They also hunted deer, rabbit, guanta, puma, wolf, guinea pig and doves.

[1] They lived in small villages of rectangular huts of lath and mud with straw thatching.

Probably the most distinguishing feature of the Cotocollao natives was their ability to create ceramic artwork.

To make the ceramic, the Cotocollaos used a paste made of pumice powder.

From the thousands of fragments of ceramic found in the area today, about 20% of them are decorated in some form by incisions, red paint, and in some rare cases, an iridescent coating.
