Abstract Excavations at the Wacheqsa sector from Chavin de Huantar identified contexts Middle Formative (1100–900 BC) and Late (900–550 periods. We present results of starch analysis conducted in culinary equipment (ceramics) retrieved domestic occupations a large midden. Microbotanical revealed variety plant food resources, such as maize, beans, olluco, possibly chili peppers.
During the late Initial Period (c. 1100-800 BC), Conchucos region of highland Peru witnessed formation ceremonial and “proto-urban” center Chavín de Huántar 1000-500/400 BC). An important question regarding centers on nature its subsistence economy during time when it was first founded. In this paper, we present new results from zooarchaeological, starch granule, stable isotope (δ 13 C δ 15 N) analyses to reconstruct diet Canchas Uckro, a settlement located in Huántar's heartland region....

The elevated fertility the often deep A horizon ADEs is widely regarded as an outcome pre-Columbian human influence. Controversially, their recent paper Silva et al.2argue higher principally a result fluvial deposition peoples just made use these locales rather than contributing to enhancement. Soil formation...
This article presents the first direct archaeological evidence of nixtamalization, a chemical process that improves nutritional value maize, among ancient Maya people Guatemala. Analysis microbotanical remains recovered from two chultunes, pits cut into bedrock, in Late and Terminal Classic period residential group at site San Bartolo, Petén, Guatemala, provides recovery maize starch spherulites, unique byproduct thus earliest nixtamalization record. The presence helminth eggs within same...
