==Machalilla Culture==
The Machalilla were an agricultural people who also pursued fishing, hunting and gathering. Like many prehistoric cultures of coastal Ecuador, the people practiced artificial cranial deformation by using stones to flatten and lengthen their skulls.〔(Ecuador/The Galapagos Background ) ''Lonely Planet Accessed August 2, 2007.〕
Archaeologists focus on the unusual cemeteries of the Machalilla, in which bodies were settled beneath a ceramic turtle shell,〔(Exploring Ecuador: Machalilla ) Accessed August 2, 2007〕 and on their ceramic work in general, which represented artistic and technological advances in the art.〔(Pre-Columbian Art ) Embassy of Ecuador in Washington DC. Accessed August 2, 2007.〕 The Machalilla are credited with adding to the ceramic bottle the stirrup spout, in which two spouts join together into one opening: an invention that would be prominent in northwest South American pottery for centuries.〔 Archaeologists have also excavated ceramic pots, pitchers, whistles, candlesticks and human figures from Machalilla digs.
