Re: the red pottery from se Utah… suppose perhaps it may have been what was in them from se Utah. Perhaps something unique they need for their ceremony like uranium or some type of material that burned w sparks or something. The radioactive material or magnetic element?

All Kivas were plastered and sealed water cisterns that could also be used as fermentation tanks for making beer.

Cool. I didn't know that, but, entirely possible. Beer, wine and alcohol, have played a part in most every part of history, on every continent. I did a paper on it in college. There wasn't much information on Native American practices of alcohol, accept the bad parts of the effects of alcohol on the Native American People. There had to be good parts too.
