[From the Original 1927 Catalog] On all sides there are necropolises in Chan Chan: Within and without the fortified places. But the most extensive of these are found between the dividing lines of the ravine which opens on the sea and first of the walled enclosures which mark the Chaiwak [Chaiuak, Tschudi, Rivero and Cabildo groups.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group—one of the most interesting is the closest to the Trujillo-Huanchaco road. It has been drilled into by the huaqueros in all directions. Its actual appearance is that of a jumble of mounds and works buried or pulled down. The central palace still has some decorated walls. Only on the northwest side are the remains of the double walls which may have surrounded it at one time still visible.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group is formed by a series of walled enclosures and the remains of both large and small buildings in good state of preservation. Here is also found decorated courts. The principal building is on the southeast. Traditionally this building is called the Convent of the Nuns or of the Niches. In the new nomenclature of the place it is given the name O'Donovan in honor of Mr. Henry O'Donovan a Trujillan gentleman who attempted some archaeological studies some 25 years ago and traced out a sectional plan of Chan Chan.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group of highly interesting works found in a good state of preservation situated to the northwest of the Gran Chimu group. Halfway between both of them runs a sort of avenue bearing from the northeast to the southwest. The Chilean, Colonel La Rosa, excavated it more than 40 years ago. Squier the archaeologist studied it and described it for which reason it bears his name.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] In this group are encompassed four views which pertain to diverse ruined works which do not form concrete sections similar to those mentioned in the foregoing lines and those which will be mentioned later but because they are interesting archaeologically are included here. These views referred to are from the northwestern and northeastern sectors of the city, with the exception of one taken in the center.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] Situated at 400 meters in the direction of the sea from the point where Trujillo-Huanchaco road enters Chan Chan. These interesting ruins are well preserved. This group is divided into two sections and each of these is subdivided into many others. The entire group is surrounded by an enormous rectangular wall. A modern road, now abandoned, which leads from the town of Huaman to Huanchaco cuts through it. The Tomb of Toledo is some 200 meters east-south-east of it.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group is much larger than the foregoing one and is not far from it. A narrow street some three meters wide runs between the northeast wall of the Uhle group and the southwest wall of Bandelier. It is entirely surrounded by a high wall which encloses the ruins in a square. This is also divided into many walled apartments. Those enclosed are the oldest and best preserved of the works. It is in one of these divisions that houses have been found preserving their original form. Also herein is preserved a field showing ancient cultivated furrows. This is not known to the tourists or the curiosity seekers. In front of its southwest wall within a space of 200 meters or more rise this Chaiuak and Tschudi groups. Between the southwest wall of the Uhle group and the northeast wall of Chaiuak are many ruins; wells, remains of villages, small enclosures, and platforms of artificial nature; but all are in a bad state of preservation.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group is one of the less complicated ones. It occupies but half or less than half of the area covered by the Uhle group. It is located southwest of the latter and the southeast of Tschudi which is separated from it by a narrow passageway only 15 meters wide. It contains an interesting tomb which is surrounded by small works and ancient "yapas" (gardens).

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group is situated to the northwest of Tschudi. It is not as large as that group. This is surrounded by a very high double wall. It is the only group having this characteristic. It is perfectly rectangular in form. The most notable work within its environs is that called the Tomb of the Mass from which has been taken many objects of great archaeological value both documentary and artistic such as metal vases and fabrics. It has been rifled in recent times in a very crude manner.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group of great extent is located in the second line of works further inland than the Chaiuak [Chaiwak], Tschudi and Rivero groups. It is rectangular in form and is surrounded by a great wall. On the southeastern side the wall is double and is relatively well preserved in some sections. This wall is different than the others in two essential details. It has no tomb or high main building but in place of these it has a sort of a stadium occupying about a fourth of the area. The most characteristic thing it encloses is "the Labyrinth" a group of small constructions which although raised on a strictly geometric plan give the effect of a labyrinth. A plan of this section has been made.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] Here is a series of constructions grouped together bearing the name of the first Peruvian archaeologist, Julio C. Tello, located in that vast territory bounded by the Trujillo-Huanchaco road on the northeast and the Tschudi and Rivero groups on the southwest: the Bandelier and Uhle groups on the southeast and the Cabildo and Velarde groups on the northwest. The general aspect is one of ruined walls, mall mounds, wells, rubbish heaps in all directions, cemeteries, remains of ordinary habitations, etc. Near the eastern angle of the Cabildo group remains a small building in good state of preservations.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group takes its name Velarde from the Prefect pf Trujillo Don Carlos Aureo Velarde who accidentally discovered in it some walls covered with magnificent designs in high relief in 1905 or 1906. These walls have been photographed and reproduced in books an infinite number of times. Not a single design is in existence today. The group is situation between the Spanish church of San Jose and the Huanchaco road on the northeast. The works of the Tello group bound it on the southeast; as do the Cabildo group. This is surrounded by a wall which has been cut by the huaeros in various places. It is of the same general aspect as the other groups; a huaca or principal building (in this case the one with the decorated walls discovered by Velarde) yapus and small constructions. It is one of those most frequently visited by the tourists. The principal edifice appears to be buried.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] Along the length of the deep canyon which aids in the formation of the table land upon which Chan Chan stands are various indentations and projecting spits of land which act variously as wells or dikes. For which reason Middendorf judged them to be works formed by the sea. These walls which are the same level as the beach are constantly moist and the and the fishermen of the neighborhood use them as places to spread out the fibrous material which they use in the manufacture of the mats and little fish nets. All of these show signs of having been faced with rock. The wachakes number more than ten but I have photographed only the most notable ones.

[From the Original 1927 Catalog] This group is isolated from Chan Chan and lies toward the west and is closer to the sea than any of the others. It is small and surrounded by cemeteries. It has one peculiarity, according to all authentic accounts, in the burials have been found only the heads of children. The regular huanchaqueros (workers in the sites) call it "The Last Golgotha of the Inca." It is distinguished from the other groups in that is has no buildings and appears to have been used solely as a cemetery.
