JAMBELI CULTURE — ESTRADA, MEGGERS, EVANS 



545 



(G-605) gave a date of 1740 ± 70 years or A.D. 220 (Ishida et al, 1960, 

 p. 518). This is earlier than expected if it refers to the Milagro culture, 

 as the copper ax money would imply. However, the characteristics 

 of the site and associated materials do not permit its identification with 

 the Jambeli cultm-e as it is known in Ecuador. 



The only evidence in conflict with the chronological placement of 

 the Jambeli culture between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500 is the few sherds of 

 early Manteiio types from surface collections at Sites G-L-30 and 



12 CM 



Figure 42. — Vessels of Jambeli shapes from the site of Garbanzal, Peru. Identifying 

 numbers have been retained from the original figure (after Ishida et al., 1960, p. 120).
