Petrographic analysis of 142 Bluff Black-on-red sherds and hand lens identification of 179 selected rock samples from the northern San Juan region were conducted to identify the loci of manufacture of this pottery type. Data indicate that Bluff Black-on-red was more widely produced than previously reported. Montezuma Creek and Utah West, in the Cottonwood Wash area, and sites along the San Juan River are probable production areas in Utah. In southwestern Colorado, Bluff Black-on-red was probably produced in the eastern drainages of the La Plata and Animas Rivers and was exported to the Mesa Verde area. McPhee Black-on-red, a sherd-tempered variety of Bluff Black-on-red, was produced at one or more sites in the western Montezuma Valley of southwestern Colorado. This research indicates that petrographic analysis of igneous rock temper was found to be a viable method of identifying some probable production loci of Bluff Black-on-red
