When and Where Did the Nasca Proliferous Style Emerge?

  • Chapter
Andean Archaeology III

Abstract

Nasca art and culture were among the first of Peru’s great indigenous civilizations to be defined. In the 19th century, looted specimens of Nasca art were already reaching the major museums of the world, where their distinctive style, artistic quality, and charm attracted the attention of the scholars whowould become the first generation of professional archaeologists. In the 1880s, young Max Uhle was working for the Museum für Völkerkunde, in Berlin, when he saw his first Nasca ceramics. Vowing to eventually discover their source, in February, 1901 he became the first archaeologist to document a cemetery containing polychrome Nasca pottery, located in Peru’s south coast Ica Valley (Proulx 1970: 1–44; Silverman and Proulx 2002: 1–3).
