History Of Use
During the interval between the Huari-Tiahuanco (ca. 600-1000 C.E.) and the Inca Empire the area divided into small regional states, in which distinctive local ceramic styles developed (Lanning). In this period (ca. 1000-1576 C.E.) the Chancay Style, known as Chancay black-on-white emerged. Frequently, Chancay forms are tall, collared two handled jars and large hollow human figures (Willey).
