“…Th e prime criterion of selection for this group was the presence of decoration, which improves interpretative possibilities, as not only the textile structure, but also iconography is a signifi cant marker of cultural infl uences. Another criterion was the textiles' resemblance to those discovered in other Middle Horizon burials on the Northern Coast, such as those of Huaca Cao Viejo (Oakland Rodman and Fernández Lopez 2005: 120-127), or Chimu Capac (Oakland 2020). In both of those cases the fi ndings included pieces made with characteristic structures, such as red and white double cloth, slit and interlocked tapestry, as well as fabrics made with discontinuous warps and weft s and subsequently tie-dyed.Taking into consideration signifi cant similarities to fabrics discovered in the disturbed layers of the royal mausoleum at Castillo de Huarmey, such textiles have been considered as particularly important.…”

Peruvian tapestries are prestige textiles, known for their mosaic-like patterns made of multicoloured yarns. Numerous tapestry fragments from the Middle Horizon Period (650-1050 A.D.) were found at the Castillo de Huarmey archaeological site on the North Coast of Peru, where an intact Wari royal mausoleum was discovered. Relying on technological and iconographical analyses and, also on the context of the entire textile collection, a new Middle Horizon tradition associated with the expansion of Wari culture is proposed.

More than one hundred years ago, German archeologist Max Uhle excavated textiles and ceramics on the Huaca del Sol in the Moche Valley, Perú. This essay analyzes the textiles now housed in the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology of the University of California at Berkeley. The group is significant for the time period during the Andean Middle Horizon (600-900 CE), the variety of textile styles, and the presence of Moche textiles on the north coast of Perú where textiles are not commonly preserved. The textiles identify at least three separate traditions: a local Moche style, a hybrid highland/coastal style and a Wari associated style. The essay discusses the Huaca del Sol textiles as an opportunity to examine relations between the two important Peruvian cultures of Moche and Wari.
