Abstract
The authors describe textiles found during excavations at Pacatnamu in the Jequetepeque Valley, both garments and accessories, most of which came from burials. Included are the types of fibers used and how they were spun, woven (plain, twill, gauze, tapestry, etc.), and how the clothing and accessories were constructed and repaired. Comparisons are made with representations in Moche art. A table lists the textiles with enumeration of their features.
