Pestle, 700 BC-1. Size suggests that this Chav?n-style mortar and pestle, if functional, were not used to grind bulky staples like corn, but instead perhaps pigments or the hallucinogens apparently used in Chav?n religious rites. This set may come from the highland site Pacopampa, which adopted Chav?n deities and worshiped them alongside its own. Thus, these small sculptures illustrate the appeal and spread of Chav?n religion.
