Pampa La Cruz
This article describes six sacrificial events carried out during the Late Intermediate Period and the beginning of the Late Horizon at Pampa La Cruz (PLC), located in the Moche Valley, North Coast of Peru. The archaeological context and circumstances in which the children and camelids were sacrificed at PLC are different from the previously investigated site of Huanchaquito – Las Llamas. PLC raises the question of whether the nature and the purpo…
The Pre-Columbian Peopling and Population Dispersals of South America
Population Structure during the Demise of the Moche (550-850 AD)
Population structure analyses and biodistance comparisons for Middle Moche (550-700 AD), Late Moche (700-850 AD), and Transitional (850-950 AD) period skeletal samples from San José de Moro with a previously reported Middle Moche period sample from Pacatnamú, a nearby Jequetepeque Valley site, and eight samples from Huaca de la Luna and Cerro Oreja, two sites in the Moche Valley, suggest that substantial levels of extralocal gene flow into the Je…
Continuity and Transformation During the Terminal Middle Horizon (A.D. 950–1150)
Previous archaeological studies suggest that terminal Middle Horizon Tumilaca populations (cal A.D. 950–1150) of the middle Moquegua Valley represent direct descendants of earlier Chen Chen-style Tiwankau colonists of the region. This study tests this idea by comparing dentally derived biodistance analyses of Tumilaca, Chen Chen-style, Tiwanaku, and other regional samples. The results indicate that the Tumilaca and Chen Chen-style mortuary sample…

Biodistance analysis of the Moche sacrificial victims from Huaca de la Luna plaza 3C
The purpose of this study is to test two competing models regarding the origins of Early Intermediate Period (AD 200–750) sacrificial victims from the Huacas de Moche site using the matrix correlation method. The first model posits the sacrificial victims represent local elites who lost competitions in ritual battles with one another, while the other model suggests the victims were nonlocal warriors captured during warfare with nearby polities. W…
Colonization vs. demic expansion in the Azapa Valley, Chile
The article comments on the prehistoric population dynamics in the Azapa Valley, Chile. It argues about the magnitude of gene flow and archaeological implications of the craniometric studies being conducted by other parties. It also cites the differences in craniometrically derived biodistances on deformed and undeformed skulls among mortuary population in the Azapa Valley
The Test of Competing Models for the Prehistoric Peopling of the Azapa Valley, Northern Chile, Using Matrix Correlations
This study reports biodistances from nonmetric dental traits for eleven mortuary samples -an Andean Paleoindian sample, a Tiwanaku sample, and nine from the Azapa Valley-to test three models for the prehistoric population dynamics of the Azapa Valley, Chile, using matrix correlation analysis of hypothetical design matrices. These models include: (1) Tiwanaku colonization during the Middle Period, (2) simple gene flow over time, and (3) a modified…
The Nature of Moche Human Sacrifice
Archaeologists working in northern Peru have proposed that victims of Moche sacrifice represented either local Moche warriors defeated in ritual battles or enemy soldiers captured in warfare with nonMoche or competing Moche polities. Analysis of biodistances among eight Early Intermediate Period (200 BCAD 750) North Coast mortuary samples indicates that the sacrificial victims from the Huaca de la Luna are the least similar to others and the most…
Nonmetric cranial trait variation and prehistoric biocultural change in the Azapa Valley, Chile
Historically, interpretations of both biological and cultural change within the prehistoric Azapa Valley, northern Chile, have cited large‐scale population movements, with replacement from complex societies located in the adjacent highlands to the east. Biological estimates of this change have traditionally relied upon biodistance estimates, using craniofacial measures of both deformed and nondeformed skulls. In order to evaluate whether large‐sc…
Prehistoric Genetic and Culture Change
This investigation uses a bioarchaeological approach to test the existence of pre-Inka colonists within the Andean coastal valleys of Moquegua, Peru, and Azapa, Chile, as predicted by Murra's (1972) classic model of verticality. The archaeological evidence and biodistance results obtained using genetically controlled dental traits from 859 skeletal and mummified remains indicate that the Late Intermediate period (A.D. 1100-1476) coastal Chiribaya…
