The study is based on the analysis of a “field report” found in the official records of the National Institute of Culture, it yielded important information from an archaeological site -now gone- that was excavated for Luis Ccosi Salas, was more 60 years in the Summer of 1951. Was located in El Olivar de San Isidro, and his story now becomes, therefore, be a “pyramid with ramps. The author of the document in question provided descriptions of all rooms and architectural elements. Similarly, functions and values assigned to each set. In addition, illustrated the architectural details with care. This study examines the formal characteristics of the site, and integrates the architectural discovered in a certain time. Finally enter your question in the context of the central coast. This discusses the new theoretical account of the operation “ramped pyramids.”

Plantea que en la zona de Carapongo, en el valle bajo del Rímac, se configuró una entidad política del tipo Curacazgo llamada Carapongo. Su administración territorial se definió mediante la extensión del área irrigable, por el sistema de infraestructura hidráulica, compuesto por los canales de Carapongo 1 y 2. Este sistema hidráulico se articuló adecuadamente la infraestructura urbana durante el Ychsma medio, del periodo Intermedio Tardío. Consideramos que el territorio costeño se define, tanto por la magnitud del área geográfica irrigable por un sistema de infraestructura hidráulica, como por el conjunto de relaciones económicas, jurídicas y sociales que se genera a través del tiempo. La administración de este espacio geográfico e hidráulico de la zona de Carapongo, se realizó a través del asentamiento de Carapongo B, como asentamiento principal y Caraponguillo co...

In this paper we analyze contextual and stylistically a set of finely decorated gourds, from the collection of gourds Huallamarca recovered in excavations directed by Dr. Jiménez Borja at huaca Pan de Azúcar in 1958. The gourds have studied simple and naturalistic images that refer to a secular field, agricultural and coastal. The large number of decorated gourds in a context of elite tombs, makes us think of a function, which would go beyond the strictly utilitarian. Piles of pumpkins decorated as large plates, carefully stored inside packages would imply at least that the holder would have a household could face a public activity. Reciprocity as a social, political and economic, would be supported in funerary context quality and new symbols of power that characterize the large coastal chiefs and gentlemen of the initial part of the Late Intermediate Period of the Central Coast.

This study aimed to characterize some of the ingredients typical of the ceramic phase Ichma Beginner, it is used exclusively for qualifying order stylistic parameters, to establish categories confrontations and contrasts. We believe that this is even necessary to create appropriate methodological tools to achieve results of greater explanatory scope and accuracy. In this process shows that the conformation of the different styles that make up the complex stylistic Ichma called Initial, involving both internal and external factors. Each has a different degree and mode of penetration and influence. In the second instance can be seen that the styles are not organized the same way. So much so that the form and decoration (where there are elements associated with the technique, composition and design), may each of them an independent movement, and to no stylistic traditions related to particu...

This study discusses the entries are made in the archaeological literature about the presence of a decorated material on the basis of incisions and points. For it is analyzed, it classified and characterized a small collection of ceramic fragments from Huallamarca. This material is inserted into a larger collection showing stylistic, chronological and cultural coherence. This allowed us to identify recurrences and particularities and define its chronological position. So Hualla paragraph punching style, is assigned to the first part of the Late Intermediate Period (PIT 1-3). It also presents a particularity of the cultural component of this society, reflected in a kind of opposition and complements its cultural manifestations.
