Pinedale Black-on-red and Pinedale Polychrome were defined by Haury and Hargrave (1931). These types reflect technological and stylistic changes reflected by many of the White Mountain Red Ware forms produced during late thirteenth and early fourteenth century. The Pinedale Black-on-red and Polychrome types most commonly occur at sites in areas just below the Mogollon Rim in Arizona.
Examples assigned to this type exhibit light pastes, sherd temper, red or orange slips and decorative styles similar to those noted for the St Johns types. The most obvious difference between Pinedale Black-on-red and St Johns Black-on-red is the applications of decorations in black to brown glaze paint. Decorations on bowl interiors cover much of the interior surface beginning at the rim organized in either an all-over or banded design. These decorations are usually organized in interlocked solid and hatched units sometimes with white outlines. Design motifs include frets, parallel hatching and straight and squiggle lines. Exterior motifs consist of repeated isolated units. These motifs may be executed are either black or and white paint, as is the case for polychrome forms. In Pinedale Polychrome the white clay paint is used as a background for black motifs or occasionally black and white motifs that may alternate with each other.
