- Laboratory comment:
- In RAVIN67 the date erroneously reported as 1320 +- 60 BC, ?probably because a confusion between the abreviation "a.C" (antes de Cristo) y "d.C" (despues de Cristo) - the Authors. 0

- Archaeological comment:
- Date is in agreement with another date on Caimito complex ?materials from nearby site, TAM-1 (N-310) 575+-105 BP. Ceramics ?of Caimito complex are nearly identical to those of Napo phase as ?defined by Meggers (1966), and less closely related to Marajoara ?phase (Meggers and Evans,1957). Caimito complex is intrusive into ?Central Ucayali Basin and has absolutely no antecedents there. ?Caimito dates are completely compatible with Napo dates (Evans ?and Meggers, 1962) since there is some evidence which suggest ?that Caimito materials should be slightly later than on Rio Napo ?in Ecuador (cf Y/9).
