Pottery found at the site ranges from very large bowls likely used to prepare chicha, to simple earthenware bowls and other utilitarian wares, to European-style glazed pottery, to imported Asian porcelains. We have not begun our ceramics studies in detail.

Vessels made by native peoples appear to have followed older traditions of earthenwares made with simple, stylized geometric molded designs. It has been difficult to distinguish between pottery that was made before the Spanish arrival, and the disturbed contexts of so many ceramics makes the task more difficult.

Non-native ceramics include red wares with thick white slips and blue, green, or brown decorations. Most of these appear to have been shallow bowls or plates, presumably used by the Spanish or acculturated natives for eating. A few sherds of imported Asian porcelains also have been recovered.
