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…
Comment on “Shark fisheries during the second millennium BC in Gramalote, north coast of Peru”
In reporting on prehistoric specialized shark fisheries at the Initial Period site of \nGramalote (~1500–1200 cal BCE) on the north coast of Peru, Prieto suggests that \nsubstantial quantities of sharks were captured by using shell rattles to attract and \nfiber nooses to capture them from small reed boats. Although his research has \nmade a significant contribution to our understanding of prehistoric fishing \nindustries, based on data from earl…
Prehistoric reef-building coral occurrence in north Peru
Discovery of a late Pleistocene (∼13,300 cal BP) reef-building coral species (Pocillopora damicornis) at the prehistoric Huaca Prieta settlement in Peru raises the question of its origin. Did it arrive in northern Peru from tropical Ecuador via larval dispersal in south-flowing El Niño currents or over land by human trading? The Holocene distribution of Pocillopora in the eastern Pacific extends as far south as southern Ecuador and possibly north…
Early Holocene coca chewing in northern Peru
Chewing coca in South America began by at least 8000 cal BP: our authors found and identified coca leaves of that date in house floors in the Nanchoc Valley, Peru. There were also pieces of calcite - which is used by chewers to bring out the alkaloids from the leaves. Excavation and chemical analysis at a group of neighbouring sites suggests that specialists were beginning to extract and supply lime or calcite, and by association coca, as a commu…

In this book, fifteen distinguished anthropologists offer essays that are committed to a holistic approach to the study of anthropology, with emphasis on the collection of primary data and on sound description and the presentation of empirical facts
Middle Preceramic Public and Residential Sites on the Forested Slope of the Western Andes, Northern Peru
A decade of intermittent archaeological research in the upper Zaña Valley in northern Peru has documented an intensive Middle Preceramic period (ca. 6000-4200 B.C.) occupation in the tropical-forest and thorn-forest ecotone on the western Andean slopes. This research has revealed one stratified nonresidential site (the Cementerio de Nanchoc), characterized by dual earth mounds, and a complex of small, preceramic residential sites in the Nanchoc b…

The Management of Late Andean Irrigation Systems on the North Coast of Peru
Documentary research combined with field study has made possible the reconstruction of the sociopolitical organization of the Late Prehispanic Chimu and Chimu-Inca polities of the North Coast of Peru. Many aspects of the management of the large-scale irrigation networks of the region are integrated into that organization. Rights to the water of a particular canal-and to the lands it watered-can be shown to have been vested in socio-political grou…
