Abstract
This is a synthesis that aims to reconstruct the societal context for the existing archaeological record of Nazca material culture. The authors describe ceramics and iconography, sites and settlement patterns, the religious center of Cahuachi, agriculture, warfare, religion, ritual, and sociopolitical organization. They consider only phases 2-7 (ca. AD 1-700) as truly "Nazca," although coverage ranges from Nazca 1 or "Proto-Nazca" through Nazca 8 or "Loro" (ca. 200 BC-AD 800); all have been indexed for content within this collection.
