Summary
Huari Urban Prehistory: An Introduction to the Excavations of 2017
From June through mid-August archaeological excavations were conducted at the Patipampa section of Huari, Ayacucho, Peru, where prehistoric constructions are not preserved on the surface. The goal of this first season of excavation was to detect and expose outlines of the built environment in approximately a hectare of space believed to contain primarily residential remains. As spatial organization becomes clear, individual architectural spaces are excavated to learn about everyday lie in the capital city of Huari. This presentation provides an overview of project and its first-year results, while also contextualizing most of the other papers constituting the symposium.
