An Enigmatic Manteño Burial from Buen Suceso, Ecuador, AD 771-953
Burial 10 is a unique Manteño (AD 650-1532) burial from Buen Suceso, Ecuador, dating between AD 771 and 953. This burial included the remains of a young female, pregnant at the time of death and buried with an elaborate array of goods, including anachronistic spondylus ornaments, green stones, and shell eye coverings. Perimortem trauma, including a cranial fracture and cutmarks on hand bones, perimortem removal of the hands and left leg, and othe…

Cooperation and Hierarchy in Ancient Bolivia
This book explores how past peoples navigated and created power structures and social relationships, using a case study from the Titicaca Basin of Bolivia (800 BC–AD 400). Based on the analysis of human skeletal remains, it combines anthropological social theory, archaeological contexts, and biological indicators of identity, disease, and labor to present a microhistory. The analysis moves in scale from individual experiences of daily life to bro…
Investigation of Identity and Ontology at Salango, Ecuador (BCE 100-300 CE)
Bioarchaeologists have increasingly investigated social identities of past peoples, engaging with theory from a variety of sources, including Indigenous perspectives. In this article, we discuss and compare successive Very Early Guangala (100 BCE–CE 1) and succeeding Early Guangala (CE 1–300) phase burials located near the north perimeter of Salango, a shoreline site and ritual sanctuary serving multiple communities of the central coast of Ecuado…
Exploring Dental Modification from Coastal Ecuador from an Unprovenienced Museum Collection
In South America, most examples of dental modification come from Ecuador; however, none have been directly radiocarbon dated and few have associated cultural materials or context. In fact, many modified teeth and crania are housed in museum collections, divorced from their cultural and temporal milieus, and because of this it is generally assumed that this limits the interpretive possibility of these individuals. We used multiple methods to inves…
The resiliency of diet on the Copacabana Peninsula, Bolivia
Cooperative Bodies
The Drink Embodied
Past and present Andean feasts regularly involve the consumption of chicha de maíz (corn beer). Archaeologically, the presence and distribution of brewing and drinking vessels, iconographic representations, and paleoethnobotanical remains have been used to identify the preparation and consumption of chicha at the site level. However, these data cannot tell us if everyone imbibed. Given the social and political importance of chicha, gender, age, s…
The first documented case of trepanation from Tarija, Bolivia, ca. 650 C.E
Trepanation has been practised in the Andes since 400–200 B.C.E., with numerous examples documented across Peru and Northern Bolivia (Tello, ; Verano, ). This practice appears to have been widespread across these areas; however, other parts of the Andes, such as Northwest Argentina, Chile, and Southern Bolivia, have not yet produced examples of cranial surgery, with the exception of one possible example from Northwest Argentina (Seldes & Botta, )…
Unique Infant Mortuary Ritual at Salango, Ecuador, 100 BC
The human head was a potent symbol for many South American cultures. Isolated heads were often included in mortuary contexts, representing captured enemies, revered persons, and symbolic "seeds." At Salango, a ritual complex on the central coast of Ecuador, excavations revealed two burial mounds dated to approximately 100 BC. Among the 11 identified burials, two infants were interred with "helmets" made from the cranial vaults of other juveniles.…
Complexity and Power
Between 800 BC and AD 200, people in the Titicaca Basin of Peru and Bolivia began practicing agriculture, living in sedentary settlements, and engaging in public ritual. The resulting social complexity was likely associated with shifts in power relationships and social hierarchy, as has been noted in other areas of the world. In fact, in the northern lake basin these changes are clearly associated with an increase in violent conflict and competit…

Introduction
High altitude agriculture in the Titicaca basin (800 BCE–200 CE)
OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the biological impacts of sedentism and agriculture on humans living in the high altitude landscape of the Titicaca Basin between 800 BCE and CE 200. The transition to agriculture in other global areas resulted in increases in disease and malnutrition; the high altitude of the Titicaca Basin could have exacerbated this. Our objective is to test whether the high altitude of the Titicaca Basin created a marginal …
A call for action
Anthropologists, human biologists, and researchers in related fields have been investigating the human-environment interaction and its effects on health for decades. While there have been numerous studies from the medical- and health-sectors pointing to the connection between climate change and health needs, as well as studies advocating for the incorporation of appropriate curricula addressing these needs in medical schools and health-profession…
Introduction
In this chapter, we introduce our volume and focus on defining the various ways in which the term community is used by bioarchaeologists in this volume, especially with respect to the theoretical ideas within the emerging social and theoretical bioarchaeology. We also provide an initial summary concerning each of the chapters and how each author, or set of authors, focuses on community within their research. Our goals are: (1) to discuss the poss…
Inclusive Communities In The Titicaca Basin During The Early Horizon
Community" is an important analytical lens for investigating the emergence of social hierarchy and shared religious tradition. Burials from the Titicaca Basin of Peru and Bolivia dating to the Early Horizon (800 B.C.E.-C.E. 200) provide an opportunity to investigate how socio-economic changes may have impacted and been structured by existing community structures. Specifically, I use biodistance and strontium isotope analyses to identify kinship a…
Trauma in the Titicaca Basin, Bolivia (AD 1000-1450)
The Late Intermediate Period (LIP) (AD 1000-1450) in the Andes was a time of turbulent political and social change as two major states, Wari and Tiwanaku, lost power. Increased rates of skeletal trauma in parts of Peru and Chile for this time period have been interpreted as increased interpersonal violence, perhaps as a result of the political vacuum left in the wake of state collapse. In the Titicaca Basin, people increasingly built defensive ar…
Late Preceramic Forager-Herders from the Copacabana Peninsula in the Titicaca Basin of Bolivia
The Titicaca Basin of Peru and Bolivia has been occupied by humans for millennia and was home to one of the first major state societies in the Andes. Many foundations of state power, however, developed much earlier, during the Late Preceramic/Terminal Archaic Period (3000 - 1500 BC), when people initially began herding, marking territories, and creating new metallurgy technology. We present a skeletal analysis of 14 individuals dating between 300…
