GAMBOA VELASQUEZ, Jorge. IDENTIFYING TECHNIQUES USED TO CONSTRUCT MOCHE STIRRUP SPOUT BOTTLES FROM EL CASTILLO DE SANTA, NORTHERN COAST OF PERU. Bol. Mus. Chil. Arte Precolomb. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.9-23. ISSN 0718-6894.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-68942013000100002.

This report describes a previously unknown technique for constructing Moche stirrup spout bottles discovered at El Castillo de Santa, a Moche settlement that flourished in the second half of the Early Intermediate Period (300-600AD) on the northern coast of Peru. The site has been studied in recent years by the Santa Valley Project of the Université de Montréal. The author presents the specific steps involved in the technique and distinguishes it from other methods for making stirrup spouts known to date. This study demonstrates that multiple methods existed for producing Moche bottles and contributes to our understanding of diachronic and synchronic diversity in Moche ceramic technologies.

Palabras clave : Santa Valley; Moche III Phase; craft production; stirrup spout vessels.
