  • Mapping Ancient Structures and Demonstrating Integrated Archaeological Geophysics at Huacas de Moche, Peru

    Open AccessJared Low, Richard Krahenbuhl et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2025References: 12

    At the Huacas de Moche (HdM), one of the most prominent archaeological sites in Trujillo, Peru, the needs of an expanding modern community are in direct conflict with the desire to preserve the wealth of archaeological information. The undetermined extent of the HdM site introduces disputes in land usage where potential archaeological features are destroyed in pursuit of cultivatable land. This work presents the results of an integrated archaeo‐g…

  • Moche chronology of ancient Peru: Bayesian assessment of radiocarbon dates and ceramic styles from north to south

    Open AccessMichele L Koons, Branden Cesare Rizzuto et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2024

    In the last decade Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates has become commonplace for archaeologists grappling with regional chronologies. Here we present Bayesian analysis for radiocarbon dates from Moche cultural contexts from the north coast of Peru with the aim to understand the duration of the phenomenon and to compile all known dates in a single location for future analysis and use. The analysis demonstrates that the long-standing Moche cera…

  • Textiles, dates and identity in the late occupation of the Huacas de Moche, Peru

    Open AccessJeffrey Quilter, Carlos Rengifo Chunga et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2024

    Archaeological cultures present allegories of ethnic identities across the centuries or millennia but such conceptualisations are necessarily incomplete and lack the resolution to explore transitions between cultures. Here, exploration of the archaeological contexts, production methods, stylistic variation and radiocarbon dating of 20 preserved textile fragments facilitates an examination of cultural change at Huaca del Sol (Huacas de Moche, nort…

  • Huacas de Moche: Dos mil años de ocupación prehispánica desde una perspectiva arqueológica

    Open AccessCarlos Rengifo Chunga, Henry Gayoso Rullier et al.ARTICLEEstudios Atacameños Arqueología y…2022Cited by: 1

    Scientific and popular knowledge traditionally associates the iconic Andean archeological site of Huacas de Moche -also known as Huacas del Sol y de la Luna-with the Mochica, or Moche, culture. They say that Huacas de Moche was a city that concentrated the power of a state with ideological and political influence on the northern coast of Peru between 100 and 850 AD. The archaeological remains of the ancient adobe settlement, however, indicate tha…

  • Climate and Social Changes: Reviewing the Equation with Data from the Huacas de Moche Archaeological Complex, Peru

    Open AccessSantiago Uceda, Henry Gayoso Rullier et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2021Cited by: 4References: 37

    Investigations at the site of Huacas de Moche—also referred to as Huacas del Sol and de la Luna—on the north coast of Peru show a continuous occupational sequence from around AD 100 to 1500. The longest occupation corresponds to the Moche culture from around AD 100 to 850. Based on available archaeological evidence, this article examines the impact of an El Niño-like event in AD 600 on the history of Huacas de Moche. Widely held hypotheses assume…
