Chimú-Inka Segmented Agricultural Fields in the Jequetepeque Valley, Peru
Chimú-Inka Segmented Agricultural Fields in the Jequetepeque Valley, Peru
In this study, we analyze extensive segmented and standardized agricultural fields in the marginally productive terrain of the Pampa de Guereque in the Jequetepeque Valley on the north coast of Peru. Although portions of the associated canal system were constructed continuously from late Formative to Chimú times, the segmented fields date to the late Chimú-Inka period and were only partially finished, apparently never fully used, and ultimately a…
BCE Caral
The Late Archaic Period of North Central Coast Peru witnessed increased El Niño events that transferred flood sediment from coastal valleys into ocean currents forming large barrier beach ridges. As a result, river drainage was impeded, bay infilling and coastal marshes appeared and sediment deposits covered coastal agricultural lands compromising their productivity. Many sites within the Supe Valley, with its ceremonial center at Caral, were bas…
Climate and Technological Innovation at Kaminaljuyu, Guatemala
During the years 2000 and 2001, a project was carried out to determine the paleoclimate in the Valley of Guatemala. There were two main objectives: (1) to compare and contrast the Highland data with that already obtained from the Maya Lowlands and the Caribbean region; and (2) to understand the relationship between climate and the disappearance of lakes and irrigated agriculture at the archaeological site of Kaminaljuyu in the Valley of Guatemala…
Environmental thresholds and the empirical reality of state collapse
We are grateful for the opportunity to respondto Erickson's (1999) critique of our articles onhuman-environment interactions in the LakeTiticaca basin of Bolivia (Ortloff & Kolata 1993;Abbott et al. 1997; Binford et al. 1997). Hisdecision to publish this critique in ANTIQUITY,rather than in the journals in which our articlesappeared, permits us to reach a broaderaudience. Erickson labels our interpretationsa form of 'neo-environmental determinism…
