【 摘 要 】

Both human groups and some animal species share the custom of ingesting certain kinds of earth as a dietary complement, nevertheless, there is little archaeological evidence of this practice. The preparation of edible earth resulted in a peculiar kind of artifact that has been preserved and recovered from archaeological sites at Atacames and Japoto in the coast of Ecuador. In this paper these artifacts are described and their possible uses are discussed.
