1	1970.9.38	Pot	On the surface is a geometric pattern in the colors of brown and black on a base of white and the rim of the pot is lined in black. This pot is rounded at the base with a fracture.
2	1970.9.40	Pot	As derived from Albertin Collection inventory documents: "Nasca open vessel, 5" diameter at top, 4.1" high, polychrome ware, black brown, and white." Alternate description: Open. Polychrome ware—black, brown, white. Interior brown. Has round base 3 1/4" diameter by 1 1 /4" high; hollow. Brown triangles at oval base. Bowl has 4 brown crosshatch design rectangles. Five brown bands around top. Color: BK,WH,BR -Pedestal-style bowl; color design is weathering throughout, can be seen especially along upper third of bowl. -Light scorch mark on underside of bowl—could be from firing, potential utilitarian or ritual use. -Significant fractures are signs of past breaking; repaired with visible adhesive; missing fragment of bowl along rim.
3	1970.9.41	Pot	As derived from Albertin Collection inventory documents: "Nasca open vessel, 5" diameter at top, 5.9" high, red, black, and white pattern design in a band." Alternate description: Open. Polychrome ware in red, black, and white band around middle of side. Two brown bands along top and bottom of design, 2 larger red rectangles on one side have a star in center. 2 red rectangles on other side do not. Color: RD,BK,WH -Weathering apparent, mild deterioration of surface primarily on underside, lower half on one side; has dark mark on part of interior, likely scorch mark from firing method. -Has a crack in top-third of pot; has been broken at some point, mended with unseen adhesive. -Possesses evident hole (potentially resulted in break), most likely caused by probe striking pot while buried; possibly a burial offering.
4	1970.9.46	Pot	Small open vessel. Bird design on outside near rim in gray, black, and white patterns. Red band around outside rim with bird track designs. Inside is brown. Color: GY,WH,BK
5	1970.9.48	Pot	As derived from Albertin Collection inventory documents: "Nasca open vessel. 4.8" diameter at top, 7.7" high. Polychrome ware, external design in white, gray, yellow, black, and red." Alternate description: Open top, beaker. Polychrome ware. External design in white, gray, yellow, black, and red. Color: WH,GY,YL,BK,RD -Weathering evident—appears to have signs salt development, indicates possible utilitarian use as a food/water storage vessel placed in ground. -Bottom of beaker rounded; mostly smooth save for central part of base. -Interior has mix of light brown and dark patches—light patches appear to be dried earth; dark patches possibly from firing method or paint. -Designs repetitive, both geometric forms and bird-like heads; fading due to weathering, salt development. -Around upper quarter of beaker, majority of eyes of "bird heads" are closed, one with eye open—appears black, almost purple in color.
6	1970.9.50	Pot	As derived from Albertin Collection inventory documents: "Nasca vessel with constricted top. 2.7" wide at top, 7" greatest width, height 5.2". External designs in white and black, star-shaped." Alternate description: Constricted top. External designs in white and black, star shaped. Color: WH,BK -Small storage bag inside vessel, contains label. -Vessel varies in wear, minimal to severe—fragment of rim missing; small area of vessel's exterior appears chipped away, has removed small portion of design to show clay just under surface. -Rounded bottom, appears to have been stuck to something or is flaking—could potentially be part of original/different design? -Uneven dark markings across surface, differ in shade from star-shape design—most likely scorch marks from method of firing.
7	1970.9.51	Pot	Description from Albertin Collection inventory document: Nasca vessel with constricted top. Pitcher with human(owl) face. 3.1” diameter at top, 5.5” greatest width, 5.5” high. External design black, brown, and white. Other description: Constricted top. Pitcher with human face on one side and handle on the other. Brown band below face with reddish brown triangles with point toward bottom. Bottom light brown. Light brown hand below triangles. Handle has brown horizontal stripes. Color: BK,BR,WH -Score marks present on base, most likely made post-antiquity -General wear, staining and chipping present -Style may suggest this piece dating to the Middle Horizon period. Primary indicators for dating in the composition include the globular shape, inclusion of a handle, a rounded bottom, and the face design on the neck. -The use of polychromatic design is a characteristic most typical in Nazca ceramics
8	1970.9.52	Pot	Constricted top. Pitcher with human face on one side and handle on the other. External designs in red, brown, and tan. Brown band around center with design above and brown below. Red color on neck.
9	1970.9.54	Pot	Constricted top. External design depicts frogs suggesting Middle Horizon
10	1970.9.55	Pot	Constricted top. Cooking ware, for water. Three finger loops on outside extending 1" beyond pot. Five raised bars with cross-cut design around top. One handle has same design, broken off another third handle plain.
11	1970.9.57	Pot	Description from Albertin Collection inventory document: Nasca vessel with constricted top. 3.5” top diameter, maximum width 8”, 7” high. 3 finger loops. Obviously used for cooking. No designs. {This description does not match the object} Other Descriptions: Constricted top. Egg-shaped vessel, obviously used for water. Neck flares to 3 1/2" diameter, has brown triangles around inside rim. Faded external red, black, brown polychrome. Red band bordered by brown band on each side around top near neck. Color: BR,RD -Lack of design suggests its strictly utilitarian use, as well as the presence of general wear and staining. -Rounded bottom characteristic typical of Nazca Ceramics. -two of the three handles broken off and lost.
12	1970.9.58	Pot	Description from Albertin Collection inventory document: Chimu culture, Peru, north coast, vessel with constricted top. Black ware. 1.5” top diameter, maximum width 8”, height 6.3”. No designs. Other Descriptions: Globular with no designs. Constricted opening at top with short slightly flared rim. Color: BK -Plain black ware is a typical form of Chimu ceramics, and those lacking physical or chromatic design suggest utilitarian use -Rounded bottom typical of vessels meant to be placed in the ground -Heavily damaged opening, superficial cracking present -Signs of general wear
