Two modes of body decoration on giant face-neck human effigy jars found in the 2000b smashed offering at Conchopata. This mode depicts the "Super Pajaro" theme. The offering is best dated MH Epoch 1b, stylistically later than the jars from EA-205 and EA-208, but prior to the appearance of SAIS iconography at Conchopata (see Haeberli's discussion of the "Incursion," this volume). The yellow or orange background color means that this jar should be assigned to Menzel's Ocros style.
