| Summary | "Chincha Plain-Weave Cloths" by Lila M. O'Neale, along with other contributors, is a scientific publication in the field of anthropology, specifically focusing on textile analysis. Written in the mid-20th century, this study highlights the findings related to ancient Peruvian textiles, particularly those excavated from the Chincha region. The book explores various aspects of these textiles, including their dimensions, techniques, colors, and uses, offering valuable insights into the historical significance of cloth-making in the Chincha culture. The content of the book primarily revolves around the analysis of over a hundred plain-weave cloths collected from various Chincha sites. The authors meticulously document the materials, measurements, and craftsmanship of these fabrics, noting their utilitarian characteristics and the techniques used in their creation. The study finds that while most cloths served practical purposes, a few may have originated as garments. The investigation also uncovers information about stitching, mending practices, and the patterns present within the textiles, predominantly stripes. Overall, this publication serves as a detailed record of the technical and cultural aspects of Chincha plain-weave textiles, contributing to the broader understanding of pre-Columbian Peruvian crafts.
