Al presentar este ensayo, deseo explorar cómo algunos de nuestros hallazgos en los estudios en Magdalena de Cao Viejo, en el valle de Chicama, se relacionan con la cuestión de examinar identidades en un sitio del Período Colonial Temprano. Empezaré por describir el sitio en general y, luego, me enfocaré en líneas clave de evidencia de los problemas y potencialidades de identificar asimilación, acomodación, hibridación y resistencia a través de la arqueología, especialmente, en nuestro programa de estudios desde el año 2004 hasta el presente.

The occupation of the Formative in the El Brujo archaeological complex has not yet been fully investigated. The remains of this period are concentrated to the south of the geological platform, between Huaca Paredones to the north and Huaca Prieta to the south. As is known, Huaca Prieta was investigated by Junius Bird in the 1940s and in 2012 Tom Dillehay and his team excavated the same Preceramic mound and other areas, whose radiocarbon dates exceed 14,000 years old. In this article, the results that the El Brujo Archaeological Program obtained in the years 1996 and 2004-2005 are presented with the purpose of understanding the occupation of this period to the south of the archaeological complex. Indeed, it reports the excavation of four human burials in oval pits associated with Cupisnique-style ceramics, located to the south east of the Paredones Mound and, in addition, the findings of ...

There are many unanswered questions about the population history of the Central and South Central Andes, particularly regarding the impact of large-scale societies, such as the Moche, Wari, Tiwanaku, and Inca. We assembled genome-wide data on 89 individuals dating from ~9000-500 years ago (BP), with a particular focus on the period of the rise and fall of state societies. Today’s genetic structure began to develop by 5800 BP, followed by bi-directional gene flow between the North and South Highlands, and between the Highlands and Coast. We detect minimal admixture among neighboring groups between ~2000-500 BP, although we do detect cosmopolitanism (people of diverse ancestries living side-by-side) in the heartlands of the Tiwanaku and Inca polities. We also reveal cases of long-range mobility connecting the Andes to Argentina, and the Northwest Andes to the Amazon Basin.
