Northern highland Peruvian culture centered on the Cajamarca basin, renowned for distinctive tripod ceramics and metalwork, and for the now-extinct Culli language; traded widely with coastal and distant Andean groups.
Declined as a distinct tradition through the Late Intermediate Period; the Cajamarca basin later fell within the Inca sphere (site of Atahualpa's capture, 1532) and Culli speakers were assimilated/extinct by the colonial era.
The atlas holds 4 border frames for Cajamarca culture — the shape you scrub through changes in 200 · 451 · 851 · 1251.
Broad survey of ancient Peru covering the northern highland Cajamarca tradition alongside Recuay, Moche, and other Early Intermediate/Middle Horizon cultures.
