Extract

During May, June, July, and August of 1956 I was engaged in archaeological field work near the city of Pucallpa on the Ucayali River in eastern Peru. The project was sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History as a part of its long term program of anthropological work in the Peruvian Montana. The Museum grants permission to present this preliminary statement, and it will publish the final report on this work.

This article is an expanded version of a paper read before the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, Madison, Wisconsin, on May 3, 1957. I wish to thank Gordon R. Willey who read and criticized the original version and Robert J. Squier who read and criticized the present version. Their suggestions have been most constructive and helpful.
