Excavaciones en la segunda muralla-sector Puente Lurín. Correlación estratigráfica de los estilos cerámicos durante el Horizonte Tardío en el santuario Pachacamac

Abstract

The excavations conducted in 1991 were the first to be carried out at the second wall of the Puente Lurin area – ZAM Pachacamac. Four excavations were made on both sides of the area. As a result of this, crucial information about the stratigraphic sequence of the construction and several changes that the second wall suffered in a short period of time could be found as well as the association between pottery styles whose developments dated back to the Late Horizon times in this sector of the city. The main purpose of this investigation is to identify the different pottery styles that gathered in this ceremonial center, and also determine as accurate by as possible, how contemporaneously styles are related that come from the valleys of Rimac, Chillon and some others near the site. Furthermore, the cultures that developed in those valleys shared stylistic characteristics along transverse and longitudinal routes, and of we attempt to do a revision of pottery styles that were located at the lower valleys mentioned, in order to build a framework regional knowledge.
