Museum signage: These flattened, disk-shaped canteens are unique to Las Humanas. A person could transport 4 to 5 gallons of water in a large one by suspending it from a tumpline around the forehead or chest, with the heavy canteen supported on the back. Perhaps the Indians used these canteens to transport well water back to the pueblo.Galleries:Ceramic Arts, Native Americans, Salinas Pottery and Other ArtifactsKeywords:Gran Quivira, Las Humanas, Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, canteen, ceramics, crafts, pottery, waterPhoto Location: Gran Quivira Contact Station Exhibit, Pueblo Missions National Monument, New MexicoPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 02/19/2014Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.0666667F Number: 6.3Original Dimensions: 5116×3591Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 34°35'45.05"N 106°17'45.88"WPicture Number: 26169
