Huancaco vessel from V-272C, Burial 1; X Excavation V-272C.—The probability of disturbance in Trench B, e\'i- denced by the burials or caches of Gallinazo type in Levels 1-3 and the two Gallinazo burials at the edge of the trench in Level 7, led us to make a third cut in the mound. The only suitable undisturbed area remaining was on the east side of and immediately adjoining Trench A (fig. 38). Here we dug a 2 in' 6 meter trench. A number of Huancaco (Mochica) sherds turned up in Level 1, and in Level 2 (extending into Level 3) there were two Huancaco burials meters apart in the north end of the trench. Burial 1 contained two broken stirrup jars (figs. 40, J, and 44), and Burial 2 a single portrait vase with stirrup spout missing (fig. 40, K). The burial pits were indistinct and the bones very fragmentary. The bodies appeared.
