Summary
A preliminary characterization of the Late Horizon in the Supe and Huaura valleys reveals significant cultural continuities and transformations among three iconic sites: Caral, Chimú Cápac, and Acaray. The study identifies distinct material culture elements, including architecture, funerary practices, ceramic styles, and occupation sequences associated with Inca, Chimú, and Chancay cultures. Using observational methodologies, field archaeology techniques, and cabinet analyses, researchers propose a nuanced sequence of cultural development in the region, shedding light on the complex interplay between these civilizations during the Late Horizon period.
