Nazca kultura

**Nazca kultura** (također **Nasca**) je arheološka kultura koja je postojala od 100. do 800. n.e. na južnoj obali Perua, odnosno u porječju Rio Grande de Nazca i dolini Ica Valley (Silverman and Proulx, 2002). Na nju je snažno uticala ranija Paracas kultura, poznata po složenom tekstilu; Nazca kultura je, pak, proizvela niz impresivnih tehnoloških artefakata vezanih uz keramiku, tekstil te geoglife (od kojih su najpoznatije Nazca linije). Također je sagradila impresivni sistem podzemnih akvedukta, poznatih kao *[[puquios]]*, od kojih su neki i danas u upotrebi. Po toj kulturi i narodu je nazvana provincija Nazca u regiji Ica.
