AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Grosscup descibes the Amapa ceramics and compares them to other ceramics of west Mexico. His dates for the Cerritos, Ixcuintla, and Santiago phases are based on cross-dating and do not match the dates given in Meighan (1976), document no. 3, for the same phases. He dates the Cerritos phase from 1100-900 B.P. (900-1100 A.D.) and the Ixcuintla phase from 900-600 B.P. (1100-1350 or 1400 A.D.). He has the Santiago phase then continue until Spanish contact.
