  WILKAWAIN-TIAHUANACO 
  

  

  Near 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Huaraz 
  at 
  the 
  ruins 
  of 
  Wilkawain, 
  Coast 
  Tia- 
  

   huanaco-influenced 
  materials 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  stone-lined 
  box 
  

   graves 
  under 
  large 
  boulders; 
  in 
  house-site 
  refuse; 
  and 
  in 
  stone-lined 
  

   and 
  covered 
  tombs, 
  8 
  feet 
  (2.5 
  m.) 
  deep. 
  Although 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  

   styles 
  are 
  represented, 
  the 
  materials 
  clearly 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  period, 
  

   which 
  has 
  been 
  named 
  Wilkawain-Tiahuanaco 
  (fig. 
  15).

  The 
  different 
  ceramic 
  styles 
  which 
  are 
  found 
  together 
  in 
  the 
  deep 
  

   tombs 
  are: 
  (1) 
  Polished 
  red 
  ware 
  collar 
  jars, 
  open 
  bowls, 
  plates, 
  and 
  

   modeled 
  monkeys; 
  (2) 
  black 
  ware 
  straight-sided 
  goblets, 
  double 
  

   bowls, 
  and 
  double-spout 
  vessels, 
  all 
  without 
  pressed-relief 
  design; 
  

  

  (3) 
  two-color 
  negative 
  ware 
  high-collar 
  jars 
  and 
  shallow 
  plates; 
  

  

  (4) 
  orange 
  ware 
  two-handled 
  ollas, 
  goblets, 
  plates, 
  and 
  sieves; 
  (5) 
  

   painted 
  ware 
  with 
  from 
  two 
  to 
  four 
  colors, 
  always 
  on 
  a 
  red 
  or 
  orange 
  

   base. 
  The 
  designs 
  of 
  this 
  painted 
  ware 
  are 
  somewhat 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  

   Coast 
  Tiahuanaco 
  of 
  Middle 
  Ancon-I 
  and 
  Nazca-Y. 
  

  

  The 
  Wilkawain-Tiahuanaco 
  is 
  associated 
  with 
  stone 
  building, 
  not 
  

   only 
  in 
  the 
  stone-lined 
  graves 
  but 
  also 
  in 
  one-room, 
  above-ground 
  

   house 
  sites. 
  Three-story 
  temples 
  with 
  projecting 
  cornices 
  and 
  carved- 
  

   stone 
  puma 
  heads 
  set 
  in 
  the 
  walls 
  may 
  also 
  be 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  period. 
  

   Walls 
  are 
  made 
  of 
  split 
  stones 
  laid 
  in 
  horizontal 
  rows, 
  alternating 
  

   thick 
  and 
  thin. 
  No 
  dressed 
  stone 
  is 
  employed, 
  but 
  the 
  masonry 
  

   technique 
  is 
  reminiscent 
  of 
  Chavin. 
  However, 
  this 
  technique 
  is
