Excavations at the site of Cerro Baul near Moquegua, Peru have shown that this community was predominantly Wari, but in the later Middle Horizon Epoch B the occupation included a significant contingent of Tumilaca residents. This study examines over 1,979 flaked lithic artefacts from contexts that represent both Wari and Tumilaca residents. The data reveal that economic differentiation was an important factor that determined material use, and economic differentiation also strongly characterized social interaction. Differences in local and exotic material use reflect participation in socially organized procurement networks of varying scale, and economic and mechanical considerations figured strongly in implement usage. Furthermore, the membership of economic social groups crosscut ethnic boundaries. These interpretations contribute to our understanding of the socio-economic dynamics between cultural groups and support the hypothesis that class-organized inter-ethnic interaction was a probable development of the dynamic contact between the Wari and Tiwanaku expansive states during the Middle Horizon.
