Household Spaces in Nasca: A Comparison through Time

Author(s): Kevin Vaughn; Christina Conlee; Sarah Kerchusky; Verity Whalen

Year: 2018

Summary

In this paper we evaluate household spaces in the Nasca region through time. We consider household structures in domestic contexts from the Formative, the Early and Late Nasca epochs, the Middle Horizon and the Late Intermediate Period. We look at the changes that took place in the use of residential space and consider how broader regional changes in sociopolitical structure, economy and religious ideology may have contributed to the changing nature of local dwellings.
