EL HATILLO POLYCHROME; JOBO VARIETY 



Sample: 18 vessels or large fragments (mainly from one grave lot) 

 and 52 sherds (pi. 3, a, b). 



Paste.- — Fired to the same color range as the El Hatillo variety, but 

 there appears to be a higher incidence of black particles in the crushed 

 rock temper. The shp is considerably softer than that of the El 

 Hatillo variety and has a rating of 2 on Mohs' scale. 



Shapes. — Two basic shapes are apparent (fig. 7, o, ^); a globular 

 bottle with a narrow straight spout and a ring base, and a ring-based 

 jar with a high angled shoulder and incurved rim. The latter shape 

 occurred in the collection in three variations: 



(a) with a sohd, flattened bird head attached to the rim (fig. 7, t), 



(b) with a hollow bird head, solid wings and tail appended to the 

 shoulder (fig. 7, /, m), and 



(c) an apparently similar shape (known only from sherds) but 

 with solid head.
