Resumen
Hasta hace poco, la transición entre el final de la época Paracas (380-260 a.C.) y la subsiguiente Nasca Inicial (260 a.C.-80 d.C.) de la costa sur del Perú, se ha estudiado principalmente a través de los restos funerarios y los análisis del patrón de asentamiento. Sin embargo, si intentamos entender los mecanismos socio-culturales y políticos que subyacen a estos cambios grandes, necesitamos un mejor conocimiento de los detalles de la vida cotidiana de aquella gente. Con información de recientes investigaciones, aquí pretendemos contribuir al entendimiento de la ocupación semipermanente de un sitio Ocucaje 9/10-Nasca 1, (Samaca 1004) en la Cuenca de Samaca, en la parte baja del valle de Ica. El sitio se encuentra sobre la pampa, en el borde de la cuenca, aproximadamente a 80 metros por encima de la planicie aluvial del actual río Ica y distante de cualquier fuente de agua. El sitio está asociado con una serie de geoglifos trapezoidales marcados en la superficie de esta pampa.
Until recently the transition between the Paracas (380 - 260 B.C.) and subsequent Initial Nasca (260 B.C. - A.D. 80) epochs on the south coast of Peru was understood primarily through mortuary remains,and settlement pattern analysis. If we are to understand properly the socio-cultural and political mechanisms that underlay this period of great change, however, we need a better understanding of the quotidian details of the lives of those people who made and experienced them. We seek here to contribute to that understanding by reporting recent investigations of a semi-permanent Ocucaje 9/10 – Nasca 1 occupation site in the Samaca Basin, lower Ica Valley (‘Samaca 1004’). The site lies on the pampa at the edge of the basin, approximately 80m above the current Río Ica floodplain and distant from any source of water. The site is associated with a series of trapezoid geoglyphs marked on the surface of this pampa. Using ceramic, lithic, faunal, botanical and mortuary evidence gathered from field-walking survey, we propose various hypotheses for what kind of site Samaca 1004 was, and why it was situated where it was.
