  found 
  their

  We 
  know 
  

   almost 
  nothing 
  about 
  their 
  association 
  with 
  other 
  types 
  of 
  cultural 
  

   remains, 
  including 
  pottery. 
  

  

  The 
  region 
  has 
  yielded 
  a 
  rich 
  variety 
  of 
  red 
  and 
  red-on-buff 
  pottery, 
  

   often 
  highly 
  polished, 
  and 
  bearing 
  engraved 
  or 
  modeled 
  anthropo- 
  

   morphic 
  forms, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  engraved 
  geometric 
  designs. 
  Although 
  the 
  

   pottery 
  is 
  well 
  represented 
  in 
  local 
  collections 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  described 
  

   and 
  illustrated 
  (Gonzalez 
  Suarez, 
  1878, 
  1892; 
  Verneau 
  and 
  Kivet, 
  

   1912-22), 
  very 
  little 
  is 
  known 
  about 
  the 
  associations 
  and 
  chronolog- 
  

   ical 
  relationships 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  types 
  of 
  pottery 
  because 
  of

  Uhle, 
  on 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  his 
  extensive 
  but 
  

   cursorily 
  described 
  work 
  (Uhle, 
  1922 
  a, 
  1922 
  b), 
  has 
  postulated 
  for 
  the 
  

   area 
  a 
  "Maya" 
  Period, 
  a 
  succeeding 
  Tiahuanaco 
  Period, 
  a 
  post- 
  

   Tiahuanaco 
  Period 
  which 
  he 
  calls 
  Tacalzhapa 
  or 
  the 
  "culture 
  of 
  the 
  

   clay 
  seats/ 
  ' 
  and 
  a 
  final 
  pre-Inca 
  Period. 
  He 
  believes 
  that 
  there 
  was 
  

   little 
  use 
  of 
  metal 
  in 
  the 
  "Maya" 
  Period, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  gold 
  objects 
  

   date 
  from 
  the 
  succeeding 
  two 
  periods, 
  gilded 
  copper 
  being 
  especially 
  

   characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  Tacalzhapa 
  Period. 
  

  

  Uhle 
  believed 
  that 
  the 
  first 
  three 
  of 
  these 
  periods 
  were 
  well 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  at 
  Cerro 
  Narrio 
  in 
  the 
  Cafiar 
  Valley 
  (Uhle, 
  1922 
  b; 
  1931, 
  p. 
  39). 
  

  

  The 
  stratigraphic 
  testing 
  of 
  Cerro 
  Narrio 
  and 
  nearby 
  sites 
  by 
  Collier 
  

   and 
  Murra 
  (Collier 
  and 
  Murra, 
  1943) 
  revealed 
  there 
  an 
  Early 
  Period 
  

   (Early 
  Cerro 
  Narrio), 
  and 
  a 
  Late 
  Period 
  (Late 
  Cerro 
  Narrio) 
  which 
  

   merged 
  into 
  Inca 
  (pi. 
  159) 
  ? 
  Early 
  Cerro 
  Narrio 
  is 
  characterized 
  by 
  

   very 
  fine 
  red-on-buff 
  jars 
  and 
  hard, 
  highly 
  polished 
  red 
  bowls 
  and 
  

   plates. 
  For 
  Uhle 
  both 
  of 
  these 
  wares 
  were 
  diagnostic 
  of 
  his 
  "Maya" 
  

   Period. 
  In 
  Late 
  Cerro 
  Narrio 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  fading 
  out 
  of 
  Early 
  types,
