2. Bakelite Cinco Centavo Tokens Issued by Hacienda El Progreso

Description:
Bakelite/vulcanite tokens are extremely rare in Ecuador, but were a global phenomenon in the latter half of the 19th century. Five tokens were recovered, all hard vulcanized rubber (commonly called ebonite or vulcanite), with two examples of orange 20 centavo tokens, and three black five centavo tokens. The latter are all marked “ANACARSIS MEDINA/ CHANDUY and were the main form of coinage circulating on the hacienda during Cobos’ tenure. We know little of Anacarsis Medina, but assume he may have been an old business contact of Cobos’.

10. A Coarse Earthenware Bottle Fragment From North Coast Peru

Description:
A partial vessel recovered from the Carpintero midden appears to be related to North Coast Peru Chimu styles, and can be tied to the ongoing colonial Peruvian production of coarse earthenwares in Chimu-Inka-Colonial styles. It is very similar to the “San Juan Molded” sherds recovered by Heyerdahl and Skjölsvold (1956).

Description:
Refined white earthenwares (REW) from Hacienda El Progreso were dominated by industrial lined and banded decoration. Sherds with banded decoration were the most common of RWE decorations. This emphasis on banded decoration is typical of the latest styles in Latin American tastes after 1880.

17. Fragments of a colorless glass demijohn

Description:
We recovered fragments of at least one demijohn, a high-capacity bottle with a wide mouth was used to transport wine for decanting into smaller bottles. It suggests that South American elites were used to the idea of purchasing wine in demijohns, which were usually shipped in a woven basketry cover and/or straw packing and a wooden crate.
