The Wallace Ceramic Method was pioneered by Henry Wallace to temporally characterize Rincon Red-on-Brown, which is a Sacaton Phase Tucson brownware. Since then, the method has been revamped to apply to Middle Gila Buffware. The method is a systematic way of assigning temporal affiliation to Middle Gila Red-on-buff ceramics by using presence/absence of particular time sensitive motifs. This method is a living system where refinements have been made to the system by various researchers, including Wallace himself, as well as Dr. Dave Abbott, and Dr. Andrew Lack.
In some instances, when applied correctly to potsherds with multiple motifs, the temporal range for the vessel can be narrowed down to a 50 year time period!
