Smoked ware open bowls, including one miniature tripod 

 example, were associated. 

 Find 372. Macaracas type (Pica-pica variety) and Black Line on 

 White vessels associated with Eed-buff coUarless jars, 

 pedestal and ring-based plates, miniature open bowl with 

 incurving rims. Smoked ware consisted of a miniature 

 tripod open bowl with a gutter rim, and a plain-based plate 

 with rim handles and nodes. 

 Find 373. Macaracas type (Pica-pica variety) and Cuipo variety 



polychromes. 

 Find 375. Macaracas type (Pica-pica variety) polychrome vessels 

 with miniature Red-buff collared jars class "a" and Red- 

 buff collarless jars. A miniature Smoked ware tripod bowl 

 was associated with these. 

 Find 377. Red-buff ware only including: globular bottles; a pjrramid 

 bottle; collarless jars; collared jars class "a," including at 

 least one example with rope handles ; a reverse flare collared 

 jar; pot covers; and ring and pedestal-based plates. 

 Find 378. Macaracas type (Pica-pica variety) vessels and two Smoked 

 ware open bowls with Sangre variety rims, but ring bases. 

 Find 379. Macaracas type (Pica-pica variety) vessel with a Red-buff 



eflSgy jar, and a class "a" collared jar. 

 Find 381. Two Red-buff collared jars, class "a." 

 Find 382. Macaracas (Pica-pica variety) collared jar with a Red-buff 

 gadrooned vessel. 

 Single whole finds consisted of class "a" Red-buff collared jars and 

 one polychrome collared jar tentatively classed as Pica-pica variety. 

 The complete lack of association between Parita or El Hatillo 

 types (some shapes excepted ^) and Macaracas types suggests time 

 gaps, but does not indicate relative chronological position. As noted 

 earlier, sherds of all types were recovered in the fill. Possibly the 

 mound was constructed in two stages; the lower light brown fill was 

 used to cover the Macaracas burials and those caches listed above 

 (all of them except Find 348-350 were found at depths of 1.5 meters 

 or below in the light-brown fill), and the mixed mottled brown fill was 

 added later by groups using El Hatillo varieties. Find 348-350, at 

 a depth of 1.30 cms., is the only one with a possible Parita type 

 vessel association. Smoked ware open bowls (a) with Sangre variety 

 rims but ring bases and (b) with gutter rims and bulbous tripods 

 were found associated with Macaracas type polychromes. 



' The globular bottle, the pyramid bottle, and the bird jars are all disturbingly reminiscent of either 

 El Hatillo type or Cerito variety vessels, and presumably have no place in a cache with Cuipo and Pica- 

 pica variety polychromes. Possibly the Macaracas examples are heirlooms which were included In a 

 later burial (no exceptional signs of wear are present), or the Red-buff vessels are prototypes of later poly 

 chromes, or the postulated sequence of Macaracas followed by El Hatillo is wrong.
