T h e high degree of simUarity throughout coastal Peru in the centuries before the beginning of the present era makes it feasable to present the dates available from the north coast as far north as Chicama Valley and the central coast southward to Ancon on one chronological column. Discussion of late preceramic times wUl range as far south as Engel's (1963) work
in the VaUey of Asia. Bird (1948) has provided much of the information on the preceramic culture of the Chicama and Vfru Valleys in the north. Most of the content of the coastal Chavin or Cupisinque Phase of this same region is the work of Larco Hoyle (1941, 1945b), who also has reported on grave goods of the Salinar-Puerto Moorin Phase (1944). T h e reports of
23 the Vfru Valley project In 1946 and 1947 by W. C.
Bennett (1950), CoUier (1955), Ford (1949), Strong and Evans (1952), and WUley (1953) have been used.
TeUo (1943) and Carrion Cachot (1948) deal with the Chavin Phase sites of Moxeke, Sechin, and Pallka in Casma. Uhle (1913) and WUley and Corbett (1954) have described work in the Ancon and Supe shell heaps. Excavations at Las Haldas are by Ishida, et al. (1960). Engel (1956) has reported on work at Curayacu.
Radiocarbon dates for the Vini VaUey sequence are discussed by CoUier (1955, pp. 24-26). In general, the radiocarbon dating for the Peruvian coast is almost as contradictory as that for the Lower Mis- sissippi Valley, but there are fewer assays involved.
Out of 23 avaUable, ten (43 percent) agree with the calendrical limits for the phases used here, and thirteen (57 percent) do not (table 13, pp. 39-40).
As in Mesoamerica, agriculture was practiced by the people living along the Peruvian coast a number of centuries before ceramics appeared. WhUe the sea continued to provide a major part of the food supply, bottie gourds, a species of squash, lima beans, pepper, jack beans, and probably achira seem to have been cultivated. Cotton makes its appearance about 3000 B.C. and seems to be crossed with an Asiatic variety with 13 chromosomes (Kidder, Lumbreras, and Smith, 1963, p. 92). Stonework was very crude, prin- cipally the manufacture of large rough flakes knocked off beach cobbles. Maize has been dated back to 1200 B.C. and it is now clear that this was an impor- tation from highland Mesoamerica, where its evo- lution has been demonstrated.
For the dating of the earliest ceramics on the Peru- vian coast, I have foUowed Matos (1962, and personal communication), who places the early pottery at Ancon at 1700 B . C , a few centuries after the earliest ceramics at Kotosh in the highlands. The resemblances are close. This interpretation views the period of initial plain ceramics in Viru Valley and Las Haldas (dated at 1200 B.C.) as a result of stimulus diffusion.
The increasing importance of agriculture as a way of life, undoubtedly due to the arrival of maize, is shown by the fact that principal sites began to be located away from the beach, back up the alluvial valleys, where there is arable land capable of being irrigated.
Stone masonry buUdings had already been in use in preceramic times, but the first appearance of re- ligious architecture is about 800 B.C By the beginning of the Classic coastal Chavin, Guafiape-Cupisnique
Phase (800-400 B . C ) , modest adobe flat-top pyramids are being constructed in north coast valleys, but in Casma Valley the large and complex pyramids are comparable to the highland Chavin site. The temple structures at Moxeke and Sechin are decorated with large sculptures in clay, and stele-lUce stones have human figures engraved on them in Chavin style.
Coastal Chavin ceramics have been well described and Ulustrated by Larco Hoyle (1941). Highly polished flat-base, stirrup-spout bottles are a typical form. Dec- orative techniques include wide-line incising, rocker stamping, brushing, and red painted areas zoned by incised lines. Already, there is a difference between domestic and religious ceramics, which becomes more pronounced in later phases.
Regional specialization of ceramics begins at the end of the Chavinoid Phase, about 400 B . C Larco Hoyle (1944) describes the north coast phase in Chi- cama as Salinar: it was named "Puerto Moorin" in Vini Valley. Vessel forms continue from the preced- ing Chavinoid Phase, as does zoned red decoration.
White-on-red painted decorations and bottles with spouts and flat bridges mark this horizon. T h e popu- lation of the flat valley floors where crops may be irrigated was increasing rapidly.
Izumi and Terada (1966) have recentiy published descriptions of three early phases investigated on the Rio Tumbes, just south of the Ecuador-Peru frontier.
Although the writer shall not present a chronological column for that region, the material is of great interest for comparative purposes.
The earliest phase, marked by San J u a n Coarse Incised ware (op. cit., pi. 25a), features broad-line incising with simple motifs, including the paneling of horizontal lines suggestive of Valdivia Incised. Red slip was also present. A radiocarbon date of 1830ib 130 B.C. (sample BC42, op. cit., p. 71) seems to be about right.
The Pechiche Phase has two dates: 370±130 B . C ; and 850dbl20 B . C (op cit., p. 71). This phase saw the introduction of white-on-red painting, negative painting, painting after firing, engraving, and pedestal bases for bowls.
The Garbanzal Phase shows many features shared with the RegionaU Developmental phases of Ecuador.
On the basis of these resemblances, it should date between 500 B . C and A.D. 500, but the four dates obtained from the top level of the Pechiche site in Garbanzal context, cluster about A.D. 1000-1100. The probable reasons for these apparent errors are dis- cussed by the authors (op. cit., pp. 71, 73).
