The pottery classification "Zuni Polychrome" starts with a date of around 1850 and continues through today. Polychrome vessels at Zuni have been made in probably the largest quantity of any pueblo and in the greatest variety of any pueblo. James Stevenson and Frank Hamilton Cushing collected more than 1,000 ceramics at Zuni in 1879 and shipped them off to the Smithsonian. In 1881, Stephenson again collected more, about 1,800 more, and three years later, another 2,250. Stevenson's wife, Matilda Coxe Stevenson, collected rare examples in 1904. Other museums also collected at Zuni during those times. Batkin, 1987 [163]
