RESIDENTIAL UNIT E1
from Urban centers of Caral Civilization: 21 years recovering history on the Social System
by Caral Perú
In the northeastern area of the Public Pyramidal Building E2, they built a complex residence, initially formed by a wide room with central fire pit, to which they added quadrangular rooms in its four sides in successive stages to increase its size horizontally in only one level. Afterwards, they subdivided the fire pit room in two spaces at different levels: one space with a central fire pit surrounded by benches; the other, in front of the former one, as an anteroom, is a rectangular space built on a platform. In each refurbishment they added platforms and benches, so they reduced spaces. The residential unit was no more than 25 m long.
