Contiene: The figuras follow the text, i.e., they are arranged according to the five regions of Islands, Coast, Mountains, Llanos and Orinoco river, subdivided into areas. Each region is introduced by a chronology chart, and each area by a map of its known sites. The styles are then illustrated in their presumed chronological order. In illustrating the styles, we have emphasized profiles, because of their importance as a criterion for classification, and painted designs, which show better on figures than on plates. The colors of the designs are indicated in the have had to limit ourselves to the primary colors. (As stated in the text, a given design will vary from red to maroon to black, depending upon the intensity of the firing to which each of its parts has been subjected). The term "plain" refers to an unpainted, clay surface, whatever its color may be. The drawings are based, insofar as possible, upon the collections from the type sites. Limitations of space have prevented us from identifying the specimens, and for the most part we have not considered it necessary to indicate scale.
