Pueblo I neckbanded gray ware pottery.

People still made gray ware pottery during the Pueblo I period, but they made a new style called "neckbanded gray." These jars had bands on the outside of their necks, where the clay coils were not scraped smooth. Neckbanded gray jars were used for cooking and storage.

Pueblo I white ware pottery.

Pueblo I white ware pottery was more nicely decorated than earlier white ware pottery. During this time, Pueblo potters used smooth pebbles to lightly polish the surfaces of their vessels. Sometimes they applied a thin coat of watery clay, called "slip." The slip made the surface of the vessel smoother and a brighter white. Then potters used yucca brushes to paint black designs on top of the slip. Most white wares were serving bowls, but some jars were made, too.

Pueblo I red ware pottery.

A new kind of pottery was made for the first time during the Pueblo I period. This new pottery is called "red ware" because of its red or orange color. Red ware vessels were polished and then painted with orange or black designs.

Red ware pottery was made in the western part of the Mesa Verde region and then traded throughout the area.

Archaeologists find lots of two-hand manos and trough metates at Pueblo I sites.

Pueblo people continued to use the bow and arrow to hunt wild animals.
