Summary

The Culebra and Ronquin Paleosols and Their Vessel Assemblages

William P. Barse

Rim sherds from the Culebra and Ronquin sites along the Orinoco River reflect a broadly- shared range of common vessel shapes. The suite of bowls, jars, platters and other shape categories reflect the existence of a common household repertoire of vessels used in food serving, storage and preparation activities. This presentation reviews the commonalities in the range of vessel shapes recovered from secure, well-dated paleosol contexts in these two sites, suggesting that both were part of a riverine inter-action sphere along the Orinoco in northern Venezuela.
