Talking Dogs and New Clothes,or the Maritime Foundations Hypothesis Revisited
Hydraulic Engineering and Historical Aspects of the Pre-Columbian Intravalley Canal Systems of the Moche Valley, Peru
The major intravalley canals of the Moche Valley in Peru built during the Late Intermediate Period (ca. 900–1400 A.C.) are analyzed for their engineering design content and design philosophy. An historical overview of the canals reveals successive abandonment of older, higher outlying canals in favor of near-river systems of lesser length. With this retraction there is a concomitant decrease in irrigated land. This paper ascribes this process to …

Hydrological Dynamics and the Evolution of Field Form and Use: Resolving the Knapp-smith Controversy
Ongoing gradual uplift of the Pacific watershed of Peru results in water table subsidence. As a mechanical consequence, the form and use of embankment-bound fields evolve through a series of distinct stages. Conflicting interpretations arise as a consequence of different investigators having addressed field structures in different stages of evolution
The Chicama-Moche Intervalley Canal: Social Explanations and Physical Paradigms
Antithetical premises of a static versus dynamic Andean landscape produce contradictory interpretations of the Chicama-Moche Intervalley Canal. On a static landscape, inoperable canal gradients must be explained by social parameters such as poor surveying or construction techniques. The paradigm of Plate Tectonics and evidence of ongoing crustal convergence support an alternative premise of continuous, gradual landscape alteration and ground slop…
Hydraulic Engineering Aspects of the Chimu Chicama-Moche Intervalley Canal
Of the many canal systems of the Chimu empire the Chicama-Moche Intervalley (La Cumbre) Canal connecting the Chicama and Moche valleys represents the highest level of technical achievement. This paper examines the engineering skills of the Chimu as revealed by computer analysis of the open channel flow design techniques they utilized. Analysis of agricultural strategies made possible by this canal and the surveying skills inherent to its use are …
