Abstract
The materials upon which this study is based primarily consist of some 10,000 pottery specimens derived from the archaeological excavations conducted by Alfred Kidder II in 1939 at the site of Pucara (K. Chávez 1989a: 5-6). The excavations included ceremonial dumps or midden deposits along the river bank (Excavations I, II, and III), complex public architecture on the plain (Excavation IV), and two temples on terraces above (Excavations V and VI). In addition to these contexts, pottery was also found in offerings (Excavation I) and a burial (Excavation VI); what appeared to be a domestic structure in Excavation I was partially excavated, but clear pottery associations could not be determined (S. Chávez 1992: 51-83).
