Paracas

(pärä`käs), Native American culture of ancient Peru. Named after the Paracas peninsula on the south coast, where their remains were first found, the Paracas produced resin-painted pottery and textiles, but little is known of their way of life. The so-called Palpa Lines, which are similar to the nearby Nazca Lines but are earlier and are carved into hillsides, may be the work of the Paracas.

Paracas

an archaeological culture of settled farmers who lived along the southern coast of what is now Peru from the second half of the first millennium B.C. to the beginning of the Common Era. It was named after the Paracas Peninsula, where, in 1925, the archaeologist J. C. Tello first discovered a burial ground of this culture.

The initiators of the Paracas culture lived in small pisé houses. Among the crops they cultivated were maize, beans, pumpkins, and peanuts. They engaged in the gathering of shellfish and in fishing. Their pottery was very advanced and exhibited the marked influence of the Chavin culture in its decoration. The Paracas culture also exhibited highly developed textile weaving of cotton and wool and knitting and wickerwork, by which means fishnets were made. The dead were buried in a sitting position in underground chambers or in shallow graves. The burials were collective, apparently grouped by clans or families. The skulls were artificially deformed, some of them exhibiting traces of trepanation performed with obsidian implements, indicating an advanced knowledge of medicine.
