N1 - Funding Information:
The Grewe Archaeological Research Project was directed by T. Kathleen Henderson and Douglas Craig at Northland Research, Inc., Tempe, AZ. It was funded by a contract with the Arizona Department of Transportation. Tina Love assisted in various aspects of the study, including the fabrication, firing, and analysis of the test tiles. Without her dedicated and meticulous work, this paper would not have been possible. The GARP ceramic analysis was completed with the assistance of Alexa Smith and Tina Love. C. Michael Barton and Brenda Shears at Arizona State University and Arthur Vokes and Michael Jacobs at the Arizona State Museum are gratefully acknowledged for their assistance with curated collections. Potters Matt Thomas and Tobias Manuel provided clay samples for analysis. Trinkle Jones and three anonymous reviewers provided several helpful comments on a previous draft. Christopher Watkins drafted the figures.

N2 - A distinctive red-on-buff pottery, found throughout central and southern Arizona, is a hallmark of prehistoric Hohokam culture. To manufacture it, Hohokam potters used a complicated recipe and controls for firing to chemically manipulate their clay and produce a light-colored fabric on which to paint their red designs. In this study, firing experiments and ceramic analysis are used in conjunction with excavation evidence to evaluate competing ideas about the buff ware manufacturing process, investigate where the pots were made, and model the developmental history of red-on-buff production.
