se traza la distribución de artefactos textiles y no textiles en una muestra de contextos relativamente bien documentados. La evidencia procedente de fardos complejos y más simples permite proponer un modelo del orden social, las relaciones de intercambio y los procesos históricos. Sobre la base de la reconstrucción de cada contexto mortuorio, la distribución de los tipos de artefactos, las asociaciones de género y las secuencias de prácticas mortuorias se aporta mejor evidencia para evaluar el rango social y los roles rituales. Los tipos y estilos de artefactos se agrupan de acuerdo a su presencia en los mismos contextos mortuorios para evaluar

The importance of headdress is indicated by its careful arrangement on the head of the recently deceased, display on the apex of a mortuary bundle, and prominent depiction in contemporary artifacts. In woven, embroidered or painted imagery, headdress elements include featherwork, the body of a bird or mammal, draped cloth or intertwined bands, often depicted as serpents. Due to their position above the human body, the headdresses are the most consistently preserved textile artifacts in tombs of the Paracas Necropolis mortuary tradition. Some elements appear only with men, others are found with both men and women and certain headcloths are unique to women. Diverse headdresses are present in each bundle, and the forms, materials and styles change among funerary contexts placed in the Necropolis of Wari Kayan and other sectors of the Paracas site between about 200 BCE and 200 CE. Therefore, headdresses provide insight into changing social identities, relationships to the landscape, and political alliances with neighboring societies linked to the late Paracas and early Nasca traditions, demonstrating a dynamic process of interaction and transformation on the south coastal region of the Central Andes.
