Tuncahuán
The Tuncahuán phase culture flourished in the central highlands of Ecuador, and is believed to be traced back to 500 BCE to 500 CE.The first to describe Tuncahuán phase was the Ecuadorian archaeologist Jacinto Caamano Jijón and early twentieth century, based on its investigation five graves in a cemetery.A container collection Tuncahuán at SFU is a fountain with pedestal, or compote, with a high base ring which supports a single source without restriction.There is a handprint inside the source could have been made by the potter when collected and his hand was wet with white slip.As there are no excavations on sites currently which were occupied during the Tuncahuán phase, archaeologists know little about the way of life of the people who produced these ceramics.
