Ancient Village in Ica State, Peru.
A settlement originated here in 1000 BC and within a few hundred years was sophisticated enough to have trading links indicated by non-native materials. However, by 100 BC the village appears to have become influenced by the nearby ceremonial center of Cahuachi, also in the Nazca Valley.
Dwellings, a workshop, and a cemetery have been found. Location is based on written, descriptions, surface photos and satellite views.
Note: Proto Empire control in pre-Inca Peru. See comment on possible methods by which the Nasca Culture dominated weaker holdings.
