* As the result of recent excavations, Dinetah Gray (A.D. 1550-1800) and Gobernador Polychrome (A.D. 1640-1765 or 1775) are known to have been produced substantially earlier in the Dinetah area of the northern San Juan Basin (see Dykeman et al 2003). This probably does not affect the date range of Dinetah in Chaco.

1Although identified as buff ware, these may be sherds from the undecorated portions of a polychrome vessel.
2Date range of Zuni polychrome series.
