The role of Botanicals in the Hierarchy of Panquilma

Summary

In this paper, through botanical analysis, I will reconstruct the environmental consumption

patterns in the Lurin valley during the Late Intermediate Period. To this end we will compare

botanical remains from each of the three sectors of the site. In particular, I will compare the

botanical remains from ritual and domestic contexts, to seek ideas related to hierarchy,

identity and power on the role of women.
