Tradition and changes in the Lima ceramics of Huaca Pucllana

Abstract

This article presents the results of an analysis of ceramics from the site of Huaca Pucllana carried out by Isabel Flores, director of the Huaca Pucllana Archaeological Project. This research is approached from the perspective of chronological
diferentiation, arriving at the continuities and changes that occurred in ceramics at the site during its construction and occupation by the Lima society from 530-650 AD. Five pottery types were identified that relate to three constructive phases and a final occupational phase. This paper describes the technological, formal, and decorative aspects of said pottery.
