Figure 175.—Arua Phase zoomorphic adorno from jar 24, M-5—Mulatinho. cm. in diameter, with an incision cm. long and 2 mm. deep. The nose measm-es cm. long, 7 mm. high, and 7 mm. wide. Jar 25 is another base of a large jar, containing light-gray dirt and many sherds. The flat base, 12 cm, in diameter, lay upside down 30 cm. below the sm-face. The miniature vessels probably aU originally from inside or near the various jars but now scattered throughout the site are described in detail below. They all are examples of Piratuba Plain. Vessel A (pi. 106, a) was buried near vessel B, 30 cm. below the surface in light gray dirt, about halfway between the bases of jar 17 and jar 18. The interior surface is creamy white, the exterior slightly grayer and spotted with a few fire clouds. Both surfaces are rough and slightly irregular with traces of the coils still visible. The exterior surface is scratched and scarred and there is sporadic protrusion of ground sherd temper particles. The rim to cm. wide and 8 to 10 mm. thick is folded over and the fold partially obliter- ated. The lip is squared with rounded corners. The flat base is cm. in diameter. The vessel walls are slightly asymmetrical and irregular in thickness,ranging from 5 to 7 mm. The height is cm, exterior body diameter cm., and exterior rim diameter to cm. Vessel B (pi. 106, h) has the same surface texture and color as vessel A. The rim is unevenly folded over and the vessel walls are slightly asymmetrical, ranging from 4 to 7 mm. in thickness. The rim is 9 to 13 mm. wide and 6 mm. thick, with a squared lip with rounded corners. The flat base is 8 cm. in diameter, the body 11 cm. in exterior diameter, total height cm. and rim diameter to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability -
