Abstract

This comment argues that Latta's (1987) recent interpretation of certain ceramic items on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Ontario Iroquoian sites as imitations of Catholic chalices is contrary to the chronological distribution of the artifacts, is inconsistent with the nature of contemporaneous chalices, and ignores more-plausible alternative interpretations.

Résumé

Résumé

Un artículo reciente por Latta (1987) propone que ciertas muestras de ceramica que proveen de sitios iroqueses de los siglos dieciseis y diecisiete en la provincia de Ontario, Canada, son imitaciónes de cálizes católicos. Este argumento no esta apoyado por la distributión cronológica de los artefactos, ni por los cálizes contemporaneos, y la autora no se considera otras interpretaciónes mas creíbles.
