Pertaining to the MiddleHuamachuco period, apparently as rural contemporaries to the mainsite, are a number of semifortified hill-top settlements on the bordersof Lake Sausagocha. The second period of Marca Huamachuco is represented by wallsof the same general type of construction, but the stones are smaller,the walls are thinner, and, owing to faulty construction, they are moreruinous. These clearly overlie and postdate the more massive con-struction of the earlier period. The ceramics of this second period,termed Late Huamachuco, include an abundant plain ware decoratedwith applique, punched and incised designs, as well as a crudelypainted ware with red and black designs on a white slip. There is somesuggestion of Inca influence in both ceramic form and style, but thishorizon is believed to antedate the true Inca period. From the present.
