El Molle culture was a South American archaeological culture from in the Transverse Valleys of Norte Chico, Chile, known chiefly for its ceramics. The culture existed from 300 to 700 CE and was later replaced in Chile by Las Ánimas culture that developed between 800 and 1000 CE. This last culture then gave way to the historical Diaguita culture encountered by the Spanish in the 16th century.
