Buttons, including 15 bone, 12 mother of pearl, and 13 white Prosser china buttons were recovered in the midden and house excavations. This appears to be a button, or perhaps some decorative piece from clothing.

The "Floreana" left Norway in 1925 with a load of cement bound for Ecuador. It reached San Cristóbal in August of that year, where the Norwegian sailors were met by Manuel A. Cobos in his Ford pickup truck. At this time El Progreso continued to produce, with groves, gardens, grazing animals, sugar cane, and a "dilapidated" factory.

Condiment bottles in a variety of types, and none with labels were common. One kind consists of tall, thin colorless bottles with very skinny necks. Although unmarked, these shapes are typical of “salad oil” or “olive oil" bottles. Published marked examples originated in France during the late nineteenth century, with this bottle shape given in contemporary catalogues as a “Bordeaux Oil” shape.

This image was taken from El Junco, view Northeast, showing the stark contrasts between the southern and northern portions of San Cristóbal. The desolate northern part of the island, seen beyond the farms in the foreground, is dominated by a younger fissure-fed volcanic center.

A porcelain doll head with black hair and eyes and red lips, and two legs with brown heeled boots, and one plain doll’s arm were recovered in the main midden. These would have been sewn into a stuffed cloth body, and were probably made in Germany,which dominated the global production of ceramic doll parts from 1880 to 1914. The brown heeled boot was a common feature of doll legs from the 1880s onward.
