Feature was encountered at Caimito site, but not one sherd of ?Caimito complex ceramics (dominant component on site) occured ?witin this feature and Cumancaya sherds were not encouterded ?elsewhere on site. Absolute absence of Caimito sherds in fill of ?pit suggest that pit eas dug and refilled before any Caimito ?occupation had occured in area, suggestion strongly supported by ?date (cf Y/9).
