Andean Statecraft before the Incas
This chapter presents an overview of pre-Inca states in the Andes, describing patterns of statecraft that came before the Inca Empire. The earliest evidence for Andean urbanism and statecraft appeared on the north coast of Peru, where Mochica polities built on earlier processes. A period of local development followed the disintegration of Mochica states, and the Chimú Empire spread across parts of the region in the centuries before Inca incorpora…

Power and Drink
These two books consider power relationships in human societies from diametrically opposite perspectives. Maisels proposes an overarching and universalizing model of ancient state formation from a macroscopic perspective, a valuable exercise that is flawed by significant distortions of the archaeological evidence. In contrast, the articles in the collection edited by Jennings and Bowser examine the ways alcoholic beverages are implicated in power…

Architecture, Settlement, and Formative Developments in the Equatorial Andes: New Discoveries in the Department of Tumbes, Peru
The cultural transformations associated with the Formative period are pivotal for understanding the prehistory of the Americas. Over the last five decades, investigations in southwestern Ecuador have provided an early and robust set of archaeological data relating to Archaic-to-Formative transformations as exemplified by the Las Vegas, Valdivia, Machalilla, and Chorrera archaeological traditions. However, recent archaeological research in adjacen…
Making a huaca: Memory and praxis in prehispanic far northern Peru
Recent studies exploring social memory have led to a growing literature on the 'archaeology of memory' that examines the ways material culture is deployed to make cultural statements about the past by modern, historic, and prehistoric societies. Nonetheless, the archaeology of memory encounters significant theoretical problems and terminological vagaries, shortcomings resolved by an inclusive and more robust theoretical position, the theory of pr…

Copper Metallurgy in a Prehistoric Household, Casma Valley, Peru
Excavations at the site of Manchan in 1982 uncovered evidence for simple copper metallurgy in domestic contexts in a barrio of cane-walled structures. Seventy-eight items with evidence of copper working were located in a 1200 m2 area, representing three activity areas. Evidence indicates that metallurgical activities took place on a simple scale, by part-time craftsmen, and were not spatially separated from domestic activities
The prehistory of Baja California: Advances in the archaeology of the forgotten peninsula
Baja California, stretching 800 miles south into the Pacific Ocean from the California-Mexico border, has been called the forgotten a remote frontier whose natural wonders and history have remained largely unexplored. One of the world's longest peninsulas, Baja California harbors astonishing evidence of the hunting and gathering peoples who once lived here, yet the region has been little studied, and not much has been published about its archaeol…

Pre-Hispanic Beer in Coastal Peru: Technology and Social Context of Prehistoric Production
The native Andean beer, chicha, played a variety of roles in pre-Hispanic Peruvian societies. Commonly made from maize, chicha was both the everyday beverage and an essential element in ritual and social interactions. Most important, political leaders had to reward corvée labor groups with chicha and food as part of the "hospitable repayment" lords were obligated to provide their subjects. The article describes an archeological investigation of c…

Domestic Architecture, Ethnicity, and Complementarity in the South-Central Andes
Domestic Architecture, Ethnicity, and Complementarity in the South-Central Andes is a comprehensive and challenging look at the burgeoning field of Andean domestic architecture. Aldenderfer and fourteen contributors use domestic architecture to explore two major topics in the prehistory of the south-central Andes: the development of different forms of complementary relationships between highland and lowland peoples and the definition of the ethni…
Pattern and Meaning in Prehistoric Peruvian Architecture: The Architecture of Social Control in the Chimu State
Archaeologists have studied buildings for decades, but a very narrow range of analytical approaches has been applied to prehistoric architecture. This paper presents a basic theory of architectural meaning, which has as its principal focus the role of access patterns within buildings as a medium of social control. On the north coast of Peru, Andeanists have held an implicit notion about the relation between access patterns and social control, but…
Cultural Responses to Environmental Catastrophes: Post-El Niño Subsistence on the Prehistoric North Coast of Peru
Recent debate about the development of complex societies on the north coast of Peru has turned on the relative importance of marine vs. terrestrial resources and the extent to which different resource zones are upset by El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. While ENSO events are cited frequently as having important consequences for Prehispanic Andean societies, in fact there are few archaeological data about the nature of cultural responses…

Prehistoric Raised Field Agriculture in the Casma Valley, Peru
Investigations in the Casma Valley, Peru resulted in identification of a complex of prehispanic raised agricultural fields and a prehistoric settlement of agricultural workers established and maintained by the Chimu Empire (A.C. 900–1470), the largest Andean state prior to the Inca. Fieldwork documented that the raised fields 1) covered a maximum of 439 ha, 2) dated from the later phases of Chimu imperial expansion (A.C. 1300–1470), 3) served to …

Cherished are the Dead: Changing Social Dimensions in a Kansas Cemetery
Recent archaeological research at a cemetery in Manhattan, Kansas has identified changing patterns of mortuary practices during ca. A.D. 1860-1980. Analysis of tombstone data indicate systematic changes in the size, style and material of gravestones, reflecting modifications in the ways mortuary memorials were used to represent the status of the dead

Perishable Structures and Serial Dwellings from Coastal Chiapas: Implications for the Archaeology of Households
Perishable structures of pole and thatch construction are abundant in both modern and ancient settlements in Mesoamerica. This essay uses archaeological, ethnographic, and historic data from coastal Chiapas, Mexico, to define the features of such elusive buildings and to examine ways of demonstrating sequential occupation. The emphasis throughout is on investigating perishable structures in both their social and environmental settings

Lithic Procurement and Prehistoric Exchange on the Santa Barbara Coast: The Role of Franciscan Chert
The development of inter-regional exchange systems is one of the outstanding achievements of the native Chumash of southern California, a coastal hunting and gathering society characterized by a relatively high level of cultural complexity. Understanding the evolution of inter-regional exchange is a major research domain, and one element is to characterize the nature and intensity of prehistoric exchange between three macrozones: the offshore isl…

The Archaeology of Dual Organization in Andean South America: A Theoretical Review and Case Study
The concept of dualism has become a major theme in archaeological, ethnohistoric, and ethnographic studies of native South American societies. This article reviews use of the concept by archaeologists and ethnohistorians in the Andes, and considers an ethnohistoric and archaeological case from the Nepeña Valley of the Peruvian North Coast. The review shows that various ideas have been described by the terms “dualism” or “dual organization,” and t…
