The paste had a gray core. Four centimeters of black, ashy dirt containing fragments of bm'nt bone and tiny sherds remained inside the bottom of this jar. A small, blunt stone ax (fig. 133) lay outside near the base. The rim of the second vessel (jar B) was also broken off and scat- tered around the edge. It was similar in shape but slightly smaller than jar A. Inside were a small jar (D) resting on a small open bowl (C), and the remains of a cremation burial. The fact that these two jars, when intact, would project above the surface at its present level is an indication of the minimum amount of diminution the mound must have suffered by erosion since Marajoara Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
