In the last decade Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates has become commonplace for archaeologists grappling with regional chronologies. Here we present from Moche cultural contexts north coast Peru aim to understand duration phenomenon and compile all known in a single location future use. The demonstrates that long-standing ceramic sequence does not provide perfect proxy tracking timing social interactions. However, our results show general agreement traditional relative Finally, study...
The Late Intermediate period in the south-central Andes is known for widespread use of open sepulchres called chullpas by descent-based ayllus to claim rights resources and express idealized notions how society should be organized. Chullpas, however, were rarer on coast, with dead often buried individually closed tombs. This article documents conditions under which these tombs used at site Quilcapampa coastal plain southern Peru, allowing an exploration into ways that funerary traditions...
Abstract This study aims to characterize the phase composition and chemistry of speiss/matte sample from Metallurgist's Burial at Castillo de Huarmey use information derived these analyses infer temperatures, furnace conditions, ores associated with smelting processes, which created sample. For this purpose, a number geochemical were performed on spies/matte fragment: analysis general chemical (handheld X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry [hhXRF], photoelectron spectroscopy [XPS]), in micro area...
