Cauca culture (800–1200 CE) is a pre-Columbian culture from the Valle del Cauca in Colombia, named for the Cauca River. Middle Cauca culture dates from the 9 to 10th centuries CE.[1]
Their territory was near the present day city of Popayán, in the Calima River Valley.
Society
[edit]Archaeologists surmise that Cauca culture was organized into several related chiefdoms that traded and fought with each other.[1] They farmed and made ceramics and goldwork.
Artwork
[edit]Their art often featured avian imagery. Cauca culture art shared some similarities to Yotoco culture art.[1] They are known for ceramic slab figurines, representing humans–both female and male–with dramatically angular features.[2]
Goldwork
[edit]Cauca goldsmiths hammered and cast gold to create a range of figures and ornaments, including diadems and bracelets.[1] They created caricuri noserings from gold.[3]
