Modeling the Sacred
Architecture and its attendant meanings are the subject of an exceptional group of ceramics produced by the Paracas (c. 800–200 BCE) of south coastal Peru. Masterfully executed in patterned detail, these designs encapsulate a moment in pictorial history that parallels innovation in building design and public acts of display. This essay considers how these architectonic features were pictured and demonstrates the significance of the forms. I exami…
A material and technical study of Paracas painted ceramics
La sustancia y el contexto de las ofrendas rituales de la cerámica paracas
Los paracas (900 a.C.-1 d.C.) son ampliamente reconocidos por su cerámica, que luce patrones de diseño que van desde la arcillaincisa hasta la pintura post cocción. El análisis de las vasijas, efigies, figurillas e instrumentos musicales intactos recuperados enlas tumbas centró durante mucho tiempo la atención en asuntos cronológicos e iconográficos, y en la evaluación del prestigio de lasmismas. Diversos contextos arqueológicos nos ofrecen una i…
From Queshqa to Callango: A Paracas obsidian assemblage from the lower Ica Valley, Peru
Obsidian constitutes a significant lithic material recovered from Paracas (first millennium B.C.) sites in south coastal Peru. Its presence in a variety of site contexts indicates that interaction with the neighboring highlands was well established, as one of the principal sources is Quispisisa at a distance of 225 km. In this study we discuss an obsidian assemblage from the Callango sector of the lower Ica Valley and the results of neutron activ…
Itinerant Experts, Alternative Harvests: Kamayuqin the Service ofQhapaqand Crown
Inka expansion into south coastal Peru (Chinchasuyu) is well documented in the archaeological record and in historical narratives that celebrate Inka achievements in Ica and Chincha. The lesser-known Pisco Valley equally benefited from Inka largesse as a result of a restructuring of the region by Thupa Inka, who is thought to have dispatched corps of occupational specialists (kamayuq) there. Centering on a group of kamayuq in Pisco, this research…
The Body Context: Interpreting Early Nasca Decapitated Burials
One of the most enigmatic aspects of decapitation practices among south coastal Peruvian Paracas and Nasca cultures (900 B.C.-A.D. 750) is the near absence of headless bodies in the archaeological record. Drawing on a case study of an Early Nasca, Phase 3 headless burial at Site PV62D13 in the lower Ica Valley, together with examples of headless interments reported in the literature, I examine the nature and disposition of headless burials. Three…
