Reconsidering Farming and Foraging in the Pre-Moche World (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dana Bardolph. Brian Billman. Jesus Briceno. Gabriel Prieto.

This paper examines the relationships between food, identity, and social inequality on the Prehispanic Peruvian North Coast through a paleoethnobotanical perspective. We reconstruct household culinary practices to address the roles that food played in the migrant experience of highlanders that settled in a traditionally coastal river valley. This migration occurs just prior to the consolidation of the Southern Moche polity, one of the earliest state polities in the Americas and characterized by...


Reconsidering the Imperial Subjects of the Southern Collasuyu: Commensality and Agency in Northern Chile (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Francisco Garrido.

This is an abstract from the "Alfareros deste Inga: Pottery Production, Distribution and Exchange in the Tawantinsuyu" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As in other parts of the empire, Inca pottery in the southern provinces portrays a mix of Cuzco and local designs. Inca aryballos, plates, and jars incorporated local styles, just as local pots incorporated Inca styles. However, does the presence of Inca style always indicate imperial control? How...

Reconstructing the Environmental History of El Paraíso, Chillón Valley (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ari Caramanica.

By Late Preceramic Perú (3000-2100 BC) lomas environments were largely abandoned in favor of riparian and littoral ecozones, and hunting and gathering subsistence strategies were increasingly replaced by agriculture. This change coincided with the emergence of several hallmarks of complexity: monumental architecture, specialization, and hierarchical organization. The role that environmental degradation or climate change played in this transition remains a subject of debate. This paper presents...


Reconstructing the Inca Occupation Period in Chancay (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ann Rowe.

Comparatively little excavation information is available from the Chancay valley, particularly pertaining to textiles, which are abundantly preserved there. Yet, it turned out to be possible to identify in museum collections, including that of the NMAI, two distinct styles of highland tunics found at sites in the mid and lower Chillon valley and vicinity that in turn influenced mid-valley and coastal tunics, particularly Chancay-style examples. Moreover, textile designs made it possible to date...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Warren Church.

Results from analyses of deep, stratified cultural deposits excavated at Manachaqui Cave (3,620 m) in the ancient Chachapoyas region provide a "window" on changing patterns of interregional interaction in Peru’s northern ceja de selva. Located beside a pre-Hispanic paved road, the rock shelter accommodated mobile foragers, cultivators, travelers, and llama caravans moving through networks connecting societies north, south, east, and west. Despite several chronological gaps, Manachaqui’s sequence...
