Pozuelo

Abstract

This article describes our archaeological research at Pozuelo, one of the earliest ceramic archaeological sites in the Chincha Valley, located on the southern coast of Peru. Our research confirms the stylistic relationships of Pozuelo ceramics with contemporaries from other sites on the south, central and north coast in the VIII and V centuries B.C. Coincidentally, this period also produced the most ceramics known in archaeological literature as “Chavinoid” or “Janabarroid.” Pozuelo represents the earliest manifestation of sedentarization, the production of social and labor spaces in the Chincha Valley, and endogenous social development. It is also associated with the more extensive Chavín phenomenon in the Andean area.
