TABOGUILLA-3 



Taboguilla-3 was a rock shelter which had been used for burial 

 purposes. Fragments of long bone shafts pertained to at least five 

 individuals. One was an infant, another a child, and the rest were 

 probably adults. Also present were two right maxillary and three 

 mandible fragments, an almost complete mandible and seven loose 

 teeth, a right mastoid process of an adult and another of a child. There 

 were two fragments of a skull vault. 



The majority of the pottery consisted of sherds belonging to large 

 unpainted buff oUas. There were, however, a variety of decorated 

 sherds from smaller vessels. 



Painting consisted of black-on-white, black-on-red, or plain red or 

 orange. 



There was some incised ware and both plain and indented filleting. 

 One unique sherd indicated that the vessel had been wrapped with a 

 fiber string and then painted white, thus producing a negative design 

 where the cord had been (pi. 84, /). 



As already stated, one of the two shell artifacts that we found on 

 Taboguilla consisted of the replica of a jaguar canine, perforated 

 laterally at the middle as though it had been one of a necklace of 

 similar objects (pi. 65, /).
