Abstract
This is a good, brief overview of Central Andean cultural sequences, major sites, and styles of the Early Intermediate Period. The authors examine the northern, central, and southern coastal areas, and the central and southern sierra of Peru. Some of the major cultures they describe are the Moche, Lima, Nasca, and Chiripa. The Early Intermediate Period is represented by a variety of centralized and dispersed political entities that emerged after the fall of the Chavin culture and before the rise of the Tiwanaku. Certain architectual and design elements from this period are found in the Tiwanaku and later Inca cultural traditions.
