  (2) 
  Nieveria. 
  — 
  Local 
  collections 
  in 
  the 
  Rimac 
  Valley 
  contain 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  

   Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  style. 
  The 
  collection 
  excavated 
  at 
  Nieveria 
  is 
  no 
  exception, 
  

   but 
  is, 
  unfortunately, 
  badly 
  mixed. 
  In 
  the 
  published 
  analysis 
  of 
  this 
  material 
  

   (Gayton, 
  1927), 
  the 
  strains 
  called 
  Tiahuanaco 
  Epigonal 
  and 
  Nazca-Y 
  definitely 
  

   pertain 
  to 
  the 
  Middle 
  Periods. 
  

  

  (3) 
  Ancon. 
  — 
  The 
  excavated 
  grave 
  materials 
  from 
  the 
  large 
  cemetery 
  at 
  Anc6n 
  

   were 
  divided 
  by 
  Strong 
  (1925) 
  into^several 
  periods. 
  Of 
  these, 
  Middle 
  Anc6n-I, 
  

   Middle 
  Anc6n-II, 
  and 
  Late 
  Anc6n-I 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  Periods. 
  

   The 
  stylistic 
  division 
  of 
  these 
  three 
  groups 
  is 
  confirmed 
  in 
  part 
  by 
  grave 
  depths 
  

   and 
  grave 
  stratigraphy. 
  Middle 
  Anc6n-I 
  has 
  an 
  Epigonal 
  style 
  associated 
  with 
  a 
  

   local 
  incised 
  red 
  ware. 
  Late 
  Anc6n-I 
  is 
  a 
  Black-white-red 
  Geometric 
  style. 
  In 
  

   gereral, 
  Uhle's 
  sequence 
  at 
  Pachacamac 
  is 
  confirmed 
  by 
  the 
  Anc6n 
  analysis. 
  

  

  (4) 
  Chancay. 
  — 
  At 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  La 
  Calera 
  de 
  Jecuan, 
  35 
  graves 
  were 
  excavated 
  

   which 
  contained 
  various 
  Middle 
  Period 
  styles, 
  all 
  mixed 
  together. 
  Probably 
  

   more 
  excavation 
  would 
  allow 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  to 
  be 
  distinguished 
  as 
  periods. 
  

  

  (5) 
  Supe. 
  — 
  A 
  mixed 
  collection 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  San 
  Nicol&s. 
  Careful 
  

   analysis 
  (Kroeber, 
  1926 
  b) 
  allowed 
  this 
  mixture 
  to 
  be 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  dominant 
  

   Middle 
  Period 
  styles, 
  although 
  further 
  excavation 
  is 
  needed 
  to 
  confirm 
  this. 
  

  

  (6) 
  Viru. 
  — 
  Local 
  collections 
  in 
  the 
  Virti 
  Valley 
  contain 
  quite 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  Coast 
  

   Tiahuanaco 
  materials. 
  The 
  excavated 
  sites 
  of 
  Huaca 
  de 
  la 
  Cruz, 
  Huaca 
  Larga, 
  

   and 
  Taitacantfn 
  contained 
  the 
  Black-white-red 
  Geometric 
  style. 
  At 
  Huaca 
  de 
  la 
  

   Cruz 
  the 
  graves 
  which 
  contained 
  this 
  style 
  of 
  material 
  were 
  intrusive 
  in 
  the 
  

   Mochica 
  levels. 
  

  

  (7) 
  Moche. 
  — 
  On 
  a 
  platform 
  of 
  the 
  Huaca 
  del 
  Sol 
  at 
  Moche, 
  both 
  Coast 
  

   Tiahuanaco 
  style 
  fragments 
  and 
  graves 
  have 
  been 
  found. 
  Other 
  graves 
  contain 
  

   the 
  Black-white-red 
  Geometric 
  style. 
  This 
  in 
  part 
  suggests 
  the 
  triple 
  division 
  

   found 
  at 
  Anc6n 
  and 
  Pachacamac. 
  The 
  Huaca 
  del 
  Sol 
  site 
  contained 
  a 
  pressed- 
  

   relief 
  ware 
  and 
  a 
  style 
  called 
  Queneto 
  associated 
  with 
  the 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco. 
  

   Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  pieces 
  have 
  also 
  been 
  found 
  at 
  Chanchan, 
  near 
  Trujillo, 
  but 
  

   without 
  excavation 
  [notes. 
  Local 
  collections, 
  presumably 
  from 
  the 
  ruins 
  of 
  

   Chanchan, 
  contain 
  several 
  other 
  styles 
  which 
  are 
  probably 
  contemporaneous 
  

   and 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  Middle 
  Periods. 
  These 
  include 
  Cursive 
  Modeled, 
  Cursive 
  

   Tripod, 
  Black-white-and-red 
  Recuoid, 
  and 
  Red-and- 
  white 
  Chanchan 
  styles. 
  

  

  (8) 
  Chicama. 
  — 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  styles 
  are 
  common 
  in 
  Chicama 
  Valley, 
  but 
  

   the 
  only 
  recorded 
  excavation 
  is 
  at 
  a 
  site 
  called 
  Pata 
  de 
  Burro. 
  The 
  Chicama 
  

   Valley 
  seems 
  to 
  represent 
  the 
  northernmost 
  limit 
  of 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  Coast 
  

   Tiahuanaco 
  style 
  in 
  its 
  pure 
  form. 
  Influences 
  have 
  been 
  noted 
  in 
  the 
  valleys 
  to 
  

   the 
  north, 
  but 
  no 
  clear-cut 
  period 
  has 
  been 
  isolated. 
  

  

  (9) 
  Chincha 
  and 
  Cariete. 
  — 
  South 
  of 
  Pachacamac, 
  the 
  evidence 
  for 
  the 
  Coast 
  

   Tiahuanaco 
  is 
  more 
  confused. 
  In 
  the 
  Chincha 
  and 
  Canete 
  Valleys 
  excavations 
  

   have 
  still 
  not 
  uncovered 
  any 
  clear-cut 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  styles. 
  (Middle 
  

   Canete, 
  presumably 
  of 
  the 
  Middle 
  Periods, 
  does 
  not 
  show 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  

   influences. 
  See 
  fig. 
  12.) 
  

  

  (10) 
  lea. 
  — 
  Middle 
  Periods 
  in 
  the 
  lea 
  Valley 
  have 
  been 
  designated 
  (Kroeber 
  and 
  

   Strong, 
  1924 
  b) 
  as 
  Epigonal, 
  Middle 
  Ica-I, 
  and 
  Middle 
  Ica-II. 
  The 
  ceramics 
  of 
  

   all 
  three 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  vaguely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco. 
  The 
  textiles, 
  

   however, 
  show 
  a 
  much 
  closer 
  relationship. 
  

  

  (11) 
  Nazca. 
  — 
  The 
  Middle 
  Ica-I 
  and 
  Middle 
  Ica-II 
  styles 
  are 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  

   Nazca 
  Valley 
  in 
  the 
  sites 
  excavated 
  by 
  Uhle. 
  The 
  lea 
  Epigonal 
  is 
  replaced 
  by 
  

   the 
  Nazca-Y 
  style, 
  which 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  vague 
  transition 
  from 
  the 
  earlier 
  Nazca 
  

   Period 
  to 
  the 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco. 
  Other 
  sites 
  in 
  the 
  Nazca 
  Valley, 
  however, 
  

   contain 
  excellent 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  material. 
  The 
  site 
  of 
  Pacheco, 
  although 
  

   not 
  adequately 
  described, 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  have 
  large 
  urns 
  and 
  other 
  vessels 
  with 
  

   complex 
  painted 
  designs 
  clearly 
  of 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  style.
