Locality on the Frontier

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Cuando los senderos divergen: Reconsiderando las interacciones entre los Andes Septentrionales y los Andes Centrales durante el 1ro y 2do milenio AEC / When Paths Diverge: Reconsidering Interactions between the Northern and Central Andes, First–Second Millennium BCE" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In recent years, several archaeological investigations have been conducted in northern Peru and southern Ecuador, which are considered “northern frontiers” in the Andean Archaeology. While it has been pointed out that these areas are important for understanding interregional interactions in the ancient Andes, solid empirical data have not been presented to evaluate this issue. In addition, our previous studies in these areas have focused only on interregional interactions and overlooked the locality of each region. Therefore, in this presentation, we discuss the locality of each region based on frontier perspectives using our new data from the Jaén region in northern Peru, especially the sites of Ingatambo and Turuco, the Cañar region in southern Ecuador, and the sites of Cerro Narrío and Loma de Pinzhul.
