Following its disappearance, Paracas culture did not emerge in the historical record until 1927, when three burial centers were scientifically excavated on the arid Paracas peninsula that gave the culture its name. The burials contained over 400 mummy bundles that preserved the only physical remnants of this culture and its unique art forms. When unwrapped, mummy bundles of elite males revealed multiple layers of finely woven and elaborately embroidered textiles and painted ceramics, along with gold objects, feathers, and other finely crafted artifacts. Such items indicate that the individuals were part of a stratified village society whose members participated in complex ceremonial activities. The art works feature figural imagery based, to a great extent, on the numerous species of sea, air, and land fauna of the south coastal area. In fact, avian imagery and costumes, generally understood to represent humans impersonating supernaturals, dominate in Paracas iconography. The intensity of this interest in birds, demonstrated by their prominence in the art forms, indicates that they held special meaning and value in Paracas society. In addition to art historical methodologies, this project investigates the emergence of avian imagery and costume in Paracas art by employing the approach of evolutionary aesthetics. It interprets these avian subjects and feathered accessories as reflections of evolved aesthetic inclinations, activated and amplified by the rich bird life in the Paracas region, local v ideology, and social needs of the elite members of this hierarchical society. Inspired by the ecology of the Paracas coastal realm, the emergence of the bird in Paracas art initiated a break from an earlier supernatural triad of serpent, bird, and jaguar forged in the first millennium in the Andean highlands. This avian intervention thus reveals a previously unrecognized artistic and ideological agency among Paracas people that demonstrates that they were much more autonomous and inventive than previously acknowledged in scholarship. My study of the small-scale, coastal Paracas society, frequently overlooked in favor of larger highland cultures such as the earlier Chavín and later Inca, also enriches our understanding of the artistic contributions of the many diverse cultures of the South American Andes and the Pre-Columbian Americas as a whole. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am very grateful to Professor Eloise Quiñones Keber for introducing me to the field of Pre-Columbian art. Her course Art of the Andes revealed part of the world previously unknown to me and ultimately changed my direction in graduate school. As a teacher and adviser, Dr. Quiñones Keber’s dedication to her students is truly exceptional, in particular her tenacity during the dissertation years. As the final student work, my dissertation learning curve was not always smooth, but she never gave up on me, despite my many attempts to run away from it all. I would also like to thank all the members of my committee, Dr. Judy Sund, Dr. Timothy Pugh, and Dr. Cameron McNeil, for their willingness to read my work and assist with revisions. All readers challenged yet strengthened the project. I also greatly benefitted from Dr. Pugh’s course on the Maya and Dr. McNeil’s course Archeology of Sex and Gender. Dr. Pugh revealed much of the complexity of Maya culture; Dr. McNeil greatly expanded the range of questions I’ve learned to ask about the past. Mr. Michel Besson also provided keen proof-reading, catching minutiae with eagle eyes. I also extend my thanks to curators Nancy Rosoff of the Brooklyn Museum of Art and Registrar Pilar Ríos of the Museo de Arte de Lima for facilitating access to their Paracas Collections in New York and Lima, respectively. Travel grants awarded by The CUNY Doctoral Student’s Research Council, The CUNY Center for Caribbean, Latin American, and Latino Studies, and the SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology Center for Excellence in Teaching made travel to Peru possible. vii Assistant Art History Program Officer Andrea Appel deserves much credit keeping The Graduate Center art history office running smoothly, with always a kind word for students. My thanks also go to the staff of The Mina Rees Library at The CUNY Graduate Center, The New York Public Library, and The Robert Goldwater Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for facilitating local research. Regards and admiration are extended to my colleagues in Pre-Columbian and Colonial studies at The Graduate Center, Lawrence Waldron, Renee McGarry, Nandi Cohen, Miguel Arisa, Jeremy George, Ellie Fitzpatrick Sifford, Lorena Tezanos, and Megan Leight, who provided stellar examples, comic relief, and encouragement throughout my years of graduate study. Numerous friends and colleagues have also shared helpful feedback on my project and the trials of the dissertation process: Pam Street, Anna Blume, Katie Hanson, Nicole Fennimore, Whitney Thompson, Monica Steinberg, Diana Fischman, Hyewon Yi, and Elsie Heung – thank you, all. I also thank my grandmother, EO, for financial assistance, and my family, Mom, Dad, David, Jessie, and Javier, for love and support along the long journey through graduate school. viii For my grandmother, Elizabeth Miller Reutlinger, a remarkable woman and superb textile artist For Xavier Atletl “Pinguino” Barajas, my baby bird For the people of the Andes, past, present, and future For the birds ix CONTENTS ABSTRACT………………………………………………………. .................................................... iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……….…………………………………....…….…. .............................. vi LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS…………...............……………………………….....….….……xi INTRODUCTION…………………………………………...............……. .............................. 1 The Dissertation Project and its Aims Proposed Contributions The Andean Ecological Triad: Desert, Mountains, Rainforest Historicizing Andean Culture The Role of Peruvian Archeologists The Paracas Realm: Ocean and Desert Discovery and Excavation of Paracas Mummy Bundles Burial Artifacts Paracas Textiles Previous Literature Methodology and Basis for Research Outline of the Dissertation CHAPTER 1 AN IMPROBABLE ECOSYSTEM…. .............................................. 50 Something Rich and Strange Humans and Birds The Paracas Ecosystem Fauna in The Paracas Environment Paracas: “A Kingdom of Birds and Waves” Ecology in Paracas Art: An Introduction CHAPTER 2 ANIMALS IN THE MIND………................................................…..85 Bird into Image: A Long Process Animals in the Mind I: Jungian Archetypes Animals in the Mind II: Structuralism Animals in the Mind III: Cultural Critic John Berger Animals in the Mind IV: Biophilia Animals in the Mind V: Evolutionary Psychology Animals in the Mind VI: Evolutionary Aesthetics CHAPTER 3 EARLY BIRDS………………………………………. .................... 112 The Art of Birds The Natural World as Metaphor Early Andeans: Coastal Journeys and Shared Landscapes Early Mummies: Chinchorros x The Earliest Birds: Huaca Prieta Chavín: Site and Architecture Chavín: Stones, Style, and Birds CHAPTER 4 PARACAS BIRDS. ............................................................................. 143 Making Meaning from Birds Uses of Ethnographic Analogy Waldron and Zoomorphic Iconography Birds in Narratives Birds From Chavín to Paracas Early Birds in Ceramic Vessels Early Birds in Textiles: Oculate Being The Double-Headed Bird Birds of Prey Condors Falcons Seabirds Inca Terns Cormorants Land Birds Nightjars Hummingbirds Supernatural Birds Bird Costumes CHAPTER 5 GENDERED FEATHERS. ................................................................... 195 The Spectacle of Paracas Male Attire The Bowerbird: Sexual Selection in Birds Contest and Display: Sexual Selection in Humans Feathers and Materiality Material Culture in Chiefdoms: Expressions of Power Paracas Featherwork Ocucaje Featherwork Nasca Featherwork Late Intermediate and Late Horizon Featherwork Aztec Feathers: Ornaments of Hypermasculinity

  • 1-1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study the Capital
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The capital, Lima, which accommodates a population of over 7 million, about 30% of the national total in the area of coastal dry land, has always grappled with the problem of primary water supply to meet domestic and industrial demand. The Government of Peru therefore made a request to the Government of Japan for technical assistance to study an integrated water resources development of the Cañete river basin by paying due consideration to the conveyance of water from the basin to the capital Lima. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Potable Water and Sewerage Service of Lima (SEDAPAL) agreed on the Scope of Work for the Study on the Integrated Water Resources Development in the Cañete River Basin in the Republic of Peru on November 22nd, 1996. The scope of work for the Study on the Integrated Water Resources Development in The Cañete River Basin in The Republic of Peru (the Study) has been agreed upon between the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Potable Water and Sewerage Service of Lima (SEDAPAL) in November 22nd, 1996, with objectives; (1) to formulate an integrated master plan for the development of water resource in the Cañete River Basin in the Republic of Peru up to the year 2020 (PHASE I), (2) to conduct a feasibility study of priority project(s) to be identified and agreed upon by the two sides based on the master plan up to year 2003 (PHASE II), and (3) to transfer technology to the counterpart personnel in the course of the Study.

  • The Geoglyphs of Har Karkom (Negev, Israel): Classification and Interpretation
    PAPERS XXIV Valcamonica Symposium 2011 THE GEOGLYPHS OF HAR KARKOM (NEGEV, ISRAEL): CLASSIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION Federico Mailland* Abstract - The geoglyphs of Har Karkom (Negev, Israel): classification and interpretation There is a debate on the possible interpretation of geoglyphs as a form of art, less durable than rock engravings, picture or sculpture. Also, there is a debate on how to date the geoglyphs, though some methods have been proposed. Har Karkom is a rocky mountain, a mesa in the middle of what today is a desert, a holy mountain which was worshipped in the prehis- tory. The flat conformation of the plateau and the fact that it was forbidden to the peoples during several millennia allowed the preservation of several geoglyphs on its flat ground. The geoglyphs of Har Karkom are drawings made on the surface by using pebbles or by cleaning certain areas of stones and other surface rough features. Some of the drawings are over 30 m long. The area of Har Karkom plateau and the southern Wadi Karkom was surveyed and zenithal pictures were taken by means of a balloon with a hanging digital camera. The aerial survey of Har Karkom plateau has reviewed the presence of about 25 geoglyph sites concentrated in a limited area of no more than 4 square km, which is considered to have been a sacred area at the time the geoglyphs were produced and defines one of the major world concentrations of this kind of art. The possible presence among the depictions of large mammals, such as elephant and rhino, already extinct in the area since late Pleistocene, may imply a Palaeolithic dating for some of the pebble drawings, which would make them the oldest pebble drawings known so far.

Embracing the towering Andean Mountains, the parched Atacama Desert, and the Amazon jungle fringes, the Inca Imperium was the largest empire of antiquity ever to arise south of the equator or in the Western Hemisphere. It synthesized unique adaptations to acute environmental conditions that had precedents in earlier societies and states of the Cordillera. Many of these adjustments continue to sustain the hemisphere’s largest Native American populations. Consequently, ethnographies and ethnohistories of indigenous people capture fascinating cultural institutions that shaped the archaeological past. The seminar will explore both the successes of Andean people and the failures of human development induced by natural disasters. CLASS STRUCTURE In addition to opening presentations, weekly classes will have student commentary and discussion of assigned readings. There will be oral assessments of how the readings articulate with seminar topics. Drawing upon the readings, each participant will bring to class a ~2 page short synopsis of questions and issues for discussion. The weekly briefs are important because they will guide the seminar’s considerations. They will be graded as will oral participation. Attendance is required. WEEKLY READINGS Seminar participants will be assigned weekly reading that form core discussion issues.
