Resumen
En el valle de Chincha se han identificado, hasta hoy, numerosos sitios y asentamientos arqueológicos de filiación Paracas. Entre estos destacan grandes complejos arquitectónicos que conservan edificaciones con arquitectura de tipo monumental, así como también varios edificios menores de carácter público, notándose al mismo tiempo pocos sitios de vivienda. Uno de estos sitios con edificios menores corresponde al sitio arqueológico El Mono, el cual está ubicado en la margen izquierda del valle medio-alto de Chincha y cerca del actual poblado de El Carmen. En el lugar se encuentran varios montículos bajos de planta rectangular que en su interior esconden pequeños edificios hechos con muros de adobes y piedras. Este es uno de los primeros sitios de la época Paracas en donde se realizaron excavaciones científicas en los años 1985 y 1987. En dos de los montículos presentes en el sitio las excavaciones han puesto al descubierto pequeñas estructuras arquitectónicas conformadas por plataformas bajas y escalonadas pertenecientes a la época Paracas Tardío. En los rellenos constructivos se encontraron diversos materiales culturales, en especial fragmentos de cerámica del estilo Pinta según la secuencia propuesta para el valle de Chincha, la cual es comparable con la fase Ocucaje 8 (300 a.C.) del valle de Ica. En este artículo se presentan las evidencias registradas en 1987 durante las excavaciones en uno de los edificios (Edificio C1) del sitio El Mono, que en 1992 constituyó el tema de mi tesis para obtener la Maestría (Diploma de DEA) en «Historia del Arte y de la Arqueología Precolombina», Universidad de Paris I-Sorbona, Francia. En base a ellas, se discutirá la función que tuvieron estos pequeños edificios, resaltando sus implicancias en el desarrollo de la cultura Paracas Tardío en el valle de Chincha.
In the Chincha valley, numerous archeological sites and settlements of Paracas affiliation have been identified to date. These include large architectural complexes that preserve monumental architecture, several smaller buildings with public architecture, as well as very few housing sites. One of these sites with smaller buildings corresponds to the archaeological site El Mono, which is located on the left bank of the middle-high valley of Chincha, and near the present town of El Carmen. In this site there are several low mounds of rectangular shape that inside hide small buildings made with adobe and stones walls. This is one of the first sites of the Paracas period in which scientific excavations were carried out in 1985 and 1987. Recent excavations made in two of the mounds have exposed small architectural buildings made up of low and staggered platforms belonging to the Late Paracas period. In the construction fillings were found different cultural remains, especially sherds of the Pinta style following the sequence of the Chincha valley, which is comparable with the Ocucaje 8 phase (300 b.C.) of the Ica valley. This article presents the evidence recorded in 1987 during excavations in one of the buildings (Building C1) of El Mono site, which in 1992 was the subject of my thesis for obtaining the Master’s Degree (DEA diploma) in “History of the Art and the Pre-Columbian Archaeology”, University of Paris I - Sorbona, France. Based on them, the role of these small buildings will be discussed, highlighting their implications in the development of the Late Paracas culture in the Chincha valley.
