Ethnology. 460 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [bull. 167. / IGARAPE PACAJA Figure 166. -Location and environmental situation of C-5—Morera and C-6— Croatasal, habitation sites of the Arua Phase. section A (pp. 499 ff., for description). The soil was light-gray clay, and not distinguishable from the sterile soil of the adjacent forest. The growth on the site included small trees, spiny palm, and broad- leafed croatd. Surface sherds were gathered from all parts of the site and two 2 by 2 meter square tests were made, one near the north end and the other near the south end. The collection includes 778 plain sherds and 31 fragments of applique or sherds with applique, all representative ex- amples of Piratuba Plain. Most unusual of these is a chubby, four- toed foot (fig. 167, b) that may represent the foot of a cayman or land turtle. C-7—SAO DOMINGO About 250 meters inland from the west bank of the Igarape Pacaja, almost opposite C-5, is a small Arua habitation site (fig. 151) now almost completely covered by a large anthill. It is on a large natural elevation that protects it from inundation during the rainy season, and covers an oval area 20 by 7 meters, with sherds to a depth of 20 to 35 cm. The forest in the vicinity is thick, and contains abundant spiny palm and cane. Excavation was possible only at the edges of the site, because of the large superstructure erected over the main portion by the ants, which were still in residence. A sample of 607 Piratuba Plain sherds.
