Abstract
Massey addresses Paracas political leadership in the lower Ica Valley, drawing on archaeological reconnaissance focused on architecture and pottery production, supplemented by examination of possible influences on ceramics from the Topará subtradition and the Nazca tradition. The evidence reveals that the Callango Basin was likely the social and political center during a circa 300-200 BC period of unification of polities throughout the middle and lower Ica Valley, marked by a notable uniformity in the style of locally produced ceramics.
