Volcanic stone sculptures of were-animals at Tiwanaku: PXRF and statistical analyses suggest regional geochemical provenance of chachapuma statues
Lithic Analysis of Andean Sedentary Societies: A Case Study from the Chachapoyas Region, Peru, and Potential Applications
In the archaeological tradition of what is today Peru, studies of sedentary agricultural groups have accorded a minor role to the analysis of stone tools relative to other suites of material culture. Here, we illustrate the value of such lithic collections via a case study of settlement sites from the Chachapoyas region of northern Peru (AD 300-1500). This study demonstrates the potential of methods such as use-wear microscopy and raw material an…
The Suñawa Monolith and a Genre of Extended-Arm Sculptures at Tiwanaku, Bolivia
From pre-Columbian times until today, monolithic stone sculptures have constituted the public face of Tiwanaku. Researchers, however, have nearly exclusively focused on the sculptural class that we
Earthen Terrace Technologies and Environmental Adaptation in the Montane Forests of Pre-Columbian Northeastern Peru
The pre-Columbian Andes are renowned for agricultural terrace systems in areas of steep terrain. Most studies have concentrated on regions characterized by seasonally-variable limited precipitation, yet research in high-precipitation and cloud-forest regions of the North and Eastern Andes demonstrates the diversity of terrace technologies adapted to different landscapes. This paper presents research from survey, excavation, and digital modeling o…
La diversidad local frente a la «Cultura Chachapoya» en la arquitectura doméstica
Este artculo critica la idea que las sociedades preinka de Chachapoyas compartieran una tradicin de arquitectura domstica que las distinguieran de las regiones vecinas. Con frecuencia, la presencia de una supuesta arquitectura chachapoya en un contexto arqueolgico se toma como indicador de tales sociedades. Como resultado, el concepto ha adquirido importancia notable en una situacin actual de estudios regionales, en la que se vienen acumulando ev…
La (re)construcción de Chachapoyas a través de la historia e histografía
Una mirada hacia el futuro: Nuevas direcciones en la arqueología de los Andes nororientales
Si bien en la introducción revisamos el desarrollo de los estudios regionales y las rutas por las cuales llegamos al momento en que nos encontramos, en este capítulo contextualizamos los artículos anteriores entre las tendencias actuales y consideramos las direcciones futuras que la arqueología regional promete seguir. Discutimos las cuestiones más urgentes que quedan por resolver, las bases de datos que hoy en día faltan para llegar a estas meta…
Domestic architecture and the materiality of public-making in pre-Columbian Eastern Peru
Understanding how publics were constituted in specific socio-historical settings is critical to understanding political practice in past societies. Yet the persistent use of terms such as "public space" and "public architecture" belies the influence of binary models of public and private life that still impact understandings of domestic life and residential architecture. I argue that the continued influence of these models results from the notion…
Settlement Organization and Architecture in Late Intermediate Period Chachapoyas, Northeastern Peru
Chachapoya societies that lived on the forested eastern slopes of the Andes in northern Peru between A.D. 1000 and 1450 remain largely absent from broader narratives of the Andean Late Intermediate period (LIP). This paper argues that environmentally deterministic frameworks and lingering Inka biases have led scholars to problematically isolate Chachapoyans from their highland contemporaries. This work reviews three aspects of Chachapoya built en…
