MINOR PUBLIC BUILDING OF EXTENDED ARCHITECTURE G1
from Urban centers of Caral Civilization: 21 years recovering history on the Social System
by Caral Perú
52 m long and 30 m wide building, characterized by an extended configuration, achieved by organizing several adjacent platforms connected by openings and stairs. In the first stages, the building was arranged on a platform built on the lower slope of the Lurihuasi Mountain. On the platform, they built a ceremonial hall look- ing east. They covered the walls with fine plaster and white paint. Later, they built a series of platforms in the north and east to create secondary spaces. The last refurbishments provided the building with a monumental character, since they used large rocks that were vertically placed in the main façade to form a great anteroom.
