By: Silverman, Helaine.
Abstract
Silverman revisits Tello’s early twentieth century writings on the ceramics he recovered from the Paracas Peninsula, focusing on the proposition that they reveal ethnic differentiation on the south coast of Peru during the late Early Horizon and early Early Intermediate Period (largely Paracas/Ocucaje 8-Nazca 2 phases; only Nazca, and relevant Topará, Paracas Necrópolis and Ocucaje 10 subtradition subject matter are indexed for content). Also considered are textiles, settlement patterns, dating, burial practices, and trepanation, among other diagnostic traits.
