C. Until 600 d. C. It corresponds to the stage called regional developments, it has also been called the huaylas or santa culture. Like the other early intermediate cultures, little is known about this culture. The most accepted position is that it was an extension of the chavin culture, after the influence of the "white on red" style in the region. Regarding the political aspect of the recuay, there is a hypothesis that questions their autonomy and maintains that recuay would be part of one of the many political units that made up the moche state. The recuay style, characterized by its ceramics and stone sculpture, was initially described by eduard seler in 1893, based on ceramic specimens brought to the ethnographic museum in berlin by mariano m. Macedo. Seler named this style of pottery recuay, based on the report that these pieces had been found in the town of recuay. Later studies showed that this characteristic pottery was not originally from recuay but from copa, near carhuaz, for which reason the name change to that of this town was proposed. Eventually the name of huaylas was used for this culture. In 1919 julio c. Tello explored the area and recovered lithic sculptures and recuay-type ceramics. In the 1960s rafael larco hoyle proposed changing the names of recuay and copa to santa, arguing that the recuay style had originated in the coastal regions of the santa valley. However, the name recuay has persisted. Its chronology is also highly debatable. The time of its origin between 0 and 200 ad is discussed. C. And its end or collapse is commonly set to 600 d. C. Probably caused by the invasion of the huari conquerors. It encompassed almost the entire callejón de huaylas, a narrow valley fed by the santa river and enclosed between two mountain ranges, the cordillera blanca to the west and the cordillera negra to the east. Its influence extended to the east to the marañón river basin and to the west to the upper parts of the santa, casma and huarmey valleys. To the north it reached the town of pashash, in the province of pallasca. The copa area, marca district, recuay province, ancash department seems to have been the center or main nucleus of cohesion of this culture. The name of the culture would then be justified, derived from the province of the same name. Other important settlements were those of huilcahuaín (near the current city of ancash), cátac, araucay, tambo, jancu, upayacu and pashash (near the current city of cabana). Its main form of expression of art was through stone work (carving and masonry), inherited from its predecessor, the chavín culture. In addition, they made sculptures in lumps that represent warriors with shields or trophy heads, with which they decorated their complex architectural constructions. They also made white clay pottery in a wide variety of shapes and a textile that reproduced the designs of the pottery. Title: chair of power.
