Abstract Paleomobility has been a key element in the study of expansion ancient states and empires, including Tiwanaku polity South Central Andes (AD 500–1000). We present radiogenic strontium oxygen isotope data from human burials three cemeteries Tiwanaku‐affiliated Middle Horizon archaeological site complex Rio Muerto Moquegua Valley southern Peru. At Muerto, enamel bone values range 87 Sr/ 86 Sr = 0.70657–0.72018, with mean 0.70804 ± 0.00207 (1σ, n 55). For subset samples analyzed for (...
Gender and other facets of social identity play important roles in the organization complex societies. This study reconstructs dietary practices within Middle Horizon (AD 500-1000) Tiwanaku colonies southern Peru to increase our knowledge gendered patterns consumption this early expansive state.We use stable isotope analysis 43 human bone samples representing 14 females, 20 males, 8 juveniles, 1 indeterminate individual recovered from burial excavations at sites Rio Muerto Omo Moquegua...
Guinea pigs (Cavia spp.) have a long association with humans. From as early 10,000 years ago they were wild food source. Later, domesticated Cavia porcellus dispersed well beyond their native range through pre-Columbian exchange networks and, more recently, widely across the globe. Here we present 46 complete mitogenomes of archaeological guinea from sites in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Caribbean, Belgium and United States to elucidate evolutionary history, origins paths dispersal. Our results...
The analysis of 87Sr/86Sr has become a robust tool for identifying non-local individuals at archaeological sites. in human bioapatite reflects the geological signature food and water consumed during tissue development. Modeling relationships between environments, webs, tissues is critical moving from non-locals to determining their likely provenience. In Andes, obstacles sample geolocation include overlapping distant geographies poor understanding mixed strontium sources drink. Here,...
Abstract Objectives Contemporary migrations show form and intensity of interaction between homeland host communities to shape social dynamics identities. We apply here a contemporary theoretical framework biogeochemical analyses elucidate the scale , processes impacts migration in Tiwanaku polity (6th–11th c. CE) by inferring mobility individuals interred at Tiwanaku‐affiliated site Omo M10 (Moquegua Valley, Peru). Materials Methods For each 124 individuals, we captured paleomobility across...
