The Rio Chico site is situated on the central coast of Ecuador, a region that is heavily influenced by climatic events such as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Rio Chico was occupied almost continuously for 5000 years (ca. 3500 B.C.E. to 1532 C.E.), and therefore provides an opportunity to study coastal resource usage over a long temporal span. This poster presents a preliminary zooarchaeological analysis of the relative abundance of fish and other classes of fauna at the site. A sample of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological game drives are well documented in many parts of the world but are virtually unknown in the Andes Mountains despite millennia of large-game hunting. Using satellite imagery, we identify nearly 200 V-shaped, stone-wall structures that exhibit qualitative and quantitative properties of game drives. Furthermore the features coincide with the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Amerindian, enslaved African, and European peoples who successively settled the Caribbean island of Carriacou beginning AD 400 encountered a distinctive environment marked by recurrent drought, few terrestrial fauna, and the largest reef system in the region. Evidence suggests Carriacou’s ecology was altered dramatically by humans, reflecting efforts to...

This is an abstract from the "Advances and New Perspectives in the Isthmo-Colombian Area" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study presents data on the first multi-isotope analysis of precolombian humans in Panama. We use carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N), oxygen (δ18O), and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes to determine the diets and mobility patterns of individuals from seven archaeological sites: Cerro Mangote, Sitio Sierra, and Cerro Juan Díaz in...

This is an abstract from the "Andean and Amazonian Ceramics: Advances in Technological Studies" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeology of Peru has been dominated by the study of ceramics through the lenses of culture-history approach, which emphasize form, decoration, and style. These variables were successfully applied to identify archaeological cultures and chronological periods. Subsequently, this approach helped to organize the...

This is an abstract from the "Reconstructing the Political Organization of Pre-Columbian Nicaragua" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although archaeology within the Zapatera Archipelago was initially documented in the 19th century due to the islands’ exceptional stone statuary and petroglyph panels, little scientific archaeology or environmental work has taken place there. This paper presents the results from the first season of the Proyecto...

In this poster I present preliminary results and interpretations of paleoethnobotanical investigations at the site of Quilcapampa, located in the Siguas Valley, Department of Arequipa in south-central Peru. Recent AMS radiocarbon dates indicate Quilcapampa was occupied for a short period during the mid-eighth century AD, which places the site within the Middle Horizon (AD 600-1000). Based on site architecture and ceramic evidence, the site may represent a colonial installation of Wari Empire...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The study presented below aims to determine whether the mirrors of pyrite tesserae and iron ore tesserae not associated with bases, found at El Caño, are of local production or, on the contrary, came from Mesoamerica given their formal and material resemblance to those from that area. In order to achieve this objective, firstly, a formal typological...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent archaeological excavations at the prehispanic cemetery of Santo Domingo in Huarmey (Peru) suggests that it was associated with the settlement of El Campanario. Based on the ceramic styles recovered at the site, the cemetery was likely utilized during the second half of the Middle Horizon (AD 800–1000) and the Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000–1400). In...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeological study of funerary practices provides important data concerning cultural traditions, belief systems, social inequalities, and sociopolitical alignment. The excavations conducted at a pre-Hispanic cemetery at the site of CuzCuz highlights funerary practices used by coastal Andean groups during the Late Intermediate Period (LIP; 1000-1400...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Located 800 km from Cuzco, the Inka capital, Puerto Inka served as a crucial junction, linking the coastal Inka road with a transversal route to Cuzco. However, this region had remained underexplored in previous studies. By conducting excavations and surveys at Puerto Inka and its surrounding area, this research aimed to shed light on the Inka Empire's...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Puerto Inka, also known as Quebrada de la Vaca, which lies on the Pacific shore in southern Peru, near the modern town of Chala, was connected to the Inka capital of Cuzco (over 800 km away) by the Royal Inca Road network, now known as the Qhapaq Ñan. Because of its preservation, its distinct administrative structures, its unique geographic position, and...

Around A.D. 1300, the Chimú conducted a series of expansions south of the Moche Valley conquering the Casma, a regional group whose territory spanned from the Chao to the Huarmey Valleys. While past research has examined this event in the northern and southern extent of the Casma’s territory, there exists a void in our knowledge on the Casma’s experience during the Chimú conquest in the central Santa and Nepeña Valleys. In 2017 the Proyecto Investigación de Arqueología de Pan de Azucár (PIAPAN)...

In an era of uncertainty in the significance of cultural resources, an evaluation of the history of legislation that protects and manages effects on cultural resources is of paramount importance. At the federal level, the environmental policies that ensure evaluation of cultural resources are at risk in today’s political climate. To understand how to best maintain and improve protections and mechanisms of cultural resource investigation, the following paper evaluates the history of cultural...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology and conservation might appear to be contradictory disciplines. Archaeological methods are inherently destructive, and conservation strives to prevent loss. However, at some historic sites archaeology and conservation collaborate as integral partners to preserve the physical structures and cultural heritage, as well as recovering new data...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The summer of 2018 marked the first season of the Corral Redondo Project, a multidisciplinary project that aims to identify the function of this site which seems to have had a ritual purpose for both the Wari and the Inca (AD 600-1550). Though the site had been previously excavated, and subsequently looted since its discovery in 1943, archaeologists and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Camino Real was a cultural, political, and economical link between the Viceroy of Mexico and the northern communities of the New Spain, mostly mining centers. But these new territories were not only harsh geographically but dangerous by the constant raids by the local communities of American Indians, and pressure from foreign nations like England, France...

Starting in 1991, more than 20 female elite burials have been excavated among the 800+ burials dug in San Jose de Moro, Jequetepeque Valley, Northern Peru. Female burials tell us stories of the rise to power of females in the Late Moche society, of their singular power, emanating from roles in Sacrificial Ceremonies, but mostly each burial is a representation of the specific life of each one of these females, where more is singular than common and shared. Rather than a repetitive pattern, each...
