MOUND II 



The mound is chronologically significant only in its grave associa- 

 tion; that of the large globular urns of Finds 10, 14, 16, and 18 with 

 the Jobo and El HatUlo varieties of the El HatUlo type. If the mound 

 was constructed primarily to cover these burials, then the presence of 

 all other varieties (except Calabaza) in the sherd fill of the mound 

 would suggest that the Jobo variety is at least contemporary with, or 

 later than, those varieties. 



MOUND III 



This mound does not provide stratigraphic evidence for chrono- 

 logical relationships but does give some clues through vessel association 

 in caches. Find 19 associates a Red-buff collared jar, class "a," with 

 a Calabaza variety bottle. Find 22 tentatively (because of possible 

 confusion in labeling) allies a Nispero bird bowl with two El Hatillo 

 variety bird effigy vessels. Find 24 combines an An6n variety vessel 

 with an El HatUlo variety bird bottle. Find 30, a unit dominated by 

 El Hatillo variety polychromes, includes an An6n variety vessel, and 

 both class "a" and class "b" Red-buff collared jars. Individual finds, 

 of which there were many, included El HatUlo and Parita types, and 

 Calabaza variety vessels, but no Macaracas vessels, although Maca- 

 racas sherds occurred in the mound. On the assumption that most 

 of the finds are of contemporary or later age than the fUl in which they 

 are found, the El HatUlo and Parita types and the Calabaza variety 

 would be later than the Macaracas type.

MOUND VI ; TRENCH 11 



This trench, presented here in levels of 0-1 meter and 1-2 meters, 

 supports the thesis that the El HatUlo and Parita types and probably 

 the Calabaza variety reached their height of popularity at He-4 later 

 than the Macaracas type (chart 4). Total Azuero-style sherds 

 increase in proportion in the upper level. Code polychrome. Red 

 Daubed, Red Line wares, and Aristide group sherds are slightly more 

 popular in the lower level. There were no find units in the trench. 



MOUND VII 



The only stratigraphic feature of significance present in the mound 

 fUl is the line of demarcation between an upper layer of mottled brown
