Travels and Archaeology in South Chile
Gallinazo Maize from the Chicama Valley, Peru
A large sample of Gallinazo cobs from Huaca Prieta is classified using a set of five variables. Some types of Gallinazo maize recovered there seem to have been new to the Peruvian North Coast; some types of the preceding Salinar phase are not known from this site. Further changes occur in the Chicama-Viru area when Moche influence appears. In several ways Gallinazo maize seems more related to maize occurring today further north and east than to m…
Moche Copper Analyses
Eighteen analyses are presented for 12 different Moche copper pedestal cups. Eight of the cups were made from naturally-occurring copper metal ore; the remaining 4 from copper obtained by smelting of complex oxidized ores. The use of both ore types suggests either a matter of convenience or technology in transition. In general, these people possessed a more advanced level of metallurgical technology than their utilization of primitive naturally-o…
Paleo-Indian Discoidal Stones from Southern South America
Four discoidal stone objects from southern Chile and Argentina can be attributed to the Paleo-Indian occupation of the region. Two were clearly associated with extinct horse and sloth and have a radiocarbon age of over 11,000 years. The other two are judged to be part of the same cultural complex

The Concept of a 'Pre-Projectile Point' Cultural Stage in Chile and Peru
In proposing a pre-projectile point cultural stage for North and South America, Alex Krieger has cited certain lithic material from Taltal and other Chilean sites as supporting evidence. That this is an erroneous assumption can be shown by available data. As far as the Chilean record is concerned, Krieger and others have been misled by the low level of technology of certain specific artifacts for which false claims have been made. They have not r…

B.p
The difficulties of using B.P. for radiocarbon ages figures is discussed in terms of the contrast between an age and a date, and the abandonment of the B.P. method of expressing dates is urged
A New Earth-Shaking Machine
In the fall of 1954 the undersigned had occasion to investigate the discovery of an eastern fluted projectile point in an excavation being made for the erection of a flagpole memorial to the man who originated the Tadpole Club. In preparation for this expedition to a Boy Scout camp near the Delaware Water Gap we decided to build a motor-driven sifter. This machine has operated so well on this and succeeding trips that it seems to warrant a brief …
South American Radiocarbon Dates
The Stratigraphic data on some of the Peruvian samples provide a fairly good basis for evaluating the radiocarbon date measurements in relation to each other. The accompanying chart (Fig. 1) was prepared to clarify what is bound to be tedious reading. On it the plotting of the radiocarbon dates is obvious. The insertion with them of sectional profiles of midden excavations may be confusing, but does show where the tested material was found. In on…
Andean Culture History
Preceramic Cultures in Chicama and Virú
This is a tentative résumé of the work done on the preceramic horizons in Chicama and Virú valleys as a part of the Virú Valley Project of 1946. Before summarizing the results of excavations in the old midden deposits, mention should be made of the recent physiographic changes in the Virú Valley. These have a definite connection with the prehistory. The drainage of the south arm of the valley starts at an elevation of slightly over 4000 meters wi…
