Evidencias arqueológicas del Periodo Formativo en la cuenca baja del río Utcubamba y Chinchipe

Abstract

Archaeological Evidence of the Formative Period in the Lower Utcubamba and Chinchipe Basin

This short paper concentrates on evidence of monumental architecture near Bagua associated to polychrome ceramics. These belong to the Bagua Tradition as defined by R. Shady (probably Middle Formative) and hint at the presence of complexes with elite tombs similar to those in the northern coast.
