. Bulletin. Ethnology. 116 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 167. Figure 33.—Serra Painted design on the slioulder of vessel P from A-11— Montanha de Ariste, Cave 2, Ariste Ptiase. Stippled area denotes red paint upon the natural tan surface of the vessel. and rim height was cm. and the estimated body diameter, cm. Scattered flecks of cremated bones were noted on the cave floor near the broken vessels. SITE A-12 CRUZEIRO The habitation site of Cruzeiro is almost 10 km. due north of Site A-10, on a bank 5 meters high along the west side of the narrow and deep Igarape da Rasa (fig. 1; pi. 6, 6). On the opposite side of the igarape the Campos do Cruzeiro, an open rolling plain with scattered groves of trees, stretch to the north, east, and south. The Amapa Air Base is about 15 km. to the northeast. When this area was cut and bm-ned for a garden of the Fomento de Agricola, sherds were observed on the surface. They were sparsely scattered to a depth of 5 cm. in an area roughly 100 meters square in a portion of the forest where the trees had been much smaller than the surrounding virgin growth. Many of the sherds were refired in the intense heat generated during the burning of the slash, a factor which had to be taken into consideration in making the ceramic classification. Of the 529 sherds, 339 or percent were Serra Plain, 176 or percent Ariste Plain,.
