Settlement Pattern Study on the Early Occupations in the Upper Huallaga Basin, Northern Peru

Summary

The excavations at Kotosh by Japanese team during the 1960s demonstrated that in the Upper Huallaga Basin there are many archaeological sites corresponding to the time of the early development of Andean Civilization. One of the most important contributions of these studies is a fine-grained regional chronology from the Late Preceramic Period to the end of Early Horizon. The subsequent investigations in Cajamarca region of northern highland since the 1970s successfully elucidate diachronic process of early socio-economic transformations. This led us to re-examine the early cultural sequence the Upper Huallaga Basin after a half century from the excavations at Kotosh by incorporating new data set obtained from our most recent excavations there in 2016.
