Pottery -- Viru Valley, Peru; Mounds -- Peru Viru Valley; Viru Valley, Peru -- Antiquities. 174 CERAMICS OF THE VIRU VALLEY, PERU. Fig. 58. Rim profiles of San Nicolas Molded; rim exteriors to the right. C, ornaments or marks on exterior of bowl bases. X of the bowls have polished interiors, and more than 75 per cent have ring bases (fig. 58, B). A few have solid, conical, tripod supports (fig. 58, D). There are four examples of ring base bowls with a special ornament or mark on the outside of the base (fig. 58, C). One has a large, raised (molded) cross centered within the ring base. Another has a small, de- pressed cross in the same position, and a third has depressed, crossed lines with parallel, depressed lines in two of the quadrants. These latter are not incised but are formed in the mold or pressed with a stamp. A fourth bowl has incised crosshatching on the bottom. Kroeber (1930, p. 101) has sug- gested that incised marks on the bases of two red ware bowls from Tiata- cantin, a Tomaval period cemetery in Viru, may have been property marks or makers' marks. Similar marks were found on the sides of several of Uhle's Tiahuanaco period vessels from Moche A (Kroeber, 1925a, p. 209). Strong (Strong and Evans, 1952, p. 162) found two identical Mochica effigy jars, undoubtedly from the same mold, in a grave at Huaca de la Cruz in Viru. Each vessel had an identical pressed cross on the exterior of the flat base. These also may be manufacturers' marks. We found no examples of San Nicolas Molded bowls with molded stipple-and- cross design on the base like that of the specimen from Moche A illustrated by Kroeber (1925a, pi. 65, 0-.
