En la desembocadura del Chicama, bajo lo que después sería un montículo famoso, la gente vino y se fue. Capas estériles separan campamentos cortos. Entre hace unos quince mil y ocho mil años, según las fechas publicadas más citadas, hubo presencia humana intermitente en esa terraza: llegaban, usaban el lugar, partían, volvían siglos después.
La tecnología más antigua era mínima. Herramientas unifaciales de canto rodado. En los niveles más profundos no hay anzuelos ni arpones ni bifaces elaborados. Comían un mosaico: mariscos, peces, lobos marinos —probablemente atrapados o golpeados—, aves de mar, plantas y animales de humedal. Un poco de venado y plantas silvestres del interior. Ya en el Holoceno temprano aparecen restos de palta, calabaza, ají y mate junto a la comida del mar.
Pesas de piedra para trampas de totora aparecen en las síntesis del proyecto. La lectura social habla de cooperación horizontal: campamentos, no capitales. Lo importante de esta tarjeta no es el montículo negro posterior. Es la vida ordinaria de familias que comían del mar y del pantano con herramientas simples, mucho antes de levantar plataformas. Ese tramo largo de fogones discontinuos es una de las secuencias costeras mejor documentadas del Perú arcaico.

- **Chicama terrace forager companion (adult):** mature face, shorter dark hair, plant-fiber food satchel, skin wrap, calm focused expression; helps with reed traps, shellfish, or hearth ash; same premound toolkit.
- Lock identity across beats: same adult faces, hair, and light coastal clothing; unifacial pebble tools, small discontinuous hearths, wetland–delta terrace, reed-trap weights; adults-forward; PRE-MOUND flat terrace daily life only—do NOT hero the later Huaca Prieta mound; no pottery cities, Caral pyramids, Inca, Spanish colonial, gold, or metal.
