Abstract
Several attempts have been made in the past to recognize in prehistoric Ecuador the influence of various Peruvian horizon styles. These Peruvian influences, if real, are of considerable chronological and historical importance. It is my purpose to examine and assess them by considering three groups of Ecuadorean materials, namely, ceramics, gold, and gilded copper from Azuay, and carved stone from Manabí.In order to interpret fully the meaning of Peruvian resemblances in Ecuador, it is necessary to know the relative chronological position of the Ecuadorean materials showing these resemblances. Unfortunately, despite the advantage of a widely distributed Inca horizon style in Ecuador, which serves to identify the terminal phases of regional archaeological sequences, there is no satisfactory chronological system for the country as a whole, nor for any one of its regions.
