TO make pottery, one must mix clay with ground bone or shell for calcium.. this will keep the pottery from cracking.. its the secret ingredient. Make a mound using lava rocks and keep it hollow therein. Fill with sagebrush, and use oak or juniper for the fire, for they will burn hot enough. Deer antlers will be used to move the pottery between furnace and not. I have not heard of ash being used in any part of this process, but if I had to guess Iit wouldn't hurt probably to douse the entire pot in cooled ash, though I don't believe this is necessary. Oak ash makes great baking soda.. for tooth brushing or baking.

What were the natural resources used by the native Americans of the southwest were?

The Zuni people still use the Zuni River and locally-sourced clay to fashion pottery for food and water storage. They decorate this pottery with home-made organic dyes. These same dyes are used for their woven items of clothing. That same clay is used to make adobe, a type of brick with which houses are built. As their language is not related to any other Native American language, they had to rely on the human resource of intelligence to create their language. They used gravity (and still do) to irrigate the arid desert region in which they live.
