One Settlement, Many Communities . . .

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Developments through Time on the South Coast of Peru: In Memory of Patrick Carmichael" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Research centered in the prehispanic urban settlement of Cerro de Oro, in the Peruvian South Coast, is showing a wide variety of cooking techniques, disposal arrangements, and even culinary preferences that seem to reflect possible different social groupings within the settlement. This paper will present research performed in different residential spaces within Cerro de Oro, focusing on spatial arrangements and use of space, as well as contextual analysis of food-related spaces. This information will be used to explore the particular social configuration that characterized the urban society of Cerro de Oro.
