Though listed as part of the Glenwood Series, San Francisco Red is considered a diagnostic type for the Mogollon, as it persists throughout the life of the culture. The primary differences over time were in the forms. Earlier vessels were hemispherical bowls and narrow-necked jars with straight rims. Flaring rims occur during the middle of the period. Later in Mogollon history, neck filleting and lug handles suggest the influence of Tularosa types.
