Associated techniques: Seven small pottery adornos were collected from the 

 surface of Site 0-6. Several complete vessels from Garbanzal, Peru, show 

 this kind of adorno on the upper part of tall pedestal bases with incised 

 decoration (fig. 42: 55-56; Mejia Xesspe, 1960, lam. 1, a, c,), and the adornos 

 from Site 0-6 must have occupied the same position. The surface is gen- 

 erally even, but unpolished, and only one adorno shows traces of slip or paint. 

 Three are identifiable as bird heads (fig. 29, d-g) ; the remaining four are 

 generalized but probably represent an animal (fig. 29, a-c) . All have the same 

 type of eye: a ring with a punctate in the center. The animal heads have 

 slightly to highly projecting noses, with two punctates at the base to repre- 

 sent nostrils. The mouth is an irregular horizontal gash. These heads 

 are attached at the back to the vessel wall. Two are solid and the other two 

 are hollow. Of the three birds, two are heads and the other a complete 

 bird with outstretched wings. The latter has zoned red paint between the 

 pairs of incisions on the wing and tail. 



Temporal Differences Within the Type: None discernible. 



Chronological Position of the Type: Present in small frequency throughout 

 the seriated sequence (see fig. 38). 



Jambeli Negative (Jambeli Negative) 



Size of Sample: 45 sherds. 



Paste: Majority like Ayalan Plain; a few like Jambeli Plain. See those type 



descriptions for details. 

 Surface: Painting applied to plain or red slipped surface. Plain surfaces even 



but not polished. Red slip varies from thin unpolished coating to polished 



red slip comparable to Jambeli Polished Red. Rare sherds are white slipped 



on the rim, then painted. 

 Form (total rims from seriated samples, 17) : 



Rim: Direct with rounded or tapered lip. Rarely expanded with flat top. 



Body wall thickness: 3-7 mm. 



Base: Typically flattened; rarely annular 14-16 cm. diameter. 



Reconstructed common vessel shapes: 



Form 1 — 82.5 percent 



Form 3 — 11.8 percent 



Form 10 — 5.9 percent. 



Decoration (figs. 30 and 31): 



Technique: Black paint applied by the resist or negative technique to a plain, 

 red slipped or white sUpped portion of the surface. Frequently combined 

 with white paint on a red slipped surface, either as an integrated design in 

 which the negative painting is alternated with or superimposed on the 

 white painted design, or on the opposite surface (i.e., the interior is negative 

 painted and the exterior white-on-red). Where well preserved, the black is 

 dark and covers the red sHp completely. Edges of painted areas are sharply 

 defined. Black lines are more unequal in width than unpainted lines left 

 by the application of resist material. Negative paint is fugitive and fre- 

 quently difficult to detect even when the surface is wet, suggesting that this 

 technique of decoration may have been more common than the eroded 

 condition of the sherds now indicates. 



Motif: Lines and dots, independently or in combination. Dots are unpainted 

 areas to which resist material was originally applied. They occur in a single 

 row in the center of a band 8 mm. wide, or several adjacent rows cover a
