Figure 3. Sample of Tizon Brown Ware rim sherds. Note the extensive sooting. historic contexts and with distinct attributes that indicate it was in use during the Bandini era (Figure 3). This presence of Native American ceramics is a continuation of a pattern that began at the royal presidio, where Tizon Brown Ware was found in abundance, along with smaller quantities of Lower Colorado River Buff Ware (Bartel 1991; Ezell and Ezell 1980; Schuyler 1978; Williams 2004). In fact, Tizon Brown Ware commonly occurs in Mexican- and early American-era Old Town household debris (Barter et al. 2012; Schulz et al. 1987), as it does in contemporary ranchos and other establishments in rural San Diego and elsewhere in southern California (Evans 1969; Wade 2004). A total of 1,140 sherds (5,508.5g) of Tizon Brown Ware were collected, this being only a small sample of what must exist there. Although not necessarily a representative sample because of the purposive nature of testing and recovery, there clearly appear to be some spatial patterns that inform on the function of native ceramics in the Bandini household (Table 1). The largest percentage by count (41.8 percent) and almost the highest percentage by weight (33.6 percent) derived from Room 105, the kitchen area, with many small pieces trampled into the floors. Concentrations were highest in the southern half of the room but also in the sediments in the drain. Numerous vessels are represented by the diverse number of rim sherds. Almost equal percentages of ceramics derive from the various units and trenches in the courtyard (27.2 percent) and around the exterior of the building (28 percent).
