Shimada 1994, p. XIV:

"Moche I-V are classificatory units primarily defined by observed changes in the form of stirrup-spout bottles (Larco Hoyle 1948). Limited stratigraphic data (e.g., Strong and Evans 1952) and independent seriations (e.g., Donnan 1965; Klein 1967) show that they constitute a viable relative chronology at least in the southern Mochica stronghold of the Chicama, Moche, and Virú valleys. The boundary between any two successive phases is arbitrarily drawn and, with the exception of Moche V, the absolute dates bracketing each phase should be considered educated guesses based on a small number of inconclusive dates."

Chapdelaine 2001, on radiocarbon dates from the urban zone of the Huacas de Moche, p. 73

"This new chronology gives the Moche IV phase a longer time period, extending it between A.D. 400 and 700. New radiocarbon dates of Moche III contexts at the site support the idea of an A.D. 250-450 correlation for this phase."
