  There 
  is 
  frequent 
  use 
  of 
  applied 
  fringes 
  and 
  tassels, 
  and 
  borders 
  of 
  

   small 
  insets 
  of 
  tapestry. 
  Slings 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  great 
  numbers, 
  made 
  by 
  

   a 
  combination 
  of 
  braiding 
  and 
  warp-weave 
  tapestry. 
  Textile 
  designs 
  

   are 
  essentially 
  geometric 
  in 
  spite 
  of 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  small 
  conventionalized 
  

   bird 
  and 
  animal 
  figures. 
  Small 
  design 
  units 
  are 
  either 
  arranged 
  in 
  

   horizontal 
  bands 
  and 
  slanting 
  rows 
  or 
  framed 
  in 
  squares, 
  diamonds, 
  

   and 
  lozenges. 
  The 
  textiles 
  show 
  some 
  unusual 
  parallels 
  with 
  Chimu 
  

   pieces 
  from 
  the 
  North 
  Coast, 
  implying 
  widespread 
  contacts. 
  

  

  In 
  general, 
  the 
  Late 
  Period 
  on 
  the 
  South 
  Coast 
  is 
  hard 
  to 
  character- 
  

   ize. 
  Weaving 
  and 
  ceramics 
  were 
  equally 
  developed, 
  and 
  utilitarian 
  

   objects 
  and 
  ornaments 
  were 
  made 
  of 
  gold, 
  silver, 
  copper, 
  and 
  bronze 
  

   (pis. 
  57, 
  c, 
  d; 
  58, 
  b). 
  The 
  architecture 
  is 
  competent 
  but 
  not 
  unusual. 
  

   Little 
  can 
  be 
  implied 
  about 
  the 
  social 
  and 
  political 
  organization. 
  

   The 
  whole 
  area 
  fell 
  to 
  the 
  Inca 
  with 
  little 
  resistance, 
  and 
  their 
  social 
  

   organization 
  dominates 
  the 
  scene. 
  

  

  THE 
  LATE 
  PERIODS: 
  CENTRAL 
  COAST 
  

  

  Most 
  of 
  the 
  Late 
  Periods 
  on 
  the 
  Central 
  Coast 
  following 
  the 
  Middle 
  

   Periods 
  are 
  heavily 
  influenced 
  either 
  by 
  the 
  Chimu 
  style 
  from 
  the 
  

   North 
  Coast 
  or 
  by 
  the 
  Inca 
  style 
  from 
  the 
  Central 
  Highlands. 
  At 
  

   the 
  ruins 
  at 
  Pachacamac, 
  a 
  pure 
  Inca 
  Period 
  is 
  found 
  preceded 
  by 
  a 
  

   style 
  which 
  shows 
  this 
  combined 
  influence. 
  Black 
  ware 
  double 
  jars, 
  

   aryballoid 
  shapes, 
  collar 
  jars 
  with 
  flat 
  hardies, 
  and 
  stirrup-spout 
  

   vessels 
  all 
  demonstrate 
  this. 
  Face-collar 
  jars 
  with 
  handles 
  painted 
  on 
  

   the 
  body 
  of 
  the 
  vessel 
  are 
  a 
  local 
  element 
  in 
  the 
  mixture. 
  Elsewhere 
  on 
  

   the 
  Central 
  Coast, 
  the 
  same 
  situation 
  exists. 
  In 
  some 
  sites, 
  the 
  

   predominance 
  of 
  the 
  Chimu 
  style 
  is 
  great 
  enough 
  to 
  suggest 
  an 
  actual 
  

   extension 
  of 
  the 
  Chimu 
  culture 
  itself. 
  

  

  CHANCAY 
  BLACK-ON- 
  WHITE 
  

  

  An 
  exception 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  picture 
  of 
  Late 
  Periods 
  on 
  the 
  Central 
  

   Coast 
  is 
  a 
  Black-on-white 
  style 
  found 
  at 
  several 
  places 
  in 
  the 
  Chan- 
  

   cay, 
  Anc6n, 
  and 
  Kimac 
  Valleys. 
  The 
  ceramics 
  (pi. 
  47) 
  are 
  composed 
  

   of 
  thin 
  porous 
  red 
  or 
  orange 
  clay, 
  covered 
  by 
  a 
  scaly 
  white 
  slip 
  over 
  

   which 
  are 
  painted 
  black 
  or 
  dark-brown 
  designs. 
  Stripes, 
  both 
  wide 
  

   and 
  narrow, 
  single 
  and 
  grouped, 
  are 
  typical, 
  and 
  other 
  common 
  ele- 
  

   ments 
  are 
  rows 
  of 
  dots, 
  wavy 
  lines, 
  cross-hatch, 
  toothed 
  diagonals, 
  

   and 
  small 
  birds 
  or 
  animals. 
  For 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  the 
  designs 
  are 
  skill- 
  

   fully 
  applied. 
  Bowls 
  and 
  dishes 
  are 
  found, 
  but 
  two 
  ceramic 
  shapes 
  

   are 
  dominant 
  : 
  a 
  goblet 
  and 
  an 
  elongated 
  globular 
  vessel 
  with 
  a 
  bulging 
  

   collar 
  which 
  is 
  frequently 
  decorated 
  with 
  a 
  face 
  and 
  two 
  loop 
  handles. 
  

  

  All 
  evidence 
  indicates 
  that 
  the 
  Chancay 
  Black-on-white 
  style 
  is 
  

   late, 
  and 
  probably 
  contemporaneous 
  in 
  part 
  with 
  Inca. 
  The 
  absence 
  

   of 
  definite 
  Inca 
  or 
  Chimu 
  influence 
  is 
  interesting. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  

   distinctive 
  style 
  in 
  the 
  Late 
  Periods 
  of 
  the 
  Central 
  Coast, 
  and 
  it 
  dem-
