Zusammenfassung:Early Horizon (800–200 cal. B.C.) gold artifacts are well known because of their artistic and technological sophistication. This article presents new data for Early Horizon gold metallurgy from the Peruvian south-central highlands by providing descriptions of a gold artifact and ceramic casting mold recovered from the site of Campanayuq Rumi. These objects indicate a technological innovation from techniques employing simple hammering common in Initial Period metallurgy from the south-central highlands and could have related to the pan-regional influence of the Chavín phenomenon. Los artefactos de oro en el Horizonte Temprano son conocidos por su sofisticación artística y tecnológica. Este artículo presenta nuevos datos sobre orfebrería de la sierra centro-sur del Perú, incluyendo un artefacto de oro y un molde de cerámica para metalurgia descubierto en un contexto del Horizonte Temprano en Campanayuq Rumi, Ayacucho. Esos artefactos evidencian una innovación tecnológica de la técnica del martilleado,conocida durante el Periodo Inicial en la sierra centro-sur y que podría haber estado relacionada con patrones pan-regionales del fenómeno Chavín.
