The image of pre-Hispanic molds is often associated with notions of standardization, repetitiveness and simplicity (of use and manufacturing). Going beyond these commonplaces means examining in greater depth the chain of technical gestures and operations necessary for its manufacture, from the preparation of the raw materials to its cooking. Far from emerging as a simple and quick process, the macroscopic analysis of a sample of Moche molds from the excavation of a recently discovered workshop at the site of Huacas de Moche (Trujillo, La Libertad), together with the information provided by the potters of the “campiña de Moche”, showed the existence of a complex and diversified chain of steps which implementation required specific knowledge and a certain degree of skill and technical ability. At the same time, based on the technological variability observed in the sample, the social and identitary dimension of the pottery production context is examined. The picture that emerges suggests a scenario in which various artisans, working under slightly different technological modalities, shared the same workspace and a baggage of knowledge and symbols.
