Abstract
The four specimens are part of the Gerardo Nieman Collection at the Hacienda Casa Grande in the Chicama Valley. Mr. Nieman said that all four of the specimens had come from the site of Sausal, where they had recently been uncovered by two huaqueros living at the Hacienda Sausal. We visited the home of one of the huaqueros, where we obtained an addi tional fragment of the cup with composite form (figs, la, b and 5a, b). Later, at the site of Sausal, the huaquero indicated the pit where he claimed to have found the specimens. This pit had an irregular conical shape, narrowing toward the bottom, and a maximum depth of about 3.5 meters. The huaquero claimed to have found all of the polychrome vessels near the bottom of the pit, in an area less than 1 meter in diameter. The vessels were said to have been broken when found, and the sherds scattered. While examining the backdirt adjacent to the pit, an addi tional sherd from the cup with composite form was found.
