Abstract The purpose of this study is to test research questions about the development of violence on the Peruvian central coast during the pre-Hispanic and Early Colonial times. This is the first study to provide a diachronic analysis of violence on the central coast. One null hypothesis was tested and falsified: that there are no differences in the prevalence and pattern of trauma over time on the central coast of Peru. Two complementary questions were also addressed: 1) Is there a relation between sociopolitical changes, natural catastrophes, competition for resources and violence? and 2) How did violence affect specific segments of the population (males, females, subadults, and elite and non-elite persons)? More than 700 individuals from 14 different samples were analyzed, following classic bioarchaeological and forensic methods, and complemented with other variables such as cohort, most probable cause (malintent, accidental, occupational or unknown), lethality, minimum number of events, and social status. This research showed three factors that triggered violent episodes in the area: 1) the emergence of social inequalities/a warrior elite; 2) socio-political crises that were produced after the fall of a previous social order; and 3) the need to fight for resources, either during severe droughts or to control the resources of the middle valley region. Males (adults and adolescents), especially those dedicated to military activities or those from the lower status were more exposed to violence than the rest of the population. However, in times when violence rose, females were equally affected. The comparison of the findings from the central coast with other Andean regions showed that not all societies reacted in the same way when faced with similar socio-political /environmental challenges. The main contributions of this study are its long temporal perspective, and its emphasis on the importance of social complexity. These perspectives will enrich the anthropological debate around violence, providing a better understanding of the factors that can affect how violence can unfold in different situations and within different cultures. Keywords Violence, Peruvian central coast, Pre-Hispanic Andes, Early Colonial period, trauma, bioarchaeology, bio-cultural interactions i Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship program for sponsoring this research. I am eternally grateful to Andrew Nelson for all these years of constant support, advice, editing, and patience. Thank you for not throwing in the towel even when the stork visited me a third time (I bet you will not have another student like me any time soon!). I would like to thank my PhD Committee, Jean-François Millaire, El Molto, Alexis Dolphin, Marla Toyne, and Bertha García for their comments and suggestions. Special thanks also go to the Department of Anthropology for their amazing support. I also want to acknowledge all the institutions, including the Ministerio de Cultura del Perú, Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú (MNAAHP), Museo de Sitio de Ancón, and the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, for giving me access to their collections and/or facilities. I am especially grateful to my second family, the Peruvian Forensic Anthropology Team (EPAF), for granting me “refugee status” by giving a place to write this dissertation. I am deeply appreciative to all the persons who entrusted me with the analyses of the skeletal collections and provided me with the contextual information or their unpublished data: Krzysztof Makowski (Lomas de Lurín Archaeological Project), Jonathan Palacios, Elizabeth Enriquez, María (Tita) Kolp-Godoy, and Martha Palma (La Capitana Archaeological Project), Lucía Balbuena (Camisea Archaeological Project), Luis Felipe Villacorta and Martín Del Carpio (PERM-CTRA Archaeological Project), Martín Mac Kay, Carlos Rengifo, Gabriel Prieto, and Ana Cecilia Mauricio (Huaca 20 Archaeological Project), Víctor Falcón and Renzo Ventura (Copacabana Archaeological Project), Guillermo Cock, Mellisa Lund, Melissa Murphy, and Catherine Gaither (Puruchuco-Huaquerones Archaeological Project), Jalh Dulanto (Karwa Archaeological Project), Patricia Mayta (MNAAHP), Lucía Watson (Museo de Sitio de Ancón), Luisa Díaz (Armatambo-22 de Octubre Archaeological Project), Daniel Guerrero(†), Carlos Morales, and Moira Novoa (Armatambo-Qhapaq Ñan Archaeological Project), Micaela Álvarez (Catalina Huanca Archaeological Project), Juan ii Mogrovejo and Rafael Segura (Cajamarquilla Archaeological Project) and Walter Tosso (Las Shicras Archaeological Project). I am especially thankful for the help of Gonzalo Irureta, Lisseth Rojas, Vanessa Salomón, Kathya Valladares, and Fredy Zamora in the analysis of the samples from Armatambo, Cerro Culebra, and Tablada de Lurín. Thanks also go to Maureen Purcell for her aid in the analysis of the Ancón collection. I am indebted to Carito Tavera who helped me with the search of papers in diverse libraries and to Fiorella Rojas who produced some of the maps presented in the dissertation. I would like to thank Micheline Piskun for editing these acknowledgements (I am sure Evelyn will rock her Peruvian hats this winter!). I would also like to express my gratitude to Sergio Barraza, Sofia Chacaltana, Patricia Chirinos, and Rafael Vega-Centeno for their advice and for providing me with books and papers. Special thanks go out to my “super external advisors” Hugo Ikehara and Lucía Watson, who took the time to read the whole draft and sent me great feedback; and to José Pablo Baraybar and María Inés Barreto for their expert opinions on some cases of perimortem trauma. Thanks to all my friends and colleagues in Peru, Canada, and elsewhere whose kindness and messages of support gave me extra breath (and kept me sane!). It would have been virtually impossible for me to finish this dissertation without the constant support, love, and help of my family. Thank you so much Sergio for leaving everything behind to join me in this incredibly challenging journey (¡te adoro cielo!). Thank you Amparito and Arturito for all the days (and nights) you spent with my babies so that Sergio and I could have some rest. Thank you Kathy, Jenny, Mary and Rosita for taking good care of my babies during the hours I was writing this research. Thank you tía Tana for “baby- sitting” me in London last year. My mom wanted an entire paragraph dedicated to her, so here it goes: gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita, gracias mamita. Seriously, thank you mom, and thank you dad. Now that I have finished this dissertation, you can finally say that you have recovered your daughter. iii Finally, thank you Diego, Alonso, and Mateo. Your arrivals did not slow this research. You actually made it happen. iv Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ i Acknowledgments............................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................ v List of Tables .................................................................................................................... xii List of Figures ................................................................................................................... xv List of Appendices ........................................................................................................ xxxii Chapter 1 ............................................................................................................................. 1 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Violence in Peru .....................................................................................................

The approach emphasizes two cultural phenomena: how the indigenous peo­ ple related to the Conquistadors in forging a new society, as well as how im­ migration, particularly to Lima, has shaped contemporary Peru. This contribu­ tion also aims at providing a bibliographical resource to those who would like to conduct research on Peru.

Likewise, were evaluated the most important physicochemical characteristic parameters of the waters of the main lagoon of the area called "Genesis". For the study, it obtained 24 liters of water of the Genesis lagoon from three strategic points taken at the convenience, finding that it had an electrical conductivity at point 1 of 4315 uS/cm, for point 2 a value of 4340 uS/cm. At point 3, a value of 4320 uS/cm, all values exceeded what is established by the Environmental Quality Standard (ECA), which is 1000 uS/cm for the water of category 4 (Conservation of the aquatic ecosystem) subcategory E1 (Lakes and lagoons). As for another parameter, such as dissolved oxygen, in point 3, it resulted in the value of 6.55 mg/L, lower than ECA for water (12.22 mg/L).

Radon concentration was determined using the LR-115 type 2 track detector during 36 periods, of 14 days each, in twenty holes distributed in the fifteen districts of Lima City. Radon concentration in soil pores ranged from 0.1 to 64.3 kBq/m3 with an average value of 5.6 kBq/m3. The average radon concentration in soil gas was about two times lower in winter than in the other seasons. High radon values during October/November 2017 were related to the earthquakes perceived in Lima City in that period. The highest radon concentrations were found in areas of alluvial deposits whose parental material has been removed from the Quilmaná and Huarangal volcanics by the Chillón and Huaycoloro Rivers. Soil gas radon concentrations were even higher in areas closer to volcanic and less distant from rivers.

    Women's Voluntary Groups in Lima, Peru Comedores Populares

    Women’s Voluntary Groups in Lima, Peru Comedores Populares Naoko Kamioka Affiliation: World Learning Prepared for delivery at the 2001 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Washington DC, September 6-8, 2001 Contact Address: World Learning, 1015 15th Street, N.W., Suite 750, Washington DC 20005, USA Tel: 202-408-5420, ex. 143 Email: [email protected] I. Introduction Comedores Populares (Communal Kitchens) run by the women’s voluntary groups in the poverty-stricken areas in Peru is a unique example of mass women’s popular participation that cannot be found in any other countries. It originated at the time of the beginning of economic crisis in the late 70s in one of the poor districts in Lima with a group of women being organized to serve meals. Since then, its number has grown, counting about 5,000 in Lima Metropolitan area and about 13,000 throughout the country in 1994. In Lima alone, approximately 120,000 women volunteer their efforts to support these Comedores. The Comedores became very crucial for poor families to survive during the period of serious economic crisis in the 80s and the following structural adjustment in the early 90s. The Comedores eventually were converted from an alliance for survival to a massive social movement. Traditionally marginalized women began to take collective actions expressing their needs and publicly asking for changes. The local and national networks of Comedores have become important vehicles for women to challenge the existing social structure. This has contributed to projecting a new image of the poor and disadvantaged women who were historically kept voiceless due to gender, socio-economic status, and ethnicity.

In my view, we should highlight three very important aspects: Firstly, there has been a notable increase in the company’s sus- tainability initiatives. When ENDESA approved its Seven Commit- ments for Sustainable Development in 2007, it was a clear public declaration of certain business principles of conduct, which the com- pany had already followed for many years. The public nature of these commitments and their adoption by everyone who works for the com- pany, gave a new boost to our sustainability efforts, and will mean a significant increase in our initiatives in this field in the coming years. In this context, certain milestones reached in 2007, which are discussed in full detail in this report, are particularly illustrative.
