Inspiring Civic Engagement Through Bioarchaeology and Biological Anthropology
Migration and state expansion: Archaeological and biochemical evidence from Pataraya, a wari outpost in Nasca, Peru (A.D. 650–1000)
Bioarchaeological Analyses of Nasca “Trophy” Head Individuals from the Site of Zorropata, Las Trancas Valley, Peru (450–1000 C.E.)
The acquisition, modification, and curation of heads was endemic in the ancient Andes, especially among the Nasca (1–650 C.E.) on the south coast of Peru. Analyzing this central cultural behavior in context is crucial to understanding how the Nasca flourished in a marginal region. While well-dated Nasca isolated heads (NIHs) are not common due to looting, we present new bioarchaeological, isotopic, and hormonal data on eight NIHs recovered from t…
Early imperialism in the Andes: Wari colonisation of Nasca
The highland Wari (AD 600-1000) were an influential and expansive Andean civilisation, yet the nature and organisation of Wari power is debated. For example, it is suggested that coastal Nasca was governed by Wari, but doubts remain about its role in the region. Recent excavations at Huaca del Loro in Nasca have uncovered rectilinear compounds, a D-shaped temple, a large cemetery and a domestic area. The authors suggest that this evidence reflect…
Comparing ritual foods and everyday diet from the Middle Horizon site of Tenahaha, Cotahuasi, Peru using stable isotope and macrobotanical analyses

The Intersection of Politics and Pedagogy: Teaching Race in Biological Anthropology
As a biological anthropologist, I discuss controversial issues such as race, gender, and anti-scientism with my students. In the light of the 2016 presidential election and the documented upswing of racist attacks at campuses and in everyday life, I tackle the issue of teaching about race in the upcoming academic year. Biological anthropologists should be at the forefront of helping students understand what race is (and is not) and how racism wor…
Multivariate carbon and nitrogen stable isotope model for the reconstruction of prehistoric human diet
Using a sample of published archaeological data, we expand on an earlier bivariate carbon model for diet reconstruction by adding bone collagen nitrogen stable isotope values (δ 15 N), which provide information on trophic level and consumption of terrestrial vs. marine protein. The bivariate carbon model (δ 13 C apatite vs. δ 13 C collagen ) provides detailed information on the isotopic signatures of whole diet and dietary protein, but is limited…
Dietary Correlates to the Development of Nasca Social Complexity (A.D. 1–750)
This study examines the relationship between agricultural intensification and social complexity in past societies using a diachronic, contextualized population, the Nasca of the southern coast of Peru (A.D. 1–750). Using stable isotope analysis of human bone collagen, we tested social assumptions arising from the relationship between agricultural intensification and social complexity during the Nasca’s cultural fluorescence, including the constru…

Wari’s imperial influence on local Nasca diet: The stable isotope evidence
A simple carbon isotope model for reconstructing prehistoric human diet
A compilation of experimental animal data shows that neither δ 13 C collagen nor δ 13 C apatite nor Δ 13 C CO‐AP indicate diagnostic reconstructions of diet, diet energy and diet protein. In contrast, plots of δ 13 C collagen against δ 13 C apatite provide a model of three regression lines (C 3 , C 4 , and marine diet protein) where position on each line indicates the energy source (C 3 , C 4 , or mixed). Neither body size nor trophic position ap…
