The set of knowledge that lies behind Tacabamba artisans’ conceptions of reserve dyeing has remained as traces that took root in the northern macro-region of Peru and part of southern Ecuador. From the analysis of evidence, we can see how this body of knowledge has circulated based on what Remy and Rostworowski (1992) call ‘discontinuous territorialities’, constituting objects that communicate identities. The intense relationship between Andean territories can be seen in the presence of words of Mochica origin in toponyms such as Tocmoche, Catamuche, Canchan. The use of cotton and the sharing of the reserve technique for making pañones, which had a wide circulation and use in the highlands and the coast, are evidence of shared identities.
