Wari y Cajamarca

Abstract

Wari and Cajamarca

This article summarizes the archaeological evidence for Wari presence in the Cajamarca basin, of Peru's north highlands. Artifacts from a private collection are discussed. Wari presence seems to be limited to a defined area, and totally absent outside it. Wari contact does not seem to have interrupted local Cajamarca culture, that continued uninterrupted development.
