Agriculture

Nazca subsistence was based largely on agriculture. Pictures on ceramics indicate that the Nazca people had a varied diet, including:

  •     Maize (or corn)
  •     Squash
  •     Sweet potato
  •     Beans
  •     Manioc (also known as Yuca)
  •     Achira
  •     Small amounts of fish
  •     Peanuts

See if you can make out the plants and animals in these icons from Nazca art below.
