Their society was highly stratified, with a ruling elite presiding over a complex system of social classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of the Chim\u00fa is characterized by its remarkable urban, architectural and artisanal development, with Chan Chan being one of the largest adobe urban centers in antiquity. This city was composed of nine large palace complexes, plazas, warehouses and a vast network of irrigation canals, which demonstrates the high level of social organization and skill in the management of water resources in a desert environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-ce1a9eb0\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Influences and cultural exchanges<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While Chim\u00fa ceramics present their own distinctive characteristics, the influence of contemporary and predecessor cultures is also evident in their art. There are elements that refer to the iconography of the Moche culture, a direct ancestor of the Chim\u00fa in the northern region of Peru. Likewise, certain aspects of ceramic technology may have been influenced by exchanges with other Andean cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chim\u00fa ceramics also show an openness to new influences in the late period of its development, particularly after the expansion of the Inca empire. This cultural contact is reflected in some stylistic and technical variations, which shows the adaptive capacity and dynamism of the Chim\u00fa artisans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\"
