Summary
This poster presents the results of the preliminary excavation work done at sector A of the site Casa Grande (PV57-42) in the Chincha Valley, Peru. Initial field work focused on determining both the construction technique used to build these extensive terraces and identifying how these spaces were used by the mid-valley Chincha inhabitants. Excavation and preliminary laboratory processing focused on the ceramics and botanical remains recovered during the active field season, with further analysis pending exportation. These initial results yield promising information about the use of space within a sub-set of the terraces, as well as a glimpse into the different types of industry that were practiced within the mid-Chincha Valley during the Late Intermediate Period and Late Horizon.
