A sartén handle and part of the pan were included in this lot. 7 Materials from this deposit consisted of eight bags containing 134 sherds, about half of them Ceiba, one quarter Buenos Aires Polychrome, and a quarter Red Wares. 8 Two additional hollow tripod legs, possibly Buenos Aires Polychrome, found in this lot. 9 One solid tripod leg, probably from a Papayal Engraved vessel, and three hollow tripod legs, one from a Fish Ware vessel, found in this lot. 10 Eight hollow tripod legs and two miniature vessel fragments found in this lot. 11 Estimates suggest there were 3 Buenos Aires Polychrome vessels, 10 Red Ware vessels, possibly 2 Ceiba vessels, 2 Ceiba-like miniature vessels, 1 Seúl Grabado vessel, 3 unusual sherds, and 1 plain vessel. In addition, the lot also included 1 spindle whorl, the figurine of the woman with a pot (see fig. 7.7), one stone flake, and 2 bags of fragments of a probable“jaguar”metate. ...
