Summary[edit]

Description
English: Anasazi mugs.
Original caption: "
Prehistoric mugs with handles are found only in the immediate area of the Four Corners, especially in Southwest Colorado.

The mugs are almost always black-on-white, and date between AD 1000 and 1280.

Note the T-shaped cut-out designs on the left two mugs' handles. Ancestral Puebloan doorways often have this same shape, but its meaning is unknown.

Some mugs have false bottoms with clay beads inside-- perhaps these noisemakers called attention to an empty mug during feasts.
