Clay vessel

Small, spherical jug with a short, conical neck. The monochrome object has been smoothed and polished on both sides. Its exterior is primed and polished. The primer is partially eroded. The ceramic has a black-brown base colour. The interior of the object remains undecorated. Cultural significance: Haberland (1971f., 1992) sees the group as a diagnostic indicator of the Gato phase (1200-1000d.C.). The pottery he documented in Los Angeles (Isla Ometepe) was associated with primary burials except for one vessel. (Künne 2004)
