The highly dispersed nature of Panzaleo pottery throughout present-day Ecuador has led archaeologists to speculate about the pottery ' s origins and significance. Jijon y Caamano attributed the pottery ' s distribution to trade, and based on the large quantities of pottery recovered in the Ambato-Latacunga region of the central Ecuadorian highlands, he proposed that region as the probable locus of production. However. Porras suggests that inhabitants of the subtropical eastern Andean slopes, or montafta, were the original producers of Panzaleo.

The gradual exodus and ensuing dispersal of the makers of this ware could account for the diffuse distribution of the materials.
