POTS, PANS, AND POLITICS: FEASTING IN EARLY HORIZON NEPEÑA, PERU A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in The Department of Geography and Anthropology by Kenneth Edward Sutherland B.S. and B.A., Louisiana State University, 2015 August 2017 DEDICATION I wrote this thesis in memory of my great-grandparents, Sarah Inez Spence Brewer, Lillian Doucet Miller, and Augustine J. Miller, whom I was lucky enough to know during my youth. I also wrote this thesis in memory of my friends Heather Marie Guidry and Christopher Allan Trauth, who left this life too soon. I wrote this thesis in memory of my grandparents, James Edward Brewer, Matthew Roselius Sutherland, Bonnie Lynn Gaffney Sutherland, and Eloise Francis Miller Brewer, without whose support and encouragement I would not have returned to academic studies in the face of earlier adversity. Finally, I dedicate this thesis especially to the memory of Eloise Francis Miller Brewer, who passed away while I was writing, and to the future of Adrien Chicoine, who was born only a few short weeks later. These events serve as a reminder that our past brings us to this moment, and that our future is determined by the actions that we take. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research would not have been possible without the work and support of others. I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. David Chicoine, who set me on the path to this topic and whose knowledge and guidance brought me to this point. I would like to thank my committee members, Dr. Jill Brody and Dr. Kent Mathewson, for their assistance and suggestions on how to improve this thesis. I would further like to thank Dr. David Chicoine, Dr. Matthew Helmer, Dr. Hugo Ikehara, Michelle Miller, Jessica Ortiz, Steven Treloar, Jacob Warner, Ashley Whitten, and the many other people whose previous work this research was reliant upon. I would like to thank the Friends of the LSU Libraries for their generous funding of the Goodrich-Taylor Assistantship, without which my graduate studies would not have been possible. I would also like to thank my coworkers in Special Collections at Hill Memorial Library who enlightened me on potential research methods which I otherwise would not have known. I would like to acknowledge the faculty, staff, and students of the Department of Geography and Anthropology for their encouragement and entertainment. I would also like to acknowledge my cohort of classmates and professors in the Department of Physics and Astronomy for challenging me intellectually and rekindling my academic spirit. Finally, I would like to thank my friends and family for their advice and support in my academic endeavors and their love and friendship in my life as a whole. Special thanks go to my parents, Rosalind and Dean Sutherland, for providing a space that can still be called home long after I had a residence of my own and for their numerous contributions of good food and feasts. Special thanks also go to my wife, Kristina Sutherland, for encouraging my academic ambitions and for magically making food appear while I was writing this thesis. I would also like to thank everyone with whom I have shared a drink, a meal, or a feast. Cheers, and here’s to the next one. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii LIST OF TERMS .......................................................................................................................... vii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................. viii CHAPTER 1.

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS This seminar offers an updated synthesis of the development, achievements, and the material, organizational and ideological features of pre-Hispanic cultures of the Andean region of western South America. Together, they constituted one of the most remarkable series of civilizations of the pre-industrial world. Secondary objectives involve: appreciation of (a) the potential and limitations of the singular Andean environment and how human inhabitants creatively coped with them, (b) economic and political dynamism in the ancient Andes (namely, the coast of Peru, the Cuzco highlands, and the Titicaca Basin), (c) the short and long-term impacts of the Spanish conquest and how they relate to modern-day western South America, and (d) factors and conditions that have affected the nature, priorities, and accomplishments of scientific Andean archaeology. The temporal coverage of the course span some 14,000 years of pre-Hispanic cultural developments, from the earliest hunter-gatherers to the Spanish conquest. The primary spatial coverage of the course roughly coincides with the western half (coast and highlands) of the modern nation of Peru – with special coverage and focus on the north coast of Peru.

Assembling States: Community Formation And The meE rgence Of The Inca Empire Abstract This dissertation investigates the processes through which the Inca state emerged in the south-central Andes, ca. 1400 CE in Cusco, Peru, an area that was to become the political center of the largest indigenous empire in the Western hemisphere. Many approaches to this topic over the past several decades have framed state formation in a social evolutionary framework, a perspective that has come under increasing critique in recent years. I argue that theoretical attempts to overcome these problems have been ultimately confounded, and in order to resolve these contradictions, an ontological shift is needed. I adopt a relational perspective towards approaching the emergence of the Inca state – in particular, that of assemblage theory. Treating states and other complex social entities as assemblages means understanding them as open-ended and historically individuated phenomena, emerging from centuries or millennia of sociopolitical, cultural, and material engagements with the human and non-human world, and constituted over the longue durée.

Para responder a esta pregunta, se analiza el caso del Complejo Arqueol´ogico Ku´elap,el cual se ha beneficiado de la construcci´onde un sistema de telecabinas que ha hecho m´asaccesible y atractiva su visita desde su inauguraci´onen marzo del a~no2017. La hip´otesisque se plantea es que dicha inversi´onen infraestructura tur´ıstica ha tenido un efecto importante sobre la demanda tur´ıstica de Ku´elap.Para evaluar la validez de esta hip´otesis,se aplica un estudio de caso comparativo en el cual se utiliza un \control sint´etico" construido a partir de la informaci´onde los diferentes sitios arqueol´ogicos del Per´uentre los a~nos2008 y 2018. Este control sint´etico permite estimar cu´alhubiera sido la evoluci´onde las visitas a Ku´elapsi no se hubiera construido el sistema de telecabinas. Los resultados muestran que la inversi´onen infraestructura tur´ıstica en Ku´elapgener´oun aumento de aproximadamente 100 por ciento en el n´umero de visitas.

    ACADEMIA AUGE HISTORIA DEL PERú Y UNIVERSAL http://www.academiaauge.com CUESTIONARIO DESARROLLADO ACADEMIA AUGE HISTORIA DEL PERú Y UNIVERSAL INTRODUCCIÓN El hombre llegó a América después de un largo proceso migratorio que parte desde el África y culmina en nuestro continente. Para subsistir, el hombre recurrió a actividades elementales, tales como la recolección, pesca y cacería; evidenciándose de esta manera, la primera contradicción del hombre contra la naturaleza, que corresponde a la primera etapa de la historia de la humanidad. Así, “los primeros grupos de homínidos que llegaron a América vinieron, pues, soportando la dramática lucha entre el hombre y la bestia, entre lo nuevo y lo viejo” (Emilio Choy 1987). Los hombres migran de un lugar a otro buscando territorios donde asentarse para poder aprovechar los recursos y así lograr la satisfacción de sus necesidades. Las primeras huellas de poblamiento americano lo encontramos en los yacimientos arqueológicos de Clovis y Folson (Canada y EE.UU.), cuyas artefactos líticos datan de aproximadamente 60,000 años; Entre otras evidencias tenemos: • Dawson City: Canadá 40 000 a.C. • Lewisville: EE.UU 38,000 a.C. • Old Crow: Alaska 27,000 a.C. • Tlapacoya: México 24 000 a.C. • El Bosque: Nicaragua 22,000 a.C. • Paccaicasa: Perú 20,000 a.C. • Punín: Ecuador 12,000 a.C. • Viscachani: Bolivia 8,000 a.C.

Ventre Environmental Design and Planning (ABSTRACT) Chan Chan, the prehistoric capital of the Chimu culture (ca. A.D. 900 to 1450), is located in the Moche Valley close to the Pacific Ocean on the North Coast of Peru. Its sandy desert environment is dominated by the dry onshore turbulent ' and gusty winds from the south. The nucleus of this large durban community built of adobe is visually and spacially ' dominated by 10 monumental rectilinear high walled citadels that were thought to be the domain of the rulers. The form and function of these immense citadels has been an enigma for scholars since their discovery by the Spanish ca. 1535. Previous efforts to explain the citadels and the walls have emphasized the social, political, and economic needs of the culture. The use of the citadels to control the effects of the wind, sand, and dust in the valley had not been previously considered.

SUMMARY: Southern geoduck is the most long-lived bivalve species exploited in the South Atlantic and is harvested by divers in San Matías Gulf. Except preliminary data on growth and a gametogenic cycle study, there is no basic information that can be used to manage this resource in terms of population structure, harvesting, mortality and inter-population compari- sons of growth. Our aim was to analyze the spatial distribution from survey data, population structure, growth and mortality of several beds along a latitudinal gradient based on age determination from thin sections of valves. We also described the spatial allocation of the fleet’s fishing effort, and its sources of variability from data collected on board. Three geoduck beds were located and sampled along the coast: El Sótano, Punta Colorada and Puerto Lobos. Geoduck ages ranged between 2 and 86 years old. Growth patterns showed significant differences in the asymptotic size between El Sótano (109.4 mm) and Puerto Lobos (98.06 mm).
