  de 
  cabuya 
  legs, 
  and 
  anthropomorphic 
  jars 
  with 
  modeled 
  faces 
  (fig. 
  

   87, 
  b). 
  Some 
  plain 
  bowls 
  and 
  jars 
  were 
  coiled, 
  the 
  coils 
  being 
  left 
  

   unsmoothed. 
  The 
  commonest 
  form 
  of 
  decoration 
  was 
  incising 
  — 
  

   typical 
  were 
  deeply 
  incised 
  interiors 
  of 
  compotera 
  bowls 
  (fig. 
  87, 
  a). 
  

  

  San 
  Sebastian 
  was 
  a 
  stratified 
  site. 
  The 
  top 
  32 
  inches 
  (80 
  cm.) 
  

   contained 
  Inca 
  sherds, 
  the 
  next 
  3 
  feet 
  (1 
  m.) 
  contained 
  Huavalac 
  

   pottery, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  the 
  deposit 
  were 
  Guano 
  structures 
  and 
  

   pottery. 
  In 
  the 
  floor 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  houses 
  were 
  three 
  Tuncahuan 
  

   sherds. 
  

  

  Remains 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  period, 
  Elen 
  Pata, 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  several 
  ceme- 
  

   teries 
  near 
  Guano 
  (Jijon 
  y 
  Caamafio, 
  1927, 
  1:61-147). 
  Elen 
  Pata 
  is 
  

   placed 
  chronologically 
  between 
  Guano 
  and 
  Huavalac 
  on 
  stylistic

  (fig.

  The 
  following 
  forms 
  of 
  pottery 
  are 
  most 
  

   common: 
  (1) 
  Large 
  anthropomorphic 
  jars 
  decorated 
  with 
  red 
  and 
  

   black 
  geometric 
  designs 
  of 
  textilelike 
  quality 
  suggesting 
  garments; 
  

   (2) 
  small 
  jars 
  with 
  red 
  and 
  black 
  negative 
  painting; 
  (3) 
  compoteras 
  

   with 
  red 
  and 
  black 
  positive 
  and 
  negative 
  designs 
  on 
  interiors; 
  (4) 
  

   unpainted 
  tripods 
  with 
  hoja 
  de 
  cabuya 
  legs; 
  and 
  (5) 
  small 
  bowls 
  with 
  

   one 
  or 
  two 
  lugs 
  on 
  rims, 
  and 
  often 
  with 
  incised 
  geometric 
  designs 
  on 
  

   exteriors 
  (fig. 
  88). 
  Found 
  in 
  the 
  burials 
  were 
  copper 
  tupus 
  and 
  a 
  

   "ceremonial" 
  ax 
  of 
  copper. 
  

  

  The 
  Huavalac 
  Period 
  was 
  found 
  primarily 
  at 
  the 
  cemetery 
  of 
  that 
  

   name 
  near 
  Guano 
  (Jijon 
  y 
  Caamafio, 
  1927, 
  2:149-56). 
  Huavalac 
  

   pottery 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  degeneration 
  of 
  Elen 
  Pata 
  styles. 
  Painted 
  

   decoration 
  fades 
  out 
  and 
  incising 
  is 
  emphasized. 
  Vertical 
  welts, 
  

   sometimes 
  notched, 
  on 
  the 
  shoulders 
  of 
  jars 
  are 
  a 
  new 
  decorative 
  

   device.
