I am currently in the field analyzing the ceramics from Drago. I am in the sorting stage and at the mercy of the primatology course schedule (I have stolen a few of the monkey students to help me separate wares). I will soon be done and I am sure there are a few that I do not know. I need my books and more reliable internet. I will post the descriptions and pictures as soon as I get that organized. I will also try to post some more clear pictures of the sherds Dr. Wake posted. It would be really helpful, Laura, to receive the ware descriptions you were speaking of.

I am putting my reply regarding these ceramics and the Mora Polychromes in particular in the posting started by T. Wake. Hope this will help!

Tue, May 2, 2006 - 8:46 AMI sent these citations to Jeannette but I know they will also be of interest to other researchers in Bocas del Toro. Don't let the international border obscure the fact that eastern Costa Rica is the same culture region as western Panama!

Re: Drago Ceramics

I believe I have the Aguas Buenas/Bugaba subdivided based on some of my excavations at Barriles and Sitio Pitti-Gonzalez in the highlands of western Panama, though not quite in the way Spang et al (1980) originally did it. I shall be submitting 2 or 3 radiocarbon dates in the near future.
So if we're talking Aguas Buenas material, I think I can be of some help. If it's anything later, and most of Drago is I believe, then I'm not the best. Concepcion and Chiriqui phase stuff from my samples around Volcan Baru are found in very small amounts, although I think there's a lot more at slightly lower altitudes.
I would also recommend Linares' 1968 on the Gulf of Chiriqui chronology.
