Research paper thumbnail of Human Sacrifice Victims at Chotuna-Chornancap: Multidimensional Reconstruction of Ritual Violence in the Late Pre-Hispanic Lambayeque Valley

It was founded during the Classic Lambayeque or Middle Sicán period, and according to oral tradition, Chotuna was the palace of the legendary Naymlap, the semi-mythical founder of the Classic Lambayeque culture. Later, it was co-opted by the Chimú Empire and they placed an impressive material and labor investment into the site. Until conquest, Chotuna-Chornancap was a major secondary center, and multiple lines of evidence indicate it was surrounded by a large and thriving local population of ethnically Muchik people -the descendants of the Moche. The site is now the focus of a long-term and multidisciplinary research program directed by Carlos Wester of the Brüning Museum. Recent discoveries of 57 human sacrifice victims in two sectors of the complex are opening new windows on ritual killing in the ancient Andes. Here, we integrate paleopathological information on traumatic injury, life history, archaeological contexts, and funerary data to address three questions: (1) how did human sacrifice change over time in the late pre-Hispanic era; (2) who were the victims, and;

En los Andes, la investigación sobre el contacto ha mantenido generalmente por detrás de América del Norte y Central. Sin embargo, las perspectivas iniciales han ido surgiendo de las obras de Doug Ubelaker, Gaither Cathy, Tiffiny Tung, y Klaus y colegas indican resultados similares a los de otras regiones de la dominación española directa: repetidamente aumentó postcontacto estrés sistémica biológica, los estilos de vida extenuante, y dietas menos nutritivas por los nativos. Como muchos de los estudios anteriores se basaban en datos de los sitios individuales o agregados en muestras "postcontacto," por lo general no tienen un buen entendimiento de los matices posibles y variaciones locales de la biología esqueletico en la época colonial de América del Sur. Por lo tanto, en esta presentación, se describen los hallazgos iniciales de la primera etapa de un reconstrucción local o dentro de un región de la salud humano postcontacto en el valle de Lambayeque, costa norte del Perú.

Haagen Klaus and I summarize the state of past and current scurvy research on human skeletal remains. Looking forwards, we propose three broad issues in the paleopathology of scurvy in which further work will be important for advancing the study of this disease. First, the manner in which we describe lesions and conduct differential diagnosis requires ongoing refinement. Second, knowledge from pathophysiology, bone biology, and clinical cases must be further engaged to enhance and deepen paleopathological understanding of scurvy. Third, studies of scurvy should strive to embrace regional biocultural and ecological perspectives while engaging larger theoretical frameworks. Through our summary, we emphasize Don Ortner's impact on the field and introduce 12 new studies that break new ground and hint at the potential of foregrounding scurvy in future ancient disease research.
