The Renaissance Foundations of Anthropology
The comparative point of view of anthropology rests on recognition that there are physical and cultural differences among human populations which must be taken into account in any attempt to generalize about mankind. Renaissance studies of Classical antiquity not only stimulated a general interest in differences among men, they also provided models for describing such differences. The recognition was an achievement of the Italian Renaissance and,…
A Question of Time
Betanzo’s narrative, as a translation of Inca accounts, provides excellent evidence for the Incas’ recording of linear time. In contrast to the Spaniards, the Incas were interested in specifying the passage of time recounting important deeds. These time spans can be added up and the totals used to verify certain historical episodes recorded by the chroniclers and also to compare sources. Moreover, we can use these data to establish the ages of so…

The Inca Civil War and the Establishment of Spanish Power in Peru
To understand what was involved in establishing Spanish power in Peru, one must compare the official dispatches sent to Spain by Pizarro with the unofficial accounts of other Spaniards who were present. The political turmoil caused by the death of Huayna Capac provided the material Pizarro needed to acquire control. By lying and manipulation he engineered the murder of Atau Huallpa and the naming of one of his own allies as Inca. Contrary to comm…
Stratigraphy and Seriation
Stratigraphic interpretation rests on two principles: the principle of superposition and the principle that deposition units can be identified by cultural content. The sequence of deposition units derived from a case of superposition may not give a true cultural sequence if mixing, filling, or collecting has affected the cultural contents of the units. There are two kinds of seriation: evolutionary seriation, done on the basis of an assumed gener…

How Did the Incas Say “Sacsahuaman” in the Sixteenth Century
We have a considerable body of material writ ten in dialect of Inca language was spo ken in Cuzco in sixteenth century (Classic Inca), and there are several grammars and dictionaries of it. In an article published in 1950,1 compared some of modern dialects of Inca with written record of Classic dialect, identified sound changes have taken place, and explained how materi als written in Classic dialect can be interpreted to reconstruct sixteenth ce…

Stages and Periods in Archaeological Interpretation
Urban Settlements in Ancient Peru
There were urban settlements in ancient Peru which were comparable in size and cultural importance with the great cities of antiquity in the Old ?orldo Large urban settlements were built in Peru much earlier than is generally recognized; one preceramic site of this character is known from the central coast? The story of the urban pattern in Peru in later times is not one of simple expansion through the growth of existing settlements and the estab…
Absolute Chronology in the Andean Area
Although a reliable relative chronology, based chiefly on the sequence of pottery types, is rapidly being built up for the Andean area, no method has so far been devised for turning the relative dates into absolute ones. As far as we know at present, no permanent method of dating, comparable to the Maya Long Count or even to the Mexican fifty-two-year cycle, was in use in any part of South America, and no one has yet investigated the possibility …
The Incas Under Spanish Colonial Institutions
The Incas Under Spanish Colonial Institutions JOHN HOWLAND ROWE* NCA resistance to the Spanish invasion was bitter, obsti nate, and frequently effective. Pizarro's expeditionary force occupied Tumbez in 1532, and it was not until 1539, when the Inca army of Charcas surrendered and Manqo 'Inka retired to Vileabamba, that Spanish control of the country was secure. The story of Inca resistance in this period has never been told in a co herent fash…
Archaeological Explorations in Southern Peru, 1954-1955
From March, 1954, through the whole of the year 1955 the University of California at Berkeley sponsored a program of archaeological field work in southern Peru and related studies in museums of the United States. In Peru the expedition worked out of 2 bases, one at Cuzco in the highlands and the other at lea on the south coast. It was concerned primarily with archaeological survey and exploration, although excavations were also made at 2 Inca per…

What Kind of a Settlement Was Inca Cuzco
It is common practice among students of settlement patterns to make a distinction between cities and ceremonial centers, considering the two as exclusive categories.^The term city, like many of the categories we use cross-culturally, has very definite referents in our own cultural tradition, so that its use implies a comparison with European cities. A city should have a large resident population. A ceremonial center is usually understood to be a …

Reconnaissance Notes on the Site of Huari, near Ayacucho, Peru
Ever since the late Julio C. Tello gave it a prominent place in his scheme of the development of Peruvian culture the great site of Huari (or Wari, as Tello always wrote it) has been a vexing problem in Andean archaeology. As was the case with so many of his explorations, Tello never published a report on his work at Huari and his general statements about what he found there leave the reader in considerable confusion. The authors of this paper to…

Worsaae's Law and the Use of Grave Lots for Archaeological Dating
The principle that the objects accompanying a burial are in most cases things which were in use at the same time was first stated by J. J. A. Worsaae in 1843. This principle rests on several assumptions, among them that it was customary to place objects beside the dead only at the time of burial, and that the objects so placed were ones owned or used by the occupant or his friends at the time of his death. There is at least one area, the Andean s…
Diffusionism and Archaeology
Doctrinaire diffusionism is a menace to the development of sound archaeological theory based on comparative studies; it distracts archaeologists from such studies and seeks to destroy the basis of comparison. Diffusionist arguments are defective in principle, however. The bias in the selection of data for these arguments can be illustrated by listing cultural similarities between ancient Peru and the ancient Mediterranean
The Sunken Gardens of the Peruvian Coast
Sunken gardens are a response to a situation in which ground water is near the surface of a desert but does not reach it. Since the 19th century this situation has generally been met in Peru by raising water from wells for canal irrigation. No mechanical means of raising water was known in ancient Peru, however, and sunken gardens provided the most economical solution to the problem. Ground water occurs near the surface on the Peruvian coast in s…

The Distribution of Indians and Indian Languages in Peru
T HE publication of the first volume of reports on the Peruvian census of 1940 has put at the disposal of geographers and anthropologists a vast amount of material bearing directly on problems that have been argued for the last thirty years.' The tables now available summarize only certain aspects of the returns, but enough information is given to suggest some interesting conclusions. It is the purpose of the present article to analyze the census…
On Absolute Dating and North Coast History
While I have become less, rather than more, certain of the possibility of correlating traditional dynasty lists with archaeological periods since American Antiquity published my paper on the subject, the possibility is still worth exploring in an area where we have so few absolute dates to go on. In this connection, I would like to call the attention of the meeting to a document on Chimu history which, to my shame, I ran across only recently, tho…
On Basic Highland Culture
Since distance and field work obligations will unfortunately prevent my attendance at the Viking Fund-Institute of Andean Research meeting on Peruvian prehistory, I would like my colleagues to accept a few written notes on one of the subjects that will probably be discussed: the problem of basic highland culture. I am not sure that I understand why the problem was posed in terms of the highlands alone. My impression of the Peruvian archaeological…

Andean Culture History
Wendell C. Bennett was kind enough to call attention to an error in my recent review of his and Bird's Andean Culture History (American Antiquity, Vol. 16, No. 2, October, 1950, pp. 170-172) which I would like to correct. In discussing the spatial division of the Central Andes I tried to reconstruct the sequence of Bennett's ideas on the subject and made the assumption that order of publication reflected order of composition. This assumption is a…
