This investigation was initiated at the request of the mayor of the district of Santa Cruz de Flores and the National University Federico Villarreal (specialty of Anthropology and Archaeology) in order to conduct an interdisciplinary study on the cultural heritage of the district. Painfully the project did not reach its final phase (publication), but archaeological field stage if culminate reached. In this way we meddle in social understanding and cultural archaeological sites jurisdiction, identifying local people apparently migrated or were displaced to the bottom from the village of Callaguaya (upper section of Mala), at the end of the period Middle Horizon (600-1000 AD.) or early Late Intermediate Period (1000-1470 AD.). Then they will be strategically occupied by the Incas during the Late Horizon (1470-1532 AD.) Period for control and management of the area, demonstrating this proce...

ABSTRACT The present investigation focuses on the comparative study of the ceramic material of the Castillo Modelado and Inciso styles from the archaeological sites Huacas de Moche, Huaca Las Estrellas and Castillo de Tomabal. The inclusion of clay samples from the Moche and Virú quarries was fundamental at the compositional level during the process of multivariate statistical analysis, after the application of the X-ray fluorescence analytical technique (FRX). The results showed that Castillo Modelado and Inciso styles were imported from the Virú Valley to sites in the Moche Valley such as Huacas de Moche and Huaca Las Estrellas, but then they were copied and produced locally. These styles would have an autonomous character in relation to the elitist Virú-Gallinazo and Mochica styles. Indeed, it would be a domestic ceramic tradition of the North Coast of Peru and, therefore, should n...

La presente investigación se centra en analizar los aspectos tecnológicos del material cerámico de los estilos Castillo Modelado e Inciso registrados en el Conjunto Arquitectónico N° 35, sector del núcleo urbano del sitio arqueológico Huacas de Moche (50-850 d.C.). Para lo cual, con el propósito de definir los estilos, procesos y variaciones del material cerámico en estudio, el planteamiento metodológico empleado parte del concepto de la Cadena Tecnológica Operativa (C.T.O.), cuyas propuestas referentes a la cultura material permitieron desarrollar un modelo de trabajo conformado por el análisis del material cerámico (análisis formal), análisis de la base de datos contextual y la Cadena Técnica desde la C.T.O. Además, de manera complementaria se cruzaron datos procedentes de estudios arqueométricos aplicados a la muestra en estudio. Los resultados evidenciaron que el ma...

This preliminary research results from prospecting and archaeological survey conducted in the valley under the Chillon. The central area is the left side and from the archaeological site Huaca Pro series Formal and Perceptive characters that allow an understanding of the social dynamics are analyzed. The settlement is analyzed within and interspace level, approaching proxemic sense understanding between nearby. All this through indicators such as siting, orientation, spatial configuration, materials, elements, etc., reflecting roles that were acquired by the Huaca Pro for late pre-Hispanic period.
