Abstract
This paper analyzes a selection of textiles excavated in 2013 in the destroyed late Middle Horizon (AD 800-1000) cemetery on Huaca del Sol, Huacas de Moche in the Moche Valley of northern Peru. The Huaca Sol textile group was woven with local, Moche style S-spun cotton yarns between AD 888-1050, calibrated radiocarbon dates along with a small number of Wari textiles, late Moche and Wari ceramics and ceramics in Casma and Cajamarca styles. Textile structure and design provide the basis for reconstruction into complete garment types known to other Middle Horizon collections on the central and southern coast where Moche S-spun cotton yarns contrast with southern cotton Z-spinning techniques. Finally, the paper discusses production methods and distribution of Moche-Wari men’s sleeved shirts and concludes that Moche spinners and weavers may have participated with Wari and other Moche and non-Moche groups in the production, use and distribution of late Middle Horizon textiles.
Esta ponencia analiza veinte textiles excavados en 2013 en el cementerio muy destruido del Horizonte Medio tardio (d.C. 800-1000) en Huaca del Sol, Huacas de Moche en el Valle Moche del norte de Peru. El grupo de textiles Huaca del Sol fue tejido de hilos de algodón local, estilo Moche, hilado en S entre d.C. 888-1050 (fechas 14C calibrados). Se ha identificado textiles Wari e imágenes Wari, asimismo se asociaron cerámica en estilos Moche, Wari, Casma y Cajamarca. La estructura y el diseño proveen la base para una reconstrucción de un tipo de trajes conocidos de otras colecciones del Horizonte Medio donde hilos de Moche S difieren de los hilos locales de algodón hilado en Z. La ponencia presenta métodos de producción y distribución de túnicas de hombre con mangas de los Moche tardíos del Horizonte Medio y concluye que las hiladoras y tejedoras Moches probablemente participaron con otros grupos Wari, Moche y no-Moche en producción, uso y distribución de textiles Horizonte Medio.
