From Foragers to Empires: Recent Research on the South Coast of Peru
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
From Paracas and Nasca to the Inca Empire, for thousands of years the South Coast of Peru was a hub for the evolution of indigenous societies in the Andes. This symposium focuses on the most recent research undertaken on the South Coast. From the dry Nasca Valley to the Paracas Peninsula, from the coast to the highlands, and from the Middle Preceramic through the colonial and Republican period, participants focus on foodways, ritual, pilgrimage, exchange, production, identity and a host of other issues that shed new light on our understanding of this region's prehistory.
