  and 
  secondary 
  burials 
  are 
  encountered 
  in 
  the 
  graves, 
  but 
  ceramic 
  

   accompaniment 
  is 
  rare 
  except 
  for 
  a 
  few 
  large, 
  plain 
  ollas. 
  

  

  The 
  Rio 
  Bolo 
  complex 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  styles 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Central 
  

   Cordillera 
  east 
  of 
  Cali. 
  The 
  graves 
  have 
  both 
  round 
  and 
  square 
  

   shafts, 
  from 
  6 
  to 
  23 
  feet 
  (2 
  to 
  7 
  m.) 
  deep, 
  with 
  oval 
  chambers 
  (fig. 
  92, 
  c) 
  . 
  

   The 
  major 
  ceramic 
  shapes 
  are 
  squat, 
  pedestal-based 
  vessels, 
  and 
  globu- 
  

   lar 
  bowls 
  with 
  outflare 
  or 
  bulging 
  rims. 
  Small 
  vertical 
  handles 
  are 
  

   added 
  to 
  some 
  vessels 
  as 
  ornaments. 
  Otherwise 
  the 
  decoration 
  is 
  

   limited 
  to 
  slip 
  and 
  some 
  incision. 
  

  

  The 
  Quebrada 
  Seca 
  complex 
  is 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Central 
  Cordillera, 
  

   occasionally 
  overlapping 
  the 
  Rio 
  Bolo 
  section. 
  The 
  graves 
  either 
  

   have 
  short, 
  square 
  shafts, 
  6 
  feet 
  (2 
  m.) 
  deep, 
  with 
  arched 
  chambers 
  en- 
  

   tered 
  through 
  windowlike 
  doors, 
  or 
  are 
  bell-shaped 
  with 
  a 
  shaft 
  en- 
  

   trance 
  directly 
  above 
  the 
  chamber 
  (fig. 
  92, 
  6, 
  d). 
  As 
  many 
  as 
  200 
  pots 
  

   may 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  single 
  grave 
  (pi, 
  169, 
  top), 
  and 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  vessels 
  

   were 
  apparently 
  manufactured 
  especially 
  for 
  burial 
  purposes 
  . 
  Nonethe- 
  

   less, 
  the 
  ceramic 
  shapes 
  are 
  limited 
  to 
  such 
  forms 
  as 
  open 
  bowls, 
  ped- 
  

   estal 
  jars, 
  constricted-mouth 
  vessels 
  with 
  pointed 
  bases, 
  and 
  globular 
  

   ollas 
  (pi. 
  169, 
  bottom; 
  fig. 
  93). 
  The 
  characteristic 
  techniques 
  of 
  decor- 
  

   ation 
  are 
  partial 
  red 
  slip, 
  applique"d 
  faces 
  and 
  hands, 
  and 
  some 
  incision. 
  

   Some 
  of 
  the 
  crude, 
  pointed-base 
  jars 
  are 
  scored 
  with 
  deep 
  cuts 
  around 
  

   the 
  base. 
  The 
  absence 
  of 
  positive 
  or 
  negative 
  painting, 
  and 
  relief 
  or 
  

   modeled 
  decoration 
  is 
  noteworthy. 
  Plain 
  clay 
  spindle 
  whorls 
  are 
  

   common, 
  and 
  twisted 
  gold 
  nose 
  plugs 
  are 
  the 
  only 
  metalwork. 
  

  

  True 
  Quimbaya 
  materials 
  are 
  encountered 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  Upper 
  Cauca 
  region. 
  The 
  style 
  is 
  represented 
  by 
  typical 
  shapes, 
  

   three-color 
  negative 
  designs, 
  and 
  such 
  accompanying 
  artifacts 
  as 
  

   decorated 
  roller 
  stamps 
  and 
  incised 
  clay 
  whorls. 
  

  

  The 
  two 
  remaining 
  styles 
  are 
  both 
  called 
  "Calima" 
  by 
  the 
  Colom- 
  

   bian 
  archeologists. 
  The 
  first 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  rectangular 
  shaft 
  graves, 
  

   some 
  19 
  feet 
  (6 
  m.) 
  deep. 
  The 
  ceramics 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  red 
  slip 
  

   and 
  painted 
  in 
  fine-line, 
  white, 
  geometric 
  designs. 
  The 
  vessel 
  shapes 
  

   are 
  described 
  as 
  angular-bodied, 
  flare-rimmed, 
  and 
  as 
  tall 
  and 
  tubular. 
  

   A 
  few 
  clay 
  stamps, 
  whorls, 
  and 
  gold 
  nose 
  plugs 
  are 
  associated. 
  The 
  

   second 
  "Calima" 
  style 
  is 
  located 
  in 
  graves 
  16 
  feet 
  (5 
  m.) 
  deep, 
  with 
  

   oblique 
  shafts 
  bowed 
  on 
  one 
  side. 
  The 
  most 
  distinctive 
  vessel 
  has 
  a 
  

   constricted 
  neck 
  and 
  three 
  handles, 
  asymmetrically 
  placed 
  on 
  the 
  

   body. 
  

  

  Although 
  still 
  other 
  isolated 
  ceramic 
  types 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   Upper 
  Cauca 
  region, 
  none 
  is 
  of 
  typical 
  Nariiio 
  or 
  Tierradentro 
  style. 
  

   Further 
  detail 
  for 
  these 
  additional 
  types 
  may 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Arch- 
  

   eology 
  of 
  the 
  Popayan 
  Region,
