    Provincial religious centers in the inka empire : propagators of official ideology or spaces for local resistance?
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) López-Hurtado, Enrique
    The incorporation of provincial religious centers into the Inka empire has been discussed basically from two different points of view. The first, proposed by Bauer and Stanish (2002), is based in their work on the Islands of the Sun and the Moon in Lake Titicaca. In this model, provincial religious centers were primarily propagators of state ideology, political platforms whose function was to legitimize Inka control and facilitate the administration of the region.

    Changes in the subsistence strategy of prehistoric intertidal gathering : the Pre-ceramic and Ceramic coastal hunter-gatherers of Reloncaví Sound, Chile
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Flores Fernandez, Carola
    The purpose of this paper is to review the entire stratigraphic sequence of shellfish fauna! remains from five shell middens located on the Reloncaví Sound and dated from 5576 to 1825 cal. B.P. (Figure 4.1). Changes in the abundance and diversity of fauna! assemblages through time suggest a transformation of the subsistence strategies and settlement patterns in this area. Among these transformations, the marked increase of species diversity in t he upper levels containing pottery suggests a shift to a subsistence strategy based on more intense fauna! exploitation. The optima! foraging model of diet breadth is used to understand this change. By applying this model to the archaeomalacological data, we interpret the temporal variation in the array of resources consumed as linked t o changes in land use, subsistence strategies and settlement patterns.

    Food, family, and empire : relating political and domestic change in the Jequetepeque hinterland
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Cutright, Robyn E.
    How do families experience conquest and state control? More particularly, how are daily meals shaped by state strategies? Paying archaeological attention to domestic culinary practices makes it possible to move beyond special politically and ritually charged feasting events to consider the everyday interplay of domestic practice, political power, and socio-economic processes. In this paper, I employ a culinary approach to explore the daily activities of families at Pedregal, a small village in the lower Jequetepeque Valley, as the valley was conquered by the expanding Chimú state in the 14th century A.O. While sorne aspects of household culinary practice remained relatively unchanged throughout Pedregal's occupation, other dimensions show clear shifts over time. Specifically, I focus on crop processing, meat consumption, and culinary equipment to highlight concrete links between domestic culinary practice and regional processes and evaluate dimensions of continuity and change in Pedregal foodways during Chimú conquest.

    Comparing the role of the export sector in Prehistoric economies : the importance of shell manufacture to the livelihood of coastal Ecuadorian populations
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Martin, Alexander J.
    To understand the evolution of prehistoric economies it is essential to look at the development of specialized production. By looking at which types of prehistoric societies ailowed individuals, or groups of individuals, to withdraw from the subsistence economy and perform a single task exclusively and which ones did not, we can increase our understanding of the processes that lead to the formation of the highly specialized economies typical of the modern era.

    Elite strategies and ritual settings in coastal Peru during the lst Millennium B.C.
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Chicoine, David
    In this article, I consider elite strategies in coastal Peru during the first millennium B.C., a period of significant sociopolitical transformations as visible in the appearance of new patterns of community organization, ritual architecture and material culture (Burger 1988:129-131; Kembel and Rick 2004:54).

    Approximating Lambayeque political configurations : a perspective from the site of San José de Moro, Jequetepeque valley
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Prieto Burmester, Gabriel
    The Lambayeque culture, also known as "Sicán," was an expansive, theocratic state that reached its height during its middle phase (A.D. 900-1100) (Shimada 1995). According to Shimada, it encompassed two spheres of action: first, it exercised political, religious, and economic control from what is now Sullana in the north to the Moche Valley in the south. The second sphere was economic and ideological, and reached north to the Isla de La Plata in Ecuador and south to the altiplano (Shimada 1995: 165- 167).

    Social organization, technology of production, and the function of utilitarian ceramics for feasting during the Middle and Late Formative Periods in the Central Andes
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Ikehara Tsukayama, Hugo César
    The objective of this paper is to presenta model to explain changes in ceramic assemblages at the end of the Formative period (according to Kaulicke's ( 1994) chronology). These changes began during the Middle Formative (1000-600 B.C.) and became more accentuated during the Late Formative (600- 400 B.C.), until ultimately generating completely different vessei assembiages in iater periods. The present analysis is based on materials from contexts related to the discard of feasting materials at the site of Cerro Blanco in Nepeña, which 1 describe below (Ikehara 2007; Ikehara and Shibata 2008).

    Regional patterns of fortification and single forts : evaluating the articulation of regional sociopolitical dynamics with localized phenomena
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Brown Vega, Margaret
    After more than five decades of research in a number of Peruvian coastal valleys there are abundant survey data available that can be brought to bear on anthropological problems of a regional scale. Given the tools available to us today, such as geographic infarmation systems and powerful computers far carrying out analyses in such spatial databases, studies of regions and even larger areas, are more feasible (Kantner 2008:43-44). Befare such analyses can be carried out, however, such data must be brought together in a manner that makes them amenable to analysis.

    Highland empires, lowland politics : the Central Peruvian Coast and its relation to Pan-Andean empires
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Marcone F, Giancarlo
    To what extent do our interpretations of the Andean past recognize geographical differences between the coast and the highlands? Does recognizing these differences lead us to alternate interpretations of political processes? In this article, I respond to these questions by analyzing the relationships between "highland empires" and local coastal societies. Is it possible to explain the differences between the distinct strategies that empires established with different local societies using: ( 1) models that explain this variation according to the level of local "political complexity" encountered by the empires or (2) models that explain this variation as a function of variations in geography and adaptation, and their effect on local economies? Using the Lurín Valley on the central Peruvian coast as an example, I discuss how these explanations are insufficient to explain the variations in local-imperial social relations . As an alternative, I suggest that these relations should be understood as a function of the political cycles of both societies.

    Evaluating the role of inter-societal interaction in the emergence of institutionalized hierarchy : an example from Southern Ecuador
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Taylor, Sarah R.
    Inter-societal interaction has been a popular topic in Andean archaeology from its inception. Long distance trade, vertical reciprocity, state expansion, core-periphery relations, and the spread of ideological constructs have been persistent topics in the region. The importance of inter-societal interaction in the modern history of the Andes leaves little wonder that archaeologists are interested in the role such interactions might have played in prehistory.
