The results of the Huacramarca Archaeological Research Project field seasons are presented. These results have allowed defining the extent and internal organization of a Late Intermediate Period settlement of the southern side of the Yanamayo basin. Excavations have provided significant contexts that will allow reconstructing different activities that took place in the residential structures that characterized Huacramarca. In addition, survey results reveal an extensive occupation of the Huacramarca Mountain, with several smaller settlements and funerary structures spread throughout the mountain slopes. Finally, research results have been complemented with preservation and restoration procedures that have allowed the enhancement of the monument.

We report our results on compositional characterization of a ceramic sample from the site of Huacramarca, located in the Ancash region (Peruvian North-Central Highlands). ese results are based don XRD, XRF AND Mössbauer Espectroscopy analyses. Previous identication of compositional variability (based on macroscopical observations) suggest a pattern between dierent kinds of tempers and clay sources. Such patterns are strongly correlated with the variability identied through the outlined techniques, which allowed to go further and consider that alternative pottery-making processes were responsible for the Huacramarca assemblage. is suggests the possibility of dierent groups of people co-habiting in the settlement during the early part of the Late Intermediate Period.

Prospecciones llevadas a cabo en 1993 permitieron la ubicación de unos 30 sitios monumentales del Periodo Formativo en la parte media del valle de Fortaleza. Los autores proponen una tipología de la arquitectura, una cronología y corología basadas en comparaciones con sitios al norte y al sur, un patrón de distribución y su relación con la tierra cultivable así como las posibles funciones y la importancia social de estos sitios en el curso del Periodo Formativo.

La naturaleza de las sociedades del Periodo Arcaico Tardío en la costa norcentral ha sido, probablemente, uno de los temas más recurrentes en los últimos 10 años. Para contribuir a esta discusión, se hace necesaria una evaluación de la calidad de la base empírica existente hasta el día de hoy en el registro arqueológico. Una revisión de los datos documentados revela la necesidad de establecer con mayor precisión las características del diseño arquitectónico y el proceso constructivo de los conspicuos edificios públicos de este periodo. Además, muestra que es necesario el afinamiento de las secuencias ocupacionales de los distintos complejos arquitectónicos del Periodo Arcaico Tardío en la costa norcentral como requisito para entender las características procesales del desarrollo cultural que allí se dio. Esta revisión parte de los datos recuperados en las excavacione...

Las excavaciones realizadas en el sitio de Cerro Lampay, ubicado en el valle de Fortaleza, costa norcentral del Perú, permiten evaluar el rol de actividades, como los festines, en la organización de labores constructivas dentro del contexto del Periodo Arcaico Tardío. Estas excavaciones permitieron obtener un registro detallado de un proceso constructivo que concluyó con el "enterramiento" de los conjuntos arquitectónicos. Algo notorio es que la construcción no se dio en un solo evento, sino a lo largo de varios de pequeña escala antecedidos por actividades de procesamiento y consumo de alimentos. Este patrón de comportamiento sugiere que las actividades de consumo eran requeridas para la conducción de la construcción, probablemente como un mecanismo de refuerzo de compromisos establecidos entre el anfitrión del acto de consumo y quienes realizarían la construcción. Este esc...
