Abstract
Abstract This chapter addresses essential architectural features from one of the most representative civilizations of ancient Peru, referred to as Paracas by archaeologists. The research carried out is based on recently excavated archaeological contexts; we try to move beyond traditional typological and stylistic studies by placing the analytic emphasis on the architectural object as the basis of our interpretations. Our intent is to get closer—albeit partially—to the thought processes of ancient Andean societies. For that, we explore the immaterial and symbolic parts of the architecture, which allow us to apprehend religious, political, and economic dimensions that seem inseparable one from the other in this line of research.
