In experiment, it worked quite well, especially on the arm, leg, or thigh where the slight give of the skin and flesh permits the entire design to be transferred easily and clearly. In further support of this interpretation is the fact that no sherds were found with stamped ornamentation. SITE J-12—JURUPUCUr This is the only site of the Acauan Phase not located on Mexiana.

In further support of this interpretation is the fact that no sherds were found with stamped ornamentation. SITE J-12—JURUPUCUr This is the only site of the Acauan Phase not located on Mexiana. It is on the Rio Jurupucii, which flows westward parallel to and several kilometers inland from the north coast of Maraj6 (fig. 48). The sherd sample was collected by Sr. Rodolfo Chermont, Jr., from the river bed. Although details of the situation could not be ascertained, the best interpretation seems to be that the Jurupucii has changed its course since aboriginal times and washed out a site so that the pottery is now under water in the bed of the river (cf. Site M-2, p. 457; Site C-15, p. 464), As a result of this submersion the paste has as- sumed a slightly different texture and color from that at the type site, M-3, but in vessel shape and surface technique the sherds are good examples of Acauan Phase pottery 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.
