The Early Sican period began around 750 AD and lasting until 900 AD. Not much is known about this early period of the Sican culture due to a lack of artifacts, but it seems that the Sican were probably descendants of the Moche the artifacts recovered Chile to the south (blue stone), and seeds of gold extracted in the basin from the Marañón River to the east. The Lambayeque culture was one of those peoples. Around A.D. 800 they created the city of Poma, located at Batan Grande, in the La Leche Valley.
