By: Grosscup, Gordon L..

Abstract
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.
