  (pi.

  Weaving 
  art 
  is 
  well 
  developed 
  and 
  includes 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  

   known 
  techniques. 
  Intricate 
  and 
  ambitious 
  tapestries 
  are 
  the 
  most 
  

   characteristic. 
  Other 
  frequent 
  techniques 
  are: 
  brocade; 
  warp-pat- 
  

   tern 
  weaving; 
  double-cloth; 
  painted 
  cloth 
  ; 
  both 
  square 
  and 
  flat 
  braid- 
  

   ing; 
  velvet 
  or 
  pile-knot, 
  particularly 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  squared 
  hats; 
  

   interlocking 
  warp; 
  knitting; 
  some 
  embroidery; 
  and 
  tie-dye 
  patch- 
  

   work. 
  Red 
  and 
  yellow 
  are 
  the 
  typical 
  yarn 
  colors, 
  plus 
  tan, 
  brown, 
  

   orange, 
  and 
  blue. 
  The 
  textile 
  designs 
  show 
  a 
  close 
  relationship 
  to 
  

   Highland 
  Tiahuanaco. 
  Pumas, 
  condors, 
  human 
  heads, 
  and 
  human 
  

   figures 
  are 
  remarkably 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  stone-carving 
  designs 
  on 
  the 
  

   "Gateway 
  of 
  the 
  Sun" 
  and 
  on 
  statues. 
  In 
  fact, 
  the 
  textile 
  patterns 
  

   furnish 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  keys 
  for 
  the 
  relationship 
  of 
  Coast 
  and 
  Highland 
  

   Tiahuanaco. 
  

  

  No 
  buildings 
  have 
  been 
  associated 
  with 
  the 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco-A 
  

   subperiod 
  except 
  a 
  rough 
  stone 
  wall 
  at 
  Pachacamac. 
  Presumably, 
  

   other 
  buildings 
  at 
  that 
  site, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  parts 
  of 
  Chanchan 
  and 
  others 
  

   were 
  built 
  during 
  the 
  period. 
  So 
  far, 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco-A 
  materials 
  

   have 
  been 
  found 
  mostly 
  in 
  cemeteries 
  and 
  rarely 
  in 
  habitation 
  sites 
  

   or 
  in 
  positive 
  association 
  with 
  buildings. 
  

  

  At 
  Pachacamac, 
  the 
  burials 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  bale-shaped 
  mummies 
  

   with 
  false 
  heads 
  of 
  metal, 
  wood, 
  clay, 
  or 
  painted 
  cloth. 
  The 
  bundles 
  

   are 
  found 
  in 
  conical 
  or 
  cylindrical 
  chambers 
  lined 
  with 
  stones 
  or 
  adobes 
  

   and 
  covered 
  with 
  stone, 
  cane, 
  matting, 
  or 
  wood. 
  On 
  the 
  South 
  Coast, 
  

   the 
  large 
  urns 
  might 
  have 
  served 
  for 
  burial. 
  Also 
  underground 
  cham- 
  

   bers, 
  covered 
  with 
  logs 
  and 
  hung 
  with 
  tapestries, 
  have 
  bee 
  a 
  reported 
  to 
  

   contain 
  bundle 
  burials 
  of 
  the 
  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco-A 
  style. 
  

  

  Little 
  attention 
  has 
  been 
  paid 
  to 
  other 
  artifacts 
  associated 
  with 
  the 
  

   Coast 
  Tiahuanaco-A 
  style. 
  At 
  Pachacamac 
  are 
  spindle 
  whorls 
  of 
  clay, 
  

   bone, 
  and 
  stone 
  with 
  incised 
  designs; 
  wooden 
  staffs; 
  bone 
  spatulas 
  with 
  

   carved 
  heads; 
  shell, 
  bone, 
  and 
  teeth 
  amulets; 
  and 
  small 
  wooden 
  scales. 
  

   There 
  is 
  no 
  mention 
  of 
  metals, 
  although 
  presumably 
  copper, 
  bronze, 
  

   gold, 
  and 
  silver 
  were 
  utilized. 
  At 
  Ancon, 
  solid 
  clay 
  figurines 
  are 
  

   associated. 
  

  

  COAST 
  TIAHUANACO-B 
  

  

  Coast 
  Tiahuanaco-B 
  materials 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  at 
  Pachacamac, 
  

   although 
  not 
  clearly 
  isolated; 
  in 
  Late 
  Ancon-I; 
  at 
  Chancay; 
  at 
  Huaca 
  

   de 
  la 
  Cruz, 
  Taitacantin, 
  and 
  Huaca 
  Larga 
  in 
  Viru 
  Valley; 
  in 
  one 
  iso- 
  

   lated 
  grave 
  at 
  the 
  Huaca 
  del 
  Sol; 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  stylistic 
  influence 
  in 
  Middle 
  

   Ica-II 
  in 
  the 
  lea 
  and 
  Nazca 
  Valleys. 
  

  

  The 
  style 
  is 
  characterized 
  by 
  geometric 
  designs 
  painted 
  in 
  black, 
  

   white, 
  and 
  red. 
  The 
  typical 
  vessel 
  shapes 
  are: 
  round-bottom 
  cups, 
  

   annular-base 
  bowls, 
  squared 
  stirrup-spout 
  jars; 
  face- 
  or 
  plain-collar 
  

   jars 
  with 
  two 
  small 
  handles 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  collars; 
  and 
  flaring-collar 
  

   bowls 
  with 
  two 
  flat 
  rim-to-body 
  handles.
