Abstract
The author explores inter-valley differences seen between the ceramic art styles of the Santa Valley and other Moche areas. The findings and excavations of the Santa Valley Project of the Université de Montréal are reported. At least five local ceramic production centers have been identified, with the range of pottery styles in the valley indicating provincial identity. Evidence for Moche presence in the Santa Valley is examined, concentrating on settlement patterns and ceramics. The Moche resided in the lower valley during Phase III, and undertook extensive irrigation projects during a relatively long and late Phase IV (1500-1300 BP), coexisting with the local Gallinazo population.
