A la napa freática le añadieron restos orgánicos, como espinazo de pescado, cuerpos en descomposición, etc. con el fin de nutrir ese suelo. A esta técnica se le conoce como macas o wachaques.
Cultivaron frijoles, algodón, calabaza, pallares, entre otros productos. Pero la actividad económica más importante fishing they did was obviously due to its proximity to the sea. ARCHITECTURE
