Moche chronology of ancient Peru
In the last decade Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates has become commonplace for archaeologists grappling with regional chronologies. Here we present Bayesian analysis for radiocarbon dates from Moche cultural contexts from the north coast of Peru with the aim to understand the duration of the phenomenon and to compile all known dates in a single location for future analysis and use. The analysis demonstrates that the long-standing Moche cera…

Pre-Columbian Art History in the Age of the Wall
Following an introductory essay, six short contributions by academics and museum curators in the United States (US) and Europe tackle the current state and future of Pre-Columbian visual culture studies. They explore the field’s impressive growth in this century, as well as some of the dangers it currently faces as a result of that growth. Several trace its present state to its origins and the part played by early Mexican and US nationalism, the …
Criminal Lines, Indian Colours, and the Creation of a Black Legend
The author’s discovery of a set of inscribed photographs of the ‘Bandits of La Jalancha’, made in La Paz, Bolivia in 1871 and now in the collections of Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, has made possible the identification of the photographed gang’s leader ‘Salvador Chico’ with the Afro-Aymara anti-hero known in contemporary folklore as El Zambo Salvito. On their photographic journeys out of Bolivia, Salvador and his men were…
A Moche feathered shield from the painted temples of Pañamarca, Peru
We report upon the unique finding of a Moche feathered shield at Pañamarca, Nepeña Valley, Peru. The artifact was excavated in 2010 from an offering context adjacent to two mural paintings first documented in 1950. Although shields are among the most frequent motifs in Moche iconography, very few examples are found archaeologically or in museum collections. We describe the form and materials of the Pañamarca shield and discuss its placement withi…

The King, the Bishop, and the Creation of an American Antiquity
Bishop Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón (1737–1797) was the force behind the creation of nine volumes of watercolors depicting the natural and cultural histories of the diocese of Trujillo, Peru. Volume Nine, dedicated to archaeology, includes some of the most detailed and sophisticated illustrations of antiquities and archaeological sites known from the Americas. Yet the bishop’s project has remained a curious anomaly in the history of American …
