Local Impact of Tiwanaku at the site of Pinami, Cochabamba: Synthesis of Diachronic Ceramic, Household, Food Production, Mortuary and Isotopic Data

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Tiwanaku state has been shown to have had varied methods for interacting with and influencing its peripheries. This poster presents a synthesis of multi-year excavations at the site of Pinami in the Central Valley of Cochabamba that provides both diachronic depth from the Late Formative, Middle Horizon and Early Intermediate and a wide range of data sets including ceramic, household, mortuary and isotopic data. Considered as a whole the data shows evidence of significant Tiwanaku impact by the late Middle Horizon on all lifeways. I conclude that the data supports a model of Tiwanaku using indirect control in Cochabamba.
