Abstract
Although there are obvious design relationships between the linear-mode textiles from Ocucaje, Paracas, and Nasca, the techniques used to make them have some interesting variations, which help to illuminate the cultural interactions that produced these pieces. The analysis focuses on examples from the collection of The Textile Museum in Washington, many of which are previously unpublished. An evaluation of the variations, including color schemes, from the point of view not only of their geographic origin but also of the chronology and settlement patterns, provides some interpretive insights on this complex but fascinating period.
