  • Formative Period Occupations in the Highlands of Northern Ecuador: A Comment on Myers

  • J. Stephen Athens
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    20 January 2017, pp. 493-496

  • The proposal by Myers, Reidhead, and Brouillard of Valdivia-Machalilla-related occupations in the northern highlands of Ecuador is challenged. Stratigraphy and radiocarbon dates from the La Chimba site do not support the concept of an Early Formative Espejo phase. Additional evidence from the Im 11 site reinforces this conclusion. In sum, the prehistoric chronology of the northern highlands appears to be quite distinct from that of the Ecuadorian coast.

  • Formative Period Occupations in the Highlands of Northern Ecuador: Rejoinder to Athens

  • Thomas P. Myers
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    20 January 2017, pp. 497-500

  • Athens’ attack is based upon the fact that I did not cite an unpublished manuscript in my possession. In fact, the paper has little bearing upon the temporal argument. The radiocarbon dates which it contains should not be applied to the material in question. However, the paper does contain information which supports my hypothesis of contacts between the Coast and the Highlands. Such contacts help to account for the ceramic similarities between the two regions. New dates from the La Chimba site are internally inconsistent so that they cannot be used to support either point of view. However, the stratigraphic position of Espejo Phase ceramics beneath resist painted pottery is consistent with a Formative Period dating for the Espejo Phase.
