Quilcapampa’s Ceramics

View through CrossRef
A description of Quilcapampa’s ceramics in terms of paste, form, and iconography. The ceramics are divided into two broad groups. The first group relates to South coastal traditions, with the utilitarian ceramics coming from this group. The second group is Wari-related, coming from styles with origins from both the coast and highlands. We describe how Quilcapampa’s assemblage relates to other during the Middle Horizon, along with detailing the post-fired incision marks and, in a few cases, vessel breakage and dispersal patterns. In sum, we suggest that ceramics at Quilcapampa were unrelated to those manufactured locally in the Sihuas Valley with some pots imported from the Wari heartland and the rest closely emulating the kinds of vessels manufactured in the Peru South Coast region.
