Smoked Ware 



platanillo variety 



The most common shape among the examples of Smoked ware was 

 that of a ring-based open bowl with a modified gutter rim, usually 

 slanted slightly inward and downward (fig. 65, b). These vary con- 

 siderably in size; Find 45-6 is 16 cms. tall with a diameter of 35 cms. 

 while Find 12-c is 5 cms. tall with a diameter of 18 cms. Eight of 

 these vessels were found at He-1 (Finds 5-a, 12-c, 2l-h, 23-6, 24-3, 

 26-2, 45-6, and 48-c?). The shape apparently did not occur in 

 Smoked ware at Sitio Conte, although similar rims on pedestal-based 

 vessels were recovered at He-4. This variety was associated with 

 Early Period Code polychromes in Find Units 23 and 24, but its 

 popularity may have extended on into Late Period times. 



SANGRE VARIETY 



Another fairly consistent shape, represented however by only two 

 whole vessels (Finds 14-/ and 26-1), is that of a shallow open bowl on 

 a low pedestal. The pedestal rim is flanged outward, and the bowl 

 rim or lip has a double flange, one extending outward and the other on 

 the interior extending upward (fig. 65, c). The lip may be incised. 

 The sizes of these two examples range from small (diameter 12.5 cms.) 

 to medium (diameter 27.5 cms.). Smoked ware bowls similar to 

 these in shape and rim treatment, but with ring bases, were found in 

 Early Period graves at Sitio Conte (Lothrop, 1942, fig. 320, 6) and at 

 He-4, Find 378. At He-1, the variety is associated in Find Unit 14 

 with a Late Period Code polychrome plate and the Red ware chalice 

 shape. Find 26-1 is associated with a Red Daubed variety wide- 

 mouthed collared jar and a PlatanUlo variety Smoked ware dish. 

 Thus, it may have extended from Early to Late Periods. 



AROMO VARIETY 



Three vessels (Finds 14-^^, 26-3, and 45-a) share a plain open shallow 

 bowl shape with a rounded base and a rim which is thickened and 

 obliquely flattened on the outer edge (fig. 65 d). Polishing marks 

 are generally clear on the interiors. Diameters range from 18-24 

 cms.; heights are 3-4 cms. The variety is associated at this site with 

 a Late Period polychrome plate (Find lA-d). PlatanUlo variety bowls 

 in Finds 26 and 45, however, give it a range over both Periods. The 

 shape is not illustrated for Sitio Conte, nor have I seen examples of it 

 elsewhere in the literature.
