  Introduction to Patayan Culture
The Patayan Culture evolved along the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona, extending from the area around Kingman northeastward to the Grand Canyon.
The pottery of the Patayan is primarily plain ware, their painted wares being merely copies of contemporary local types.
The earliest plain wares were much like Alma Plain of the Mogollon, except that they were made using the paddle-and-anvil method, and forms are more reminiscent of Hohokam types.
