Over the last decades, considerable effort has been directed towards the study of early complex societies of northern Peru, and in recent years archaeologists have expressed a strong interest in the art and archaeology of the Moche, Lambayeque and Chimu societies. Yet, comparatively little attention has been paid to the earlier cultural foundations of north coast civilization: the Gallinazo. In the recent years, however, the work of a number of north coast specialists brought about a large quantity of data on the Gallinazo occupation of the coast, but a coherent framework for studying this culture had yet to be defined. The present volume is the result of a round table, which gathered some thirty scholars from Europe and North and South America to discuss the Gallinazo phenomenon. In fourteen chapters, authors with different perspectives and backgrounds reconsider the nature of the Gallinazo culture and its position within north coast cultural history, while addressing wider issues about the development of complex societies in this area and within the Andean region in general. The contributions reveal a diversity of perspectives on north coast archaeology, something that is likely to stimulate methodological and theoretical debates among Andeanists, pre-Columbian specialists and New World archaeologists in general.

Renowned for their monumental architecture and rich visual culture, the Moche inhabited the north coast of Peru during the Early Intermediate Period (AD 100-800). Archaeological discoveries over the past century and the dissemination of Moche artifacts to museums around the world have given rise to a widespread and continually increasing fascination with this complex culture, which expressed its beliefs about the human and supernatural worlds through finely crafted ceramic and metal objects of striking realism and visual sophistication. In this standard-setting work, an international, multidisciplinary team of scholars who are at the forefront of Moche research present a state-of-the-art overview of Moche culture. The contributors address various issues of Moche society, religion, and material culture based on multiple lines of evidence and methodologies, including iconographic studies, archaeological investigations, and forensic analyses. Some of the articles present the results of long-term studies of major issues in Moche iconography, while others focus on more specifically defined topics such as site studies, the influence of El Niño/Southern Oscillation on Moche society, the nature of Moche warfare and sacrifice, and the role of Moche visual culture in decoding social and political frameworks.

The long-standing tradition of grave lot analysis and tomb excavation in Peru began over a century ago. By emphasizing funerary monuments and artistically appealing artifact collections, however, the patterned lifeways that characterize groups like the Gallinazo on the north coast of Peru have long been overlooked. Traditionally, the Gallinazo (or Virú Valley polity) have been credited only with a small set of hand-modeled pottery forms and high-quality negative-paint finewares which led to the Virú polity's designation as the Negative-Paint Culture or Cultura Negativa. Several competing views from different valleys have developed over the past several decades. From the characterization of the Gallinazo as the first multi-valley state in the Andes to a mere substratum of Mochica society to more recent view as a pan-north coast utilitarian tradition or non-cultural entity, these views are inadequate when applied to evidence from the Lambayeque region. The snapshot of quotidian life from the Zaña Valley that I present here challenges several longstanding assumptions and conceptions about the people who manufactured and used the broadly defined art style known as Gallinazo and adds a productive new line of evidence for resolving long-standing debates. The focus of this research is the Zaña Valley, Lambayeque region, north coast Peru. This area is home to the best-known funerary monuments and largest urban centers of the first millennium, which are the sites of Sipán and Pampa Grande. The Songoy-Cojal site sits on the north bank of the Zaña River nearby. Songoy-Cojal is linked to the once major site of Sipán-Collique which lies along a pre-Hispanic canal 18 kilometers to the northwest. 14 kilometers due north of Songoy-Cojal is the temporally overlapping northern, Moche V (Late Moche) capital at Pampa Grande which is accessible through several roads and pathways. The Huacas Songoy monument is strategically positioned on a prominent point that overlooks the entire Zaña Valley and intervalley corridors. Combined with other lines of irrigation, mineralogical and craft production evidence, it is suggested that Songoy-Cojal and people living there held some importance in the region during the first millennium of the Common Era. Although originally characterized as a site of Mochica cultural affiliation, however, Songoy-Cojal is strongly Gallinazo as well. This investigation tests the validity of the assumption that Gallinazo and Mochica coexistence is characterized by interrelated social asymmetries that functioned as social counterweights that fostered long-term interdependencies. Indications of such types of axes of differentiation is found in complex administrative systems known as the time of Spanish conquest and in asymmetrical moiety organization at Pampa Grande. In general, and based on multiple lines of evidence, it is possible to suggest that people living at Songoy-Cojal during the eighth century were more than simple commoners acting in isolation were. In fact, this investigation shows that users and manufacturers of pottery objects in the Gallinazo style were people who likely lived and worked alongside those who built and used the funerary monuments at Sipán and identified as the Mochica, and may have constituted an important part of the workforce performing labor-tax duties at Pampa Grande. Long-term social relations were maintained through complementary economic systems focusing on mining, irrigation and multicraft production industries, a phenomenon that I define as economical complementarity. Although originally considered to be an early civilization with dates ranging from 200 BCE to 350 or 400 CE, new radiocarbon dating of Cojal samples show that the residential and multi-craft producing sector of the site endured much later. The updated temporal and regional vision of quotidian life at a Gallinazo-Mochica community in the mid-Zaña Valley challenges traditional view of this group and opens new dialogues about the inner-working complexities of the Gallinazo. In stark contrast to the overly simplistic vision their decorative art style implies, particularly in relation to the Mochica, this group played an important complementary economic role in the Lambayeque region during the first millennium of the Common Era.

The third volume in the Andean Archaeology series, this book focuses on the marked cultural differences between the northern and southern regions of the Central Andes, and considers the conditions under which these differences evolved, grew pronounced, and diminished. This book continues the dynamic, current problem-oriented approach to the field of Andean Archaeology that began with Andean Archaeology I and Andean Archaeology II. Combines up-to-date research, diverse theoretical platforms, and far-reaching interpretations to draw provocative and thoughtful conclusions.

Traditions of sacrifice exist in almost every human culture and often embody a society’s most meaningful religious and symbolic acts. Ritual violence was particularly varied and enduring in the prehistoric South American Andes, where human lives, animals, and material objects were sacrificed in secular rites or as offerings to the divine. Spectacular discoveries of sacrificial sites containing the victims of violent rituals have drawn ever-increasing attention to ritual sacrifice within Andean archaeology. Responding to this interest, this volume provides the first regional overview of ritual killing on the pre-Hispanic north coast of Peru, where distinct forms and diverse trajectories of ritual violence developed during the final 1,800 years of prehistory. Presenting original research that blends empirical approaches, iconographic interpretations, and contextual analyses, the contributors address four linked themes—the historical development and regional variation of north coast sacrifice from the early first millennium AD to the European conquest; a continuum of ritual violence that spans people, animals, and objects; the broader ritual world of sacrifice, including rites both before and after violent offering; and the use of diverse scientific tools, archaeological information, and theoretical interpretations to study sacrifice. This research proposes a wide range of new questions that will shape the research agenda in the coming decades, while fostering a nuanced, scientific, and humanized approach to the archaeology of ritual violence that is applicable to archaeological contexts around the world.
