  time 
  with 
  the 
  Mochica 
  on 
  the 
  North 
  Coast 
  and 
  Nazca 
  on 
  the 
  South 
  

   Coast. 
  The 
  neglect 
  was 
  caused 
  in 
  part 
  by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  elaborate 
  

   remains 
  and 
  outstanding 
  styles 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  encountered, 
  and 
  in 
  

   part 
  by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  Early 
  Periods 
  were 
  obscured 
  by 
  the 
  abun- 
  

   dance 
  of 
  the 
  Tiahuanaco 
  Middle 
  Period 
  styles 
  on 
  the 
  Central 
  Coast. 
  

   It 
  has 
  now 
  been 
  demonstrated 
  that 
  two 
  styles 
  are 
  definitely 
  assignable 
  

   to 
  the 
  Early 
  Central 
  Coast 
  Period, 
  and 
  a 
  third 
  one 
  possibly 
  so. 
  These 
  

   three, 
  in 
  chronological 
  order 
  are: 
  the 
  White-on-red 
  style, 
  the 
  Inter- 
  

   locking 
  style, 
  and 
  the 
  Early 
  Lima 
  style. 
  

  

  WHITE-ON-RED 
  

  

  The 
  White-on-red 
  style 
  is 
  best 
  established 
  in 
  Chancay 
  Valley 
  at 
  

   the 
  sites 
  of 
  Cerro 
  de 
  Trinidad 
  and 
  Bafios 
  de 
  Boza. 
  At 
  the 
  first 
  site 
  

   the 
  White-on-red 
  style 
  is 
  stratigraphically 
  older 
  than 
  the 
  Interlocking, 
  

   and 
  both 
  are 
  demonstrably 
  older 
  than 
  the 
  Tiahuanaco 
  Middle 
  Periods. 
  

   The 
  White-on-red 
  ceramic 
  style 
  is 
  so 
  named 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  charac- 
  

   teristic 
  crude 
  white 
  painting 
  on 
  a 
  red-ware 
  base 
  (pi. 
  27, 
  b-e, 
  g). 
  

   Bowls 
  with 
  flaring 
  lips 
  and 
  horizontal 
  handles 
  and 
  mammiform 
  jars 
  

   are 
  the 
  most 
  typical 
  shapes. 
  Also 
  common 
  are 
  jars 
  with 
  wide 
  or 
  nar- 
  

   row 
  mouths, 
  and 
  cylindrical 
  or 
  flaring-sided 
  cups. 
  The 
  decorated 
  

   pieces, 
  both 
  fine 
  and 
  coarse, 
  can 
  be 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  categories, 
  a 
  white- 
  

   painted 
  (pi. 
  26, 
  a, 
  b) 
  and 
  a 
  white-zoned 
  (pi. 
  26, 
  c, 
  d). 
  In 
  the 
  white- 
  

   painted 
  group, 
  the 
  vessels 
  have 
  crudely 
  executed, 
  simple 
  designs 
  of 
  

   circles, 
  dots, 
  rectangles, 
  cross-hatch, 
  horizontal, 
  and 
  vertical 
  lines, 
  

   semicircles, 
  triangles, 
  and 
  broken 
  lines. 
  The 
  white-zoned 
  group 
  

   includes 
  vessels 
  either 
  completely 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  slip, 
  or 
  with 
  

   large 
  areas 
  so 
  covered. 
  Plain 
  red, 
  red-on-white, 
  and 
  two-color 
  nega- 
  

   tive 
  ware 
  are 
  less 
  common 
  types. 
  

  

  Architectural 
  remains 
  of 
  platforms 
  and 
  walls 
  made 
  of 
  hemispheri- 
  

   cal-shaped 
  adobes 
  are 
  associated 
  with 
  this 
  period. 
  Shallow 
  graves 
  in 
  

   the 
  dry 
  sand 
  contain 
  flexed 
  burials 
  covered 
  with 
  poles. 
  Some 
  graves 
  

   are 
  covered 
  by 
  a 
  rough 
  stone 
  vault. 
  Nonceramic 
  grave 
  goods 
  are 
  

   not 
  numerous 
  but 
  include 
  clay 
  figurines, 
  spindle 
  whorls 
  of 
  stone 
  or 
  

   clay, 
  fragments 
  of 
  wooden 
  objects, 
  some 
  plain 
  cloth, 
  shell 
  beads, 
  and 
  

   a 
  mask 
  of 
  a 
  gold-copper 
  alloy. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  trace 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  White-on-red 
  style 
  be- 
  

   cause 
  of 
  its 
  simplicity. 
  Some 
  have 
  compared 
  it 
  with 
  Middle 
  Supe 
  

   and 
  Middle 
  Ancon-II, 
  but 
  the 
  relationship, 
  if 
  any, 
  remains 
  obscure. 
  

   A 
  few 
  White-on-red 
  fragments 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  at 
  Pachacamac 
  in 
  

   the 
  oldest 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  Interlocking 
  Period. 
  Outside 
  of 
  the 
  Central 
  

   Coast 
  area, 
  some 
  materials 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  which 
  may 
  ultimately 
  

   correlate 
  with 
  this 
  Chancay 
  style. 
  The 
  White-on-red 
  style 
  found 
  at 
  

   El 
  Salinar 
  in 
  Chicama 
  Valley 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  mentioned 
  (p. 
  92). 
  Near 
  

   Huaraz 
  in 
  the 
  North 
  Highlands, 
  an 
  isolated 
  grave 
  contained 
  15 
  pieces 
  

   decorated 
  with 
  simple 
  designs 
  painted 
  in 
  white 
  on 
  a 
  red 
  base.
