Middendorf Huaca towards the end of the Early Intermediate Period and the beginning of the Middle Horizon (around AD 250-600), was part of the component of the Maranga Complex, a site close to the Lima society. This research focuses on the panorama of the disarticulated remains from this site, excavated by the Maranga Archaeological Project (PRAMA). The study sample comes from the south-central sector of the west platform, a space occupied by the clearing of ancient excavations, where disarticulated human remains from a population of the Lima period were recovered. This research aimed to characterize the population in paleo-demographic terms while providing methodological strategies focusing on the treatment of bone conglomerates as an analysis potential. Therefore, we could record and characterize 2928 skeletal elements in terms of their diagnostic features (minimum number of individual...

The excavations realized by the Archeological Program of the Federico Villarreal University, were focused in the Oquendo area, lower valley of the Chillon river, central coast of Peru at the end of 90´s; it convered excavations in the mounds: 4, 5 and 6; its stratums contained white on red pottery, organic materials, combustion activities (pit) and others; all of them associated a temporal occupations. This data permitted us to make comparisons with certain sites of the Lurin valley, Chancay and Rimac rivers (Patterson 1966a, 1966b, y 2014; Córdova 1999; Goldhausen 2014; Acero 2015 and others), which they kept into the culture dynamic problematic and the white on red pottery presence, its used mean popularity with differentes nuances, since the perspective focused in the Chillon valley during the Early Intermediate Period.
