Para otres, reiteró la persistente injusticia social en los Estados Unidos. Impulsades por estos eventos, 30 personas diversas se reunieron entre enero y mayo de 2021 para un seminario de un semestre de duración que exploraba la inequidad en la práctica arqueológica. Los debates del seminario destacaron la inequidad y las injusticias sociales que están profundamente arraigadas en la disciplina. Sin embargo, la inequidad en la arqueología a menudo se ignora o se trata de manera limitada como problemas discretos, aunque poco vinculados. Un enfoque amplio de la inequidad en la arqueología reveló que la injusticia es interseccional, con efectos compuestos. A través de los temas generales de individue, comunidad, teoría y práctica, nosotres (un subconjunto de les participantes del seminario) exploramos la inequidad y su papel en varias facetas de la arqueología, incluidas las relaciones norte-sur, publicación, distribución de recursos, diferencias de clase, accesibilidad, inclusión teorías, servicio a comunidades no arqueológicas, trabajo de campo, tutorías, y más. Nos enfocamos en la creación de una hoja de ruta para comprender la interseccionalidad de los problemas de inequidad y sugerir vías para la educación continua y la participación directa. Argumentamos que la construcción de comunidad-al proporcionar apoyo mutuo y construir alianzas-ofrece un camino para lograr una mayor equidad en nuestra disciplina.

For others, it reiterated the persistent social injustice in the United States. Compelled by these events, 30 diverse individuals came together from January to May 2021 for a semester-long seminar exploring inequity in archaeological practice. The seminar's discussions spotlighted the inequity and social injustices that are deeply embedded within the discipline. However, inequity in archaeology is often ignored or treated narrowly as discrete, if loosely bound, problems. A broad approach to inequity in archaeology revealed injustice to be intersectional, with compounding effects. Through the overarching themes of individual, community, theory, and practice, we (a subset of the seminar's participants) explore inequity and its role in various facets of archaeology, including North-South relations, publication, resource distribution, class differences, accessibility, inclusive theories, service to nonarchaeological communities, fieldwork, mentorship, and more. We focus on creating a roadmap for understanding the intersectionality of issues of inequity and suggesting avenues for continued education and direct engagement. We argue that community-building-by providing mutual support and building alliances-provides a pathway for realizing greater equity in our discipline.

Although he was influential while alive, his almost complete failure to publish the results of his work has caused him to fade into obscurity. The interventions that he made a many important sites have been largely forgotten. However, collections that he amassed have been preserved at Yale University, at the American Museum of Natural History, and in Peru. This paper presents a short biography of Vescelius and evaluates his work.

Huanuco Pampa, a large provincial Inca installation, was largely abandoned during the Spanish conquest. Warfare, quarrying, treasure hunting, extirpation of idolatry, ranching and farming, and archaeological excavation and reconstruction destroyed much of its physical integrity. Today Huanuco Pampa once again functions as a ceremonial center.

Sie betrachtet insbesondere die Zeit zwischen dem bevorstehenden Verlassen durch die Inka in den 1530er Jahren und der Gegenwart. Über den gesamten Zeitraum hinweg diente Huánuco Pampa immer wieder den unterschiedlichsten Zwecken. Es war Kriegsschauplatz, Steinbruch, Bauernhof, Naturdenkmal, Standort einer christlichen Kapelle, Friedhof für ungetaufte Kinder, ein Rastplatz für Maultiertreiber, Endstation eines Zweigs des kolonialen Postsystems, Fußballplatz, Rast- und Zeltplatz, Abstellplatz für Autos und schließlich Festplatz. Zusätzlich verlief die Nationalstraße, eine der zentralen Verkehrsachsen des peruanischen Hochlandes, mitten durch die archäologische Stätte. Huánuco Pampa wurde darüber hinaus durch archäologische Ausgrabungen und Rekonstruktionen verändert und auch die „Kampagnen zur Ausrottung der Götzendienste“ beschädigten vermutlich die Ruinen aus der Inka-Zeit. Selten konnte die „Taphonomie“ einer andinen archäologischen Fundstätte derart detailliert rekonstruiert werden. Die Autorin vertritt die Auffassung, dass Archäologen bei ihren Interpretationen zur Funktion und Bedeutung Huánuco Pampas die Veränderungen, die es im Laufe der Jahrhunderte durchlaufen musste, mit berücksichtigen müssen und die Stätte nicht als unberührtes Baudenkmal betrachten können.

El y su equipo emprendieron exploraciones arqueologicas en este lugar y su region, efectuaron una extensa excavacion en area en la parte monumental del mismo Huanuco Pampa, llevaron a cabo una importante reconstruccion arquitectonica del sitio, hicieron cateos en otros mas pequenos, efectuaron estudios etnograficos y trabajo de archivo, y volvieron a publicar fuentes coloniales importantes, relevantes para la region de Huanuco. En el transcurso de estos trabajos documentaron un campo de cimientos de piedra alineados en la margen occidental de Huanuco Pampa, en una zona del lugar denominada Muyuwaynin segun las notas de campo de Murra. Sugiero que estos son los restos de un grupo de depositos no incluido por Craig Morris en su tesis, Storage in Tawantinsuyu, o en las publicaciones derivadas de la misma. Si mi interpretacion es correcta, estos depositos semejan los que fueran encontrados en el valle de Cochabamba en Bolivia, posteriormente estudiados por Morris. Alli unos cimientos circulares de grandes piedras encierran pisos de grava y sirvieron como base para muros de barro y techos de paja. En lo que venia a ser una suerte de arqueologia experimental, el equipo de Murra reconstruyo uno de los depositos semicilindricos y de paredes de piedra en el "Cerro de las Collcas".

Con Donald Collier llevo a cabo exploraciones en el Ecuador entre 1941 y 1942. Durante su segunda intervención (1965) Murra dirigió excavaciones y restauración de Huanuco Pampa. Reconstruyo los muros del Ushnu, las kallankas, los portales y una collca. Demolió edificios en la plaza del Ushnu, los cuales considero eran los restos del asentamiento espanol. El poco conocido trabajo arqueológico de Murra en Huanuco esta documentado en mas de 232 rollos de película y aproximadamente dos pies lineales de notas de campo.

However, documentary evidence indicates that many puquios were constructed and managed by Spaniards. In Iberia such systems were built by Islamic engineers and were extended by Christians after the Moors were expelled in 1492. The Spaniards brought this technology to Mexico and the Andes, beginning in the mid-sixteenth century. They employed it in agriculture, in urban water systems, and to drain mines. This paper presents new evidence on the 21 Andean areas where puquios were constructed and controlled by the Spaniards and evaluates arguments pertaining to the origin of the Nazca puquios.

They are found throughout the Islamic and Hispanic worlds. In Spain, this technology is believed to have been introduced by the Arab and Berber Conquerors of Iberia, although a Roman origin is possible. In Mexico, the question of origin remained open until historical studies and excavation established that filtration galleries were an innovation of the Spanish settlers and first build in the sixteenth century. In Chile filtration galleries are also believed to be a European introduction. However, in Peru scholars unaware of the extent of identical works in Spain, the Canary Islands, Mexico, Chile, and elsewhere in Peru postulated that the puquios of the Nazca Valley represent a unique innovation of the precolombian Nasca culture. Both scientific evidence and national ideology have played roles int he cultural assignment of filtration galleries.

Murra remains fundamental to an understanding of Andean human ecology and Inca economics. Nevertheless, some of his most important articles have never been published in English. At the request of Heather Lechtman, Murra translated “Las etno-categories de un khipu estatal”. In this work, Murra reconstructed a quipu prepared and maintained by the lords of Xauxa (Jauja) in the Peruvian central Andes during the early Colonial Period and explored what it may have recorded in terms of Andean thought. We publish Murra’s translation for the first time.
Andean Past Special Publication 13 contains a preface and notes by Monica Barnes, an account by Heather Lechtman, previously published in Chungara Revista de Antropología Chilena, of how she made use of Murra’s article in her MIT classes, and the Spanish language version of this article, first published in 1974.

Daggett continues his discussion of the influence of politics upon the work of Peru’s first professional archaeologist, Julio C. Tello. He began his analysis of this topic in his previous Andean Past monograph entitled Julio C. Tello, Politics, and Peruvian Archaeology: 1930–1936. The focus of this second work is an in-depth discussion of the nature and extent of Tello’s connection with the Institute of Andean Research, from its creation in 1936. In addition to numerous articles published in the Peruvian press, Daggett makes extensive use of correspondence housed in archives both in Peru and in the United States.

It shows how he came to be the consummate scholar he was and how his life experiences and education shaped his persona and ultimately forged The Complete Americanist from Scotland that he became. His hunger for knowledge and understanding of the Americas, past and present, led McEwan to explore and conduct research in diverse Latin American localities, from the frigid landscape of Tierra del Fuego, to the humid tropical rainforests of Colombia, from the islands on the Pacific coast of Ecuador, to the mountains of the Peruvian Andes, and beyond in Central America, Mesoamerica, and the Caribbean. As curator and head of the Americas section in the Department of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas of the British Museum (1993–2012), he skillfully introduced a broad international public to the richness and diversity of ancient Latin American civilizations through his spectacular and well-researched exhibitions As director of Pre-Columbian Studies at Dumbarton Oaks (2012–2019), he developed a research project entitled Art from Central America and Colombia (2014–2017), consisting of intense international workshops to contextualize, problematize, and shed new light on the Robert W. Bliss collections. This begat (in 2018) another ambitious project titled Waves of Influence–Revisiting Costal Connections between Northwest South America and Mesoamerica. McEwan was driven by a deep need to share his knowledge of Pre-Columbian America with everyone, from indigenous groups and the general public, to research fellows, students, and academic specialists. His many publications have left their mark and are enumerated in the bibliography incorporated into this monograph. This biography captures not just Colin McEwan as the central subject, but also a generation of diverse actors, encapsulating an era in the history of anthropology and archaeology.

Andean Past Monograph 3, 2020
Maritime resources played a significant economic role in the prehistoric coastal communities of C... more Maritime resources played a significant economic role in the prehistoric coastal communities of Central and Northern Peru, and, prior to the current study, it was reasonable to assume they were equally important on the South Coast. In the 1980s, researchers postulated that the Nasca culture of the Early Intermediate Period was a state-level society based on inland agriculture, heavily augmented by aquatic foodstuffs gathered and processed at coastal settlements. Carmichael calls this the Nasca Maritime Hypothesis. It envisioned permanent, ocean front towns providing massive amounts of marine resources to inland centers, in exchange for agricultural produce. The research reported here was designed to test this hypothesis by means of a systematic ground survey covering a fifteen kilometer wide strip back from the shores, stretching from the north end of the Bahía de la Independencia to the southern boundary of the Bahía San Nicolás, a two hundred kilometer straight-line distance more than doubled by the winding coastline, and covering all of the coastlands opposite the inland valleys of Ica and Nazca. In the process, sites from all time periods were recorded, and all ecological zones within the study area were sampled, providing the first comprehensive overview of human exploitation in this region through time.
Also included is a report by Alana Cordy-Collins on her visit to the site of Carhua where Chavín style painted textiles were reportedly found.

Farfán was excavated by Carol J. Mackey from 1999 until 2004. Bioarchaeologist Andrew J. Nelson analyzed the human remains recovered. An important provincial center, Farfán was occupied successively by the Lambayeque, Chimu, and Inca cultures. This monograph postulates that female Inca burials at Farfán were those of aqlla, the “chosen women”, virgins who played important roles variously as weavers of fine cloth and brewers of chicha, as high status brides of important men, as religious officiants, and as the victims of human sacrifices. Farfán is one of only three sites where aqlla burials have been scientifically excavated. Tomb architecture is revealed and grave goods are illustrated and analyzed. Included is a complete inventory of ceramics recovered and analyses of textiles, camelid bones, and isotopic studies.

We examined four Nazca puquios in July 1997, to test the plausibility of this assertion and to determine whether the November 1996 earthquake had visibly affected the systems. We found extensive damage to puquios within the city. We also observed that at least one system had suffered heavy damage had been repaired previously in the mid-20th century. We documented previously unmapped portions of two major puquios. Finally we discovered that the a reconstruction of the Cantalloc puquio carried out in 1987 was collapsing. We believe that the visible evidence from Nazca in 1997 argues strongly against the supposition that these systems can survive essentially intact for over one and one half millennia.

Valdivieso y Torrejon prepared a printed legal brief on behalf of his client don Lorenzo Joseph de Aparicio the owner of the Chancaillo Hacenda in Peru's Chancay Valley. Don Lorenzo Joseph had brought suit in Peru's water court against his neighbor, don Jacino de Rojas, the owner of the Jequan Hacienda, also in the Chancay Valley. The water from two puquios or filtration galleries was in dispute. Who would get it depended on an important legal point. If the puquios had been built by Indians before the arrival of the Spaniards in Peru, then the landowners of the Chancay Valley were required to to share their water. If, however, a landowner had built the puquios after the conquest, he had exclusive rights. This paper examines the legal arguments advanced by Valdivieso y Torrejon and his client.

It is arid, extensively terraced, and watered for part of most years by its seasonally dry river. Viticulture is supported by ground water via medieval filtration galleries, qanat systems nearly identical to the puquios of Lima, Nazca, Azapa, Pica, and Matilla. The valley's water table is replenished mainly from precipitation falling above the 1000 meter contour of the Sierra Nevada. The Andarax river system drains into the Mediterranean at Almeria, an ancient port from which travelers embarked for the New World during Spanish colonial times. The physical and human geography of the Andarax Valley will be compared with those of the Nazca Valley of Peru's South Coast. Similarities between Andarax and Nazca have important implications for the Spanish settlement of the Andes.

Evidence is two AMS dates on component stones. Basic principles of stratigraphy are ignored. In accepting prehispanic dates we must disregard identical medieval works in Spain's Andarax Valley. Although hispanic engineers built similar water systems in Spain, the Canary and Balearic Islands, Mexico, and the Andes, we are asked to believe that they did not build, or recognize, those of Nazca. We suggest the puquios may include reused dressed masonry, and propose lines of research to resolve the dating question.

Los acueductos romanos se componían de tres partes: túneles y pozos como los que se observan en los qanats persas, estructuras menores que transportan el agua casi a nivel del suelo, y tramos de grandes arcos. Algunos de los acueductos construidos por los romanos en la Península Ibérica continuaron en servicio hasta fines del siglo XVI o comienzos del XVII, por lo menos. Uno de ellos era el acueducto de Carmona en Sevilla. Los conquistadores españoles introdujeron la tecnología romana de los acueductos en México y la región andina, si bien a menudo utilizando los diversos elementos por separado, sin combinarlos en sistemas unificados. Los acueductos de arcos que se encuentran en México y las galerías filtrantes de México, Perú y Chile son ejemplos de una antigua tecnología del Viejo Mundo que fue introducida en el hemisferio occidental durante la Era del Descubrimiento.

Murra encouraged students to see Andean societies in terms of their own internal logic and revealed that in his own view anthropology was a kind of militarism.
