- 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:
- In partnership with GAIAS, the project constructed two permanent cabañas on property owned by USFQ north of the road below El Junco. Geologist Madelyn Percy (UNC) inspected the soil profile exposed in deep latrine excavations. The depth of soil formation in the humid highlands lies in stark contrast to most of the Galápagos island landscapes.

- 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.
