[Aztlan] Caribbean hallucinogenic bowls discovery

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Inhaling bowls, shallow vessels with two adjacent spouts, are found on  
many Caribbean islands. They were used to snort hallucinogens. 3 of  
them were unearthed on the island of Carriacou in the Antilles. These  
were made around 400 BCE but the island was not settled till 400 CE  
and the mineral content of the bowls show they were not made on that  
island. So the bowls came from another island-possibly Puerto Rico-and  
were kept as heirlooms passed from generation to generation. The  
findings are detailed in The Journal of Archaeological Science.
