Figure 22. — Forms of bases associated with Jambeli Phase vessel shapes: a, annular; 

 b, annular pedestal; c, hollow polypod; d, solid polypod. 



3. Annular Pedestal (fig. 22, b) : A tall annular pedestal, measuring 6.0-8.5 cm. 



in existing height and 14-30 cm. in base diameter, is associated with the follow- 

 ing pottery types: Jambeli Red Wash, Jambeli White Wash, Jambeli Incised. 

 None of the Ecuadorian sherds had any of the body wall attached but com- 

 plete vessels with this form of base are represented in the collection from 

 Garbanzal, Peru (Meji'a Xesspe, 1960, lam. 1, a-c). 



4. Hollow Polypod (fig. 22, c) : Hollow legs, circular in cross section, with 



maximum diameter near attachment to the body wall, tapering to a rounded 

 tip, are associated with the following pottery types: Jambeli Plain, Ayalan 

 Plain, Jambeli White-on-Red, Jambeli Red Banded. Maximum diameter 

 is 2-5 cm. Only one is complete enough to reconstruct the length, which is 

 about 9 cm. The area of attachment is visible on several rim sherds of 

 Form 8, but these are too small to indicate whether the legs were used in 

 sets of three or more. 



5. Solid Polypod (fig. 22, d) : A single example of a solid leg, similar in form to 



the hollow ones but less bulbous, is classified as Jambeli Plain. Maximum 

 diameter is 3 cm. ; length 7.5 cm,
