Excavations of the main dump, the Carpintero midden, were undertaken on the property of the town carpenter. The carpentry (upper right) and the family house (left) surround a lower courtyard where excavation took place. The Cobos hacienda house lies directly behind and upslope from the carpentry.

Buttons, including 15 bone, 12 mother of pearl, and 13 white Prosser china buttons were recovered in the midden and house excavations. All of the white ceramic buttons were made with the Prosser process, patented in 1840. White china buttons were exported all over the world from the 1840s onwards by England, France, the United States, and Germany.

The artifact-rich lense of buried materials in the Carpintero midden can be seen running more or less diagonally along the profile, sloping upward behind the house to the left (west). This latter protion was excavated further in 2015.

The artifact-rich lense of the Carpintero midden can be seen as its surface is exposed during excavation in 2014. Filled with discarded animal bones, glass bottles, and ceramics, artifact deposition was so dense, that recovered materials often exceeded the amount of associated soil by volume.

Phytolith samples were extracted from the profile of La Cárcel Unit 1 after excavation. The profile illustrates the regular depth of soil development in this highland area of the island.

A number of 2X2 m units were excavated immediately adjacent to the historic building called La Cárcel or jail, but also locally referred to as El Comisariato or commisary as it likely functed as the village store at least during later years of the Hacienda El Progreso.
