Federico Kauffman Doig said: “This is due to its rich figurative ceramics, both the historical rate as the pictorial type.” With good reason, Horka Heimer said that represents a “picture dictionary.” The realistic nature of Moche pottery has been made that she is an invaluable source for knowledge of the life of this town.

They had perfect control of the corn, “better quality and performance than their predecessors.” Their crops were beans, cassava, pepper, peanuts, Lima bean, pumpkin, lucuma, pacae, cherimoya, etc. For the planting of the above products, the Mochica managed large-scale hydraulic works and was one of the best of old.
