Strontium isotopes and the geographic origins of camelids in the Virú Valley, Peru
The Chaîne Opératoire as an Approach to Distinguish between the Ceramic Production of the Viru and the Moche Polities on the North Coast of Peru
Ceramics play a central role in the debates around the relationship between the Viru and the Moche. A recent model considers Negative and Moche-decorated ceramics produced by potters affiliated with the elites to be the cultural markers of the Viru and Moche populations, respectively. Due to the similarity of Viru and Moche plain-wares and the presence of Castillo Decorated ceramics in Viru and Moche contexts, this model sees both types of cerami…
El cacicazgo de la guaranga de los mitimaes yungas de Huamachuco (Perú) y la lucha entre dos autoridades étnicas por el poder, siglo XVI
El presente artículo explora las prácticas sociopolíticas indígenas en la antigua provincia de Huamachuco (norte del Perú), a través del análisis de un documento legal de la primera década del siglo XVII. Se analiza un pleito sobre la organización política indígena del área, ilustrando sobre la interacción entre un cacicazgo en la sierra de Huamachuco y un cacicazgo en una zona intermedia entre la costa y la sierra, el de Simbal. Basados en este …

A Group of Geoglyphs in the Lower Carabamba Valley, Northern Peru
In 2019, while conducting a survey of the Carabamba River valley (ca. 150-3,325 m asl) in northern Peru, we identified and surveyed a group of five unreported geoglyphs. Their location and iconography suggest that they date from the Formative period (1800-200 BC) and that they were possibly associated with a form of fertility ritual
Cultural filiations between the Virú communities, Early Intermediate Period, northern coast of Peru
Migration and maize in the Virú Valley
Objectives Stable isotope analysis can provide crucial insight into the function and development of early state‐level societies on the north coast of Peru. Materials and Methods Multi‐tissue (bone collagen, tooth enamel, hair, nail, skin, and tendon) stable isotope analyses (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and strontium) were conducted for 13 individuals from the lower Virú Valley. Results Non‐seasonal changes in a predominantly C 4 ‐based terrestrial …

An Integrated isotopic study of Early Intermediate Period camelid husbandry in the Santa Valley, Perú
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions were determined for camelid bone collagen, hair, and wool (fibre) sampled from textiles from archaeological sites in the Santa Valley (north coast of Perú) occupied during Moche III (El Castillo, A.D. 300−500) and Moche IV (Guadalupito, A.D. 500−700) phases; a small number of camelid bone collagen samples were also analysed from the Late Suchimancillo Phase (A.D. 0−300). These data suggest that loca…

Peanuts and Power in the Andes
ines the social practices surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of one economic plant, peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), at the Early Intermediate Period (200 BC to AD 800) sites of Huaca Santa Clara and Huaca Gallinazo, located in the Vir Valley, La Libertad region of Peru (Figure
Stable Isotope Sourcing of Wool from Textiles at Pacatnamú
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions were determined for wool textiles from the Lambayeque ( c . ad 1100–1320) occupation at Pacatnamú in the Jequetepeque Valley, northern Peru. The isotopic data demonstrate that the wool was not obtained via long‐distance exchange with the highlands and was most probably derived from locally raised camelids. In light of other lines of evidence (diversity of dyes used to produce the same colours in te…
The Untapped Potential of Magnetic Survey in the Identification of Precontact Archaeological Sites in Wooded Areas
Evaluating the archaeological potential of wooded areas is often difficult because many of the techniques archaeologists commonly use to locate and map archaeological sites elsewhere are less effective in the trees. Ground cover hinders the visual identification of surface artifacts during pedestrian survey, and the tree canopy impedes many of the techniques used to map areas of interest, such as optical theodolites and DGPS. Shovel test pitting,…
Early Horizon camelid management practices in the Nepeña Valley, north-central coast of Peru
South American camelids (llamas and alpacas) were of great economic, social and ritual significance in the pre-Hispanic Andes. Although these animals are largely limited to high-altitude (>3500 masl) pastures, it has been hypothesised that camelids were also raised at lower altitudes in the arid coastal river valleys. Previous isotopic studies of Early Intermediate Period (c. 200 BC–AD 600) and Middle Horizon (c. AD 600–1100) camelids support thi…
Origins of Prehispanic Camelid Wool Textiles from the North and Central Coasts of Peru Traced by Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopic Analyses
Carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of wool textiles from the north (Virú, Early Intermediate Period) and central (Chancay, Late Intermediate Period) coasts of Peru were used to reconstruct the diet and habitat of the camelids (llamas and alpacas) from which they were produced in order to better understand the regional political economies. The Chancay textiles were derived from camelids primarily raised on highaltitude C3 grasslands. Simila…
Small scale camelid husbandry on the north coast of Peru (Virú Valley)
Large variation in nitrogen isotopic composition of a fertilized legume
Geophysical Survey on the Coast of Peru
Recent geophysical survey at the early urban center of the Gallinazo Group in the Virú Valley highlights the potential for a multifaceted approach to remote sensing on the desert coast of South America and underscores the value of these well-established techniques for the rapid and detailed mapping of complex urban architecture. The Gallinazo Group (100 B.C.-A.D. 700) was an early city home to a population of between 10,000 and 14,400 people livi…
Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopic Survey of Northern Peruvian Plants
The development of isotopic baselines for comparison with paleodietary data is crucial, but often overlooked. We review the factors affecting the carbon (δ(13)C) and nitrogen (δ(15)N) isotopic compositions of plants, with a special focus on the carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of twelve different species of cultivated plants (n = 91) and 139 wild plant species collected in northern Peru. The cultivated plants were collected from nineteen…
Influence of seabird guano and camelid dung fertilization on the nitrogen isotopic composition of field-grown maize (Zea mays)
Un fardo funerario procedente de Huaca Santa Clara, valle de Virú (ca. 1150 a. D.)
En este artículo se describen los textiles de un fardo funerario descubierto en Huaca Santa Clara, en el valle de Virú, el cual contenía los restos de un niño pequeño acompañado por otros niños y llamas sacrificadas. Los tejidos asociados a este entierro intrusivo —realizado unos cuatro siglos después del abandono del sitio por los miembros de la sociedad Virú— resultan de fundamental importancia dado que no solamente nos ayudan a entender la nat…
Ancient urban morphology in the Virú Valley, Peru
Research on the Early Intermediate period (100 B.C.–A.D. 700), which witnessed the emergence of states and urban life along the coast of northern Peru, has been hampered by a lack of information regarding settlement size and population estimates. This paper presents the results of an integrated program of excavation, sub-soil probing, and magnetometer survey at the Gallinazo Group in the Viru Valley that shed light on the size of the ancient sett…

The Manipulation of Human Remains in Moche Society
A careful reexamination of funerary contexts suggests that Moche (ca. A.D. 100-800) graves were not simply spaces for the disposal of decaying corpses, but contexts periodically revisited by certain members of Moche society. The dynamic nature of funerary practices is documented through an examination of delayed burials. It is argued that these were the product of two distinct ritual processes, one of which involved the storage of corpses to be u…
