Textiles de la cultura Nasca del proyecto arqueológico Nasca-Palpa al sur del Perú

A groundbreaking analysis of textiles from the Nasca-Palpa archaeological project reveals significant insights into the social organization and daily life of the Nasca culture (200 BC – 650 AD). The study, which includes textiles from burial sites, inhabited areas, and a sacred site near a geoglyph, demonstrates that settlements exhibited varying social characteristics over time, including differences in size, sectorial features, and societal status. Notably, this is the first comprehensive examination of textiles from all phases of the Nasca culture, providing unprecedented evidence of their use in residential, administrative, and religious contexts. The research highlights the multifaceted roles of textiles in Nasca society, from practical daily activities to ceremonial practices.
