- Summary Description:
- The term “sub-oven” graves refers to a group of features in Operation 3, which were stratified underneath stone-lined oval pits surmised to ovens. These are features 1, 2, 16, 21, 26 and 94, of which only 1, 2, 16 and 94 provided interpretable remains. The others were severely looted or disturbed by later graves. The only intact pottery vessels recovered are Cubitá-style plates (estimated span: 500-700 CE) and Espabé type incense burners associated here and elsewhere on the Azuero Peninsula with Tonosí pottery (250-500 CE). Radiocarbon dates based on charcoal found in the grave fills, and human tooth dentine protein, are broadly consistent with the typological chronology although they suggest that some features were used perhaps 100 years earlier (perhaps by 150 BCE).
