The Pinta Ceramic Phase. Explaining a Paracas ceramic phase from Cerro del Gentil

Summary

During the last five years, we have developed an archaeological research program in the southern Peruvian coastal valley of Chincha. This project focuses on the rise of the Paracas society ca. 800-200 BCE. We excavated the monumental Paracas site of Cerro del Gentil located in the Chincha mid-valley where we recovered an important ritual context in a sunken court related to the Pinta phase. The Pinta phase was defined by Dwight Wallace in 1950´s but not has been systematically described. In this paper, we describe the Pinta assemblage and contextualize it in a regional context of Paracas emergence.
