Find Unit 26, a cache of broken vessels from Trench 5, consists of 

 three Smoked ware open bowls, a Sangre variety bowl, a Platanillo 

 variety bowl, an Aromo variety plate, and a large Red Daubed wide- 

 mouthed collared jar. 



Find Unit 30, consisting of two Delgado Red vessels of the Azuero 

 ceramic group, may have been associated with a badly crushed 

 skeleton found in the same excavation pit. One of the vessels is a 

 class "c" collared jar with lobed shoulders, the other is a collarless jar 

 with loop handles. 



Find Unit 43 contained a small, crude, unclassified, buff jar with rim 

 or collar missing, and the only spindle whorl found at the site. 



Find Units 44 and 47. Find 44 was made up of four vessels arranged 

 in a straight line with some bone fragments under one of them and 

 charcoal and burned earth associated. The vessels include one Red 

 Line Patterned and Modeled open bowl, one Red Daubed strap- 

 handled collared jar, one Buff open bowl, and one small Smoked ware 

 spouted jar, a shape which in Smoked ware occurred only in Early 

 Period graves at Sitio Conte (Lothrop, 1942, p. 162) although the 

 shape in other wares at that site generally occurred in the Late 

 Period. Find 47, just below and "in the same grave as Find 44" 

 (Field Notes) was comprised of a skull and two Azuero group Delgado 

 Red vessels, a class "c" collared jar, and a collarless jar with loop 

 handles. Three rubbing stones were found with the skull. Thus, 

 we have the two Find 47 Delgado Red vessels, which appear to have 

 late affinities at the He-4 site, associated with the vessels of Find 44 

 which are placed in the Early Period at Sitio Conte or have early 

 associations at this site. 



Find Unit 45 was a cache of three vessels; a large (diameter of collar 

 lip is 38 cms.) Red Daubed wide-mouthed jar containing a Smoked 

 ware Aromo variety plate and covered by a large inverted Smoked 

 ware Platanillo variety open bowl. 



Find Unit 48, a cache in Trench 6, associated a Red Daubed 

 wide-mouthed jar with two Red Line Patterned and Modeled vessels 

 and a Smoked ware Platanillo variety open bowl. 



Momentarily disregarding the evidence of Finds 44 and 47, the grave 

 lots of He-1 suggest that the Red Daubed wide-mouthed jar, the Red 

 Daubed constricted-orifice collared jar, and the Red ware chaUce 

 extended through both the Early and Late Periods. The Red Line 

 Patterned and Modeled, Red Line, Pito variety. Red Daubed jars 

 with strap handles, and Smoked ware of the Platanillo variety all 

 appear to be Early Period types or varieties. These relative positions, 

 based on associations with the more easily dated polychrome vessels, 

 are reinforced in some cases where no polychrome association was 

 present. For example: On the basis of polychrome associations in
