Where did the ore come from? Pb isotope provenance of a Pre-Columbian speiss/matte fragment from the Metallurgist’s Burial at Castillo de Huarmey (Peru)
The many lives of companion species
Combining zooarchaeology and multi-isotopic analyses reveals diverse life histories of ancient dogs. • The companion species concept should be broadened to include animals living with and off humans. • Castillo de Huarmey’s dogs were involved in both mundane and ceremonial activities. • At the Castillo de Huarmey, Peruvian Hairless Dog puppies received distinct treatment compared to other dogs. The widespread belief that dogs are humans’ closest …

Isotopic Evidence Reveals Marine Foodways and Captive Life Histories of Pre-Columbian Andean Condors
In‐depth study of a speiss/matte sample from Castillo de Huarmey, North Coast of Peru, and its implications for the pre‐Columbian production of arsenic bronze in the Central Andes
This study aims to characterize the phase composition and chemistry of the speiss/matte sample from the Metallurgist's Burial at Castillo de Huarmey and to use the information derived from these analyses to infer the temperatures, furnace conditions, and ores associated with the smelting processes, which created the speiss/matte sample. For this purpose, a number of geochemical analyses were performed on the spies/matte fragment: analysis of the …
Deciphering the origin of small metal artefacts from Castillo de Huarmey (Peru) with Pb, Cu, and Ag isotopes
This paper presents Ag, Cu, and Pb isotopes for five silver and 10 copper artefacts found in the first intact pre‐Columbian tomb of the Wari culture female elite at Castillo de Huarmey, Peru. Ag and Cu isotope data indicate that the metals were extracted from primary, hypogene ore deposits. Most of the Pb isotope data for the Castillo de Huarmey artefacts correlate with the core Wari site of Conchopata, suggesting utilization of ores from similar…
Chemical composition of small fragments of metals from Castillo de Huarmey (Peru)
Small metal fragments were found in the tomb of the Wari culture elite (Castillo de Huarmey, Peru). These objects were subjected to chemical analysis using a scanning electron microscope with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy and field emission (FE‐SEM‐EDS), an electron microprobe analyser with field emission (FE‐EMPA) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Chemical composition analysis showed that four different alloys were used to make copper…

Application of electron microprobe analysis to identify the origin of ancient pottery production from the Castillo de Huarmey, Peru
A vast amount of ceramics (among other grave goods) were recovered from Castillo de Huarmey, a Wari culture (650–1050 ce ) archaeological site on the north coast of Peru. In order to assess ceramic production area(s) and possible trade, political or cultural interactions with other regions, and to complement earlier petrographic analysis, electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) was conducted following a rarely used methodology in archaeology. The che…
Patterns of camelid management in Wari Empire reconstructed using multiple stable isotope analysis
Camelid management was a major part of the Wari Empire's (ca. ad 600-1050) economy; however, it is uncertain whether camelid husbandry was centrally regulated or locally managed. To address this problem, we applied combined isotope ratio analyses (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, 87Sr/86Sr, and 20nPb/204Pb) to camelid remains from Castillo de Huarmey, a Wari administrative center along the northern Peruvian coast. Results support a mostly local herding scenario…

Arqueología de la Costa de Ancash
El presente número temático de Andes. Boletín del Centro de Estudios Precolombinos de la Universidad de Varsovia, titulado "Arqueología de la Costa de Ancash", es una síntesis muy bien documentada de los aportes más recientes de la investigación arqueológica en la zona costera de los valles de Santa, Nepeña, Casma, Culebras y Huarmey, en la región Ancash. Esta edición no podría ser más oportuna. Desde los trabajos pioneros de Julio C. Tello, el v…
Cronología, relaciones interregionales y organización social en el Formativo
El valle bajo de Nepeña se ubica en la costa nor-central del Perú, región geográficamente estratégica para el estudio del Periodo Formativo con referencia a las relaciones interregionales. Pese a ello, durante todo el siglo veinte, la zona carecía de una cronología, establecida en base a excavaciones controladas, lo que impedía ubicar apropiadamente los sitios relevantes, como Cerro Blanco, en una mayor escala que abarca las denominadas culturas …
Los guardianes de la frontera sur
Dentro del mosaico de las culturas prehispánicas del Perú la cultura Moche es quizá, después de los incas, la más conocida a nivel internacional. La comprensión del mundo Moche se afianza en la asombrosa cantidad de información obtenida durante los procesos de investigación. A pesar de eso, su pasado aún nos plantea un sinfín de interrogantes, cada vez más problemáticas y fundamentales. Uno de los aspectos menos conocidos de la sociedad Moche es …
Los moches del Santa, una larga historia
Los trabajos de campo del Proyecto Santa de la Universidad de Montreal, realizados entre los años 2000 y 2008, permitieron estudiar la cronologia y causas de la presencia moche en la parte baja del valle de Santa. Las primeras hipótesis sobre este fenómeno señalaban la conquista militar moche del valle durante la Fase Moche III. Sin embargo nuestros datos indican un control graduai de Santa por los lideres moches, quienes durante dos siglos cohab…
