Sanostee Black-on-red was defined by Wilson and Peckham (1964). This type exhibits characteristics similar to those described for early San Juan red ware types such Abajo Red-on-orange and Bluff Black-on-red but is tempered with trachyte (Windes 1977). Designs include bold geometric patterns and medium to wide lines. This type is appears to mainly occur in assemblages dating to the ninth century
