corrugated and Plain Smudged utility ware. Such pottery may have been ultimately influenced by a variety of forms including those known to have been produced in the upper San Juan, Gallina, and eastern Rio Grande regions, and may provide clues concerning the nature of Towa origins.
