The Valdivia culture stands out for being one of the possible origins of ceramic production in South America (Barroso 2014) but works in other types of materials also stand out. Mention should be made of the punches made from the spines of fish fins, the carved shells, especially those of the Spondylus, Mactrella clisia and Dosinia dunkeri species, and the work in lithic material.
