ABSTRACT This research has focused on the study of the public architecture of platform 1, at the El Campanario archaeological site, Huarmey valley. The archaeological intervention works have made it possible to identify how the architectural structure of platform 1 was designed to function as a space, where the elite that inhabited El Campanario carried out social, political and ideological events. The discovery of a wall with yellow friezes representing the fish “life” has allowed me to maintain that different ritual activities were carried out in the patio of platform 1, including the holding of feasts that the elite of El Campanario organized with the intention to legitimize their power. The fragments of ceramics modeled with Casma style incisions recovered in the excavation and according to the distribution area of the ceramics, from the Chao valley to the Huarmey valley, the El Campanario site was inhabited by social groups identified as Casma. The material remains recorded on platform 1 that served as constructive elements, allow me to argue that it was designed, built and renovated following Northwest architectural traditions. The use of wild cane in the foundations of adobe walls as a new construction technique is a clear example that part of our archaeological history remains incomplete. Similarly, bone remains of camelids have been found that show an application of red pigment. These skeletal remains were recovered on the patio of platform 1, possibly forming part of a practice, perhaps ritual, and for the moment no similar finding has been recorded in Peruvian archeology. Keywords: Casma culture, Casma ceramic, social stratification, monumental architecture.
