ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION John Powell Warner The Graduate School University of Kentucky 2010 INTERPRETING THE ARCHITECTONICS OF POWER AND MEMORY AT THE LATE FORMATIVE CENTER OF JATANCA, JEQUETEPEQUE VALLEY, PERU ____________________________________ ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION ____________________________________ A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky By John Powell Warner Lexington, Kentucky Co-Directors: Dr. Tom D. Dillehay, Professor of Anthropology and Dr. Chris Pool, Professor of Anthropology Lexington, Kentucky 2010 Copyright © John Powell Warner 2010 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION INTERPRETING THE ARCHITECTONICS OF POWER AND MEMORY AT THE LATE FORMATIVE CENTER OF JATANCA, JEQUETEPEQUE VALLEY, PERU This works examines the Late Formative Period site of Jatanca (Je-1023) located on the desert north coast of the Jequetepeque Valley, Peru. Je-1023 is a complex site made up of numerous free-standing compounds that are organized around several predictably located, replicated interior complexes that were important in determining the overall shape and interior organization of the site. While this work relies on a number of data sets traditionally used by archaeologists as a means of examining prehistoric cultures such as ceramics, ethnobotanical analysis, and the surrounding relic landscape, architectural analysis is the primary means by which Je-1023 is examined. This work elucidates a number of archaeological issues at a variety of scales of consideration. From the level of the compound up to the entire North Coast, sociopolitical organization, the interface between behavior and architectural design, interior access patterns and social ordering, labor organization, and the impact of social memory in architectural design are all considered by this work.

Warner Lexington, Kentucky Co-Directors: Dr. Tom D. Dillehay, Professor of Anthropology and Dr. Chris Pool, Professor of Anthropology Lexington, Kentucky 2010 Copyright © John P. Warner 2010 For Christy and Meghan ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the input of many people with whom I have had the pleasure of working with and knowing for over the last 15 or so years. Four people are especially deserving of my profuse thanks as they put in what must have seemed like as many hours as I did into the completion of my dissertation. First and foremost I must thank Dr. Tom Dillehay for being my advisor at the University of Kentucky, taking me into the field between 1997 and 1999, serving as the chair of my committee, guiding me through the process of writing a research design, and patiently coaching me through the write-up phase draft after draft. Clearly, this work could not have been completed without his tireless input, and for that he is thanked profusely. I must also thank my wife, Dr. Christina Warner, for working with me in Peru, encouraging me at every turn, and getting out of archaeology and going into medicine, which has enabled us to pay our bills while I took time off to write and continue to work in the field. As with Tom, this project could not have been completed without her help. Dr. Edward Swenson must also be singled out and thanked for his efforts in helping me through this long process. Eddie was kind enough to help get me started during my dissertation year by leading me through the permitting process at the Lima Instituto Nacional de Cultura office, providing me with essential advice and sound critique of my initial ideas, and most importantly making me laugh at the absurdity of the many extraordinary situations I found myself in during the course of my year-long stay in Peru. During write-up, Eddie was kind enough to provide cogent comments on my ideas and listen to me ramble endlessly about social memory. Finally, I have to recognize James Crandall for special thanks in helping me during the excavation phase of this project. James came to Peru based on only a short introduction and phone conversation, endured nearly four months of terrible food and inhumane living conditions, and never complained once. Subsequently, I have had the pleasure of working with James for four additional seasons in Peru and look forward to many more. Special thanks to all four of you. iii Prior to beginning fieldwork in Peru, I had the pleasure of receiving professional guidance from a number of people affiliated with The University of Central Florida, The University of Kentucky, and the University of Chicago. In addition to Tom, these people include Dr. Arlen Chase, Dr. Diane Chase, Dr. Chris Pool, Dr. Dick Jeffries, Dr. John Watkins, Dr. William Adams, Mrs., Nettie Adams, Dr. Alan Kolata, and Dr. Mary Lucas Powell. I thank all of you for your time over the years in a variety of capacities such as taking me into the field, serving on my committee, provided stimulating discussions and lectures in seminars, and reading my wretched term papers filled with half-baked ideas. During the time that I worked for Tom Dillehay and Alan Kolata in the Jequetepeque Valley, I came to know a number of people in a myriad of capacities from graduate students to the many locals who helped me with the logistics of life in Peru and patiently endured my clumsy attempts to improve my Spanish. In this capacity, I wish to thank Dr. Jose Iriarte, Dr. Greg Zaro, Bevin Ethridge, Mirtha Cruzado, Sandra Sanchez, Dr. Mario Pino, Dr. Ducio Bonavia, Dr. Luis Jaime Castillo-Butters, Jeff Stvan, Dr. Gregory Maggard, Dr. Kary Stacklebeck, Dr. Victor Vasquez, Manuel Mora sr., Manuel Mora jr., Nora Mora, Eduardo Castro, Mariela Castro, and Idalia Carrera. Thank you to all of you for time, patience, and support. During my dissertation year, I was fortunate enough to have several people come to Pacasmayo, Peru to work for me, or to visit and provide a much-needed diversion. In addition to Tom Dillehay, Edward Swenson and Christina Warner, this list includes Jorge Chiguala-Azabache, Colleen Donnelly, Dan O’Conner, Kay O’Conner, Elizabeth Briceño, Elsa Briceño, Chris Hellman, Cristin Rolf, Mike Morzenti, Dr. Matt Noble, and Dr. Beth Noble. Thanks especially to Dan who was kind enough to spend three-months

  • Bio Construction, Quincha, Thermal Performance
    International Journal of Construction Engineering and Management 2018, 7(2): 53-64 DOI: 10.5923/j.ijcem.20180702.01 Thermal Performance of “Quincha” Constructive Technology in a Mountainous Region Cuitiño Guadalupe1,*, Esteves Alfredo1, Barea Gustavo1, Marín Laura2, Bertini Renato3 1Environment, Habitat and Energy Institute Mendoza - CONICET, Av. Ruiz Leal s/n, Argentina 2Independent Architect, Mendoza, Argentina 3Green Village Tudunqueral Srl, Mendoza, Argentina Abstract Increasingly, families are choosing to build their homes using earth-based technologies. This is the case in Tudunqueral Ecovilla (eco village) located in Uspallata Valley, Mendoza, Argentina. In this Andes Mountain Area, the houses primarily have been built with “Quincha” (also known as “wattle and daub”). Specifically, this paper aims to evaluate the thermal performance of the eco village’s Multi-Purpose Centre (MPC) which is a “Quincha” construction. Indoor temperature and relative humidity measurements and all external variables of climate (temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation and wind speed and direction) has been registered for winter and summer seasons. Thermography to evaluate local thermal situations of walls, ceilings and floors has been used. An interesting feature is that MPC has a Trombe Wall as passive solar system for heating it. Implementing energy conservation strategies coupled with the use of “quincha” as constructive technology allow for excellent results in the face of the rigorous climate of the mountain environment. It has proven that although low outdoor temperatures of -6°C were recorded, at the same time indoor temperatures was near 10°C, that means a temperature difference (in-out) of around 16°C. As well, while outdoor thermal amplitude reached 26°C, with the optimization of the MPC the thermal range indoors was 6.25°C.

    1 UNDERGRADUATE SEMINAR ANT 3164-7927/ANG 5164-06DA LIMITED ENROLLMENT Spring 2015 By Instructor’s Permission Prof. Michael Moseley Thursday Periods 6-8 Turlington B352 (12:50 - 3:55 pm) [email protected] Turlington (TUR) Room 1208 Course website: http://lss.at.ufl.edu THE INCA AND THEIR ANCESTORS: ADAPTATIONS IN ANDEAN SOUTH AMERICA Drawing from ethnological, historical, and archaeological sources, this seminar explores human adjustments to extreme ecological conditions. 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.

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.

Verano* In 1995-6, excavations directed by Steve Bourget of the University of East Anglia recovered the skeletal remains of more than 60 adolescent and young adult males who were sacrificed around A.D. 500 at the Pyramid of the Moon in the Moche River Valley, northern coastal Peru. This paper presents data from an ongoing analysis of the skeletal remains, including information on the physical and demographic characteristics of the victims, evidence of healed and perimortem trauma, and taphonomic indicators. Of particular interest are numerous examples of injuries in the process of healing at the time of death, as well as evidence of mutilation, dismemberment, and defleshing of some of the victims. Observed patterns in antemortem and perimortem injuries are used to interpret the events that produced this deposit.

  • Quincha Architecture: the Development of an Antiseismic Structural System in Seventeenth Century Lima
    Proceedings of the First International Congress on Construction History, Madrid, 20th-24th January 2003, ed. S. Huerta, Madrid: I. Juan de Herrera, SEdHC, ETSAM, A. E. Benvenuto, COAM, F. Dragados, 2003. Quincha architecture: The development of an antiseismic structural system in seventeenth century Lima Humberto Rodríguez Camilloni The introduction of quincha construction in the City of Kings or Lima during the middle of the seventeenth century marked a decisive turning point in the devel- opment of Spanish co]onia] architecture along the Peruvian coast. Not only did this ingenious antiseismic structural system provide a definitive solution to the earthquake problem that had plagued several generations of builders since the founding of the vicerega] capital by Francisco Pizarro in 1535, but it also permitted the creation of monumenta] and lofty interior spaces which paraJleled and even rivaled European designs. Surprising]y, however, quincha construction has received only a general and inadequate treatment in the artistic literature of Spanish colonia] architecture; its fuJl impact stilI awaiting recognition in the history of construction. I In an effort to help fill this void, this paper investigates the earthquake-proof system of quincha and its formal implications, as a cornerstone in the history of South American colonial architecture. In the viceroyalty of Peru, possibly no greater chalIenge confronted the colonia] architects than that of designing buildings that could withstand the frequent earthquakes. Time and again European and viceregal architects had seen the failure of their efforts, incJuding the anachronistic use of Gothic ribbed vaulting in the Cathedral of Lima folJowing ] the earthquake of 609 because it was believed it Figure 1 2 wou]d provide a more resistant structura] system.
