Abstract

Archaeometric analyses allow us to discover traces and features not only about components, or manufacturing structure of archaeological objects; they also make possible the interpretation of lifestyles of ancient cultures. Radiographs, probes with camcorder, along with the analysis of organic remains contained or iconographic interpretations suggest very interesting data to know more in depth the Jama Coaque culture of pre-Hispanic Ecuador.
