The Cupisnique culture was a pre-Columbian indigenous culture that flourished from c. 1500 to 500 BC[1] along what now is Peru's northern Pacific coast. The culture had a distinctive style of adobe clay architecture.[2] Artifacts of the culture share artistic styles and religious symbols with the Chavin culture that arose in the same area at a later date.[3]
