Everybody Else: The Predecessors and Contemporaries of the Moche on the North Coast of Peru
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
Many research programs have added to the knowledge of Moche-ness, but relatively few have contributed to our understanding of what came before and alongside the Moche phenomenon in the north coast region of Peru. Papers in this session will focus on the predecessors and contemporaries of the Moche throughout the region. Rather than focus on specific theories or methodologies, papers will focus on a broad range of topics such as mobility, foodways, style and identity, and spatial analysis of settlement and artifact distributions.
