Barker Fariss a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Partial Fulfillment GALLINAZO PHASE MIGRATION IN THE MOCHE VALLEY, PERU Barker Fariss A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in the Department of Anthropology (Archaeology). Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Dr. Brian R. Billman Dr. Carole L. Crumley Dr. Scott L. H. Madry Dr. R. P. Stephen Davis Dr. Patricia A. McAnany © 2012 Barker Fariss ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BARKER FARISS: Gallinazo Phase Migration in the Moche Valley, Peru (Under the direction of Brian R. Billman) This dissertation project is focused on settlement patterns in the Moche Valley, on the North Coast of Peru, during the Gallinazo Phase of Early Intermediate Period (ca. 0-200 CE). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, generalized logistic models (GLM) and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) are used to define architecture and spatial organization unique to nonlocal settlement. This research addresses broad theoretical concepts in anthropology like ethnicity and power, and examines methodological issues of investigating prehistoric culture contact and interaction. The concept of an ethnotone is reintroduced to replace the core/periphery model in a pluralistic society where there is no central place. Nonlocal architecture at a sample of sites is specifically described and settlement patterns are differentiated. The results provide further evidence that nonlocal Gallinazo Phase settlements in the Moche Valley are ethnic-highland. Contrary to conflict- centered theories about culture contact in the Andes, interaction between migrants and locals on the North Coast at this time was probably less violent than previously thought. Among other variables, this research establishes that building on hillsides was common, and communities tended to aggregate into clusters around elite compounds; yet, this pattern is not overtly defensive. Technological advancement in the form of expanding irrigation regimes lessened competition for resources, resulting in social complementarity rather than conflict. iii For Lou Nell Falls iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are so many people I must recognize as instrumental in completion of my project. Without a doubt, I would not be here if it were not for the encouragement of Brian Billman, my dissertation advisor, colleague and friend. I would also like to thank everyone in my dissertation committee individually. Carole Crumley has been a mentor to me since my years as an undergraduate student at UNC in the 1990’s. I always sought her approval and she helped me achieve a confidence in my ability that I will carry forward into my professional career. Scott Madry’s assistance with GIS has been invaluable; and, his behind-the-scenes supervision of my project helped me find a path to completion. Steve Davis and Patricia McAnany provided me with some of the most thorough and insightful comments regarding the presentation of my research. My dissertation in its current form is in large part a result of the time and effort they put into thoughtfully reading multiple drafts of the manuscript. Thank you all very much. There are no words to express my appreciation for the enduring encouragement and loving support I have received throughout this process from my wife of 15 years, Brandie. We met in high school and began building a life together more than two decades ago. We travelled the world and landed in Chapel Hill; now, we have returned to Oklahoma with our two beautiful boys. Things weren’t always easy for us, but we persevered. To quote someone important to us, “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” Thanks for being my travel companion. v While I know you are too young to realize it now, Keller and Crosby, your presence in my life has inspired me to fight through disappointment and misfortune, and to continue working on this project even when it seemed hopelessly out of reach. To my mom, Dolores, you very much continue to be an inspiration to me; and your words of support have been essential every step of the way. To her husband Cecil, thanks for championing my project all these years as a priority, reminding me of its significance in the face of sobering life events. For over a decade, Brandie’s parents Bob and Lisa Sullivan and her sister Jamie have maintained unwavering support; thank you. To my big sister Kristie, thanks for always being there. Dad, thanks for imparting nuggets of practical wisdom that continue to serve me well; such as, “excuses only sound good to those who make them” (so, let that be fair warning to my nascent graduate students). To my entire family, thank you so much for all you have done; and, thank you in advance for your patience, love and support in the years to come. I have made so many friends and colleagues over the last decade; I should have started a master list. Many thanks to all of the people I have lived among and worked closely with in Peru since 2001. Gracias a Jesus Breceño, mis amigos de Ciudad de Dios y todos los trabajadores. Gracias a Jose y todo mi familia de Huanchaco. To my coworkers Jen, Daniel, Julio, Evan and Sara, among so many others over eight years, I will always appreciate your friendship. To those who paved the way, Chris, Jon, Celeste, Greg and Amber, thanks for your guidance. And Erik, no matter how much time passes, I know that we will always be able to reconnect and have lively discussion over a beer (or two, or three). Thanks comrade. I would also like to thank the Anthropology Department faculty; in particular, Charles Price for his friendship and advice. And lastly, to my life-long friends, Grant, Paul, Ross and Steve, who knew me before graduate school, thanks to you all for sticking around. Cheers. vi PREFACE As I write this preface, I have just returned from monitoring a seismographic survey in Oklahoma. I work for the Osage Nation now, and frequently find myself thinking about the role of archaeologists in today’s society. As the wells are drilled and the pipelines are buried, everyone seems concerned about energy independence or environmental degradation; rarely does one hear elected officials or the public discuss protection of cultural resources. But, although few are talking about it, the good thing about the United States is that we have laws to protect cultural resources. What’s more, the great thing about having laws in this country is that they are usually enforced. I find myself reading dozens of Section 106 notifications every day, monitoring construction in culturally sensitive areas and performing other duties. Our office is also involved in community outreach and public education. Preserving cultural resources must go beyond enforcing the laws; it begins and ends with education. We must understand the past, and that is often the strength of research archaeology. We must protect the past, and that is the directive of cultural resource management (CRM). An important place where research archaeology and CRM meet is education. It is imperative that archaeologists work together to understand the past, preserve prehistoric material culture and educate the public. I have noticed in the last decade an increase in dialog about public education between research archaeologists and CRM professionals at conferences and in trade journals. We are moving in the right direction. vii I was trained as an Andean archaeologist. This dissertation deals with prehistory on the North Coast of ancient Peru. While Peru has laws regarding the protection of cultural resources, they are almost never enforced. Around the world, in places like the Moche Valley, Peru, it has become the job of research archaeologists (often foreign) to manage the preservation of cultural resources. By saying this, I am not passing judgment; often these countries have far more important social issues to manage with limited financial resources. It seems ironic that many of the most significant prehistoric sites are situated in the poorest regions of the world. It is important for research archaeologists working in these regions to bring with their field school students, grant funding, and professional agendas a plan for preserving the cultural resources in unprotected areas. For example, in 2007 I assisted Dr. Brian Billman with launching MOCHE, Inc. (Mobilizing Opportunity through Cultural Heritage Empowerment); a 501c3 nonprofit organization that partners with descendent communities in Peru to develop a stronger sense of connection with the past and provide resources for mutually agreed upon community development activities in return for help protecting endangered prehistoric sites. In addition to focusing my efforts on cultural resources of North America, I will continue to contribute to the protection of Peru’s threatened cultural heritage and ecological resources. My future research will facilitate the goals of MOCHE by accurately characterizing the region’s archaeological landscape and by highlighting the potential areas for community involvement. I will continue working with MOCHE in every way possible to provide opportunities for improved heritage protection and ecological preservation in the context of sustainable rural development. viii I first traveled to Peru in 1997 to attend a three-month Spanish immersion course in Cuzco with my wife Brandie, a new graduate student in the Ecology Curriculum at UNC- Chapel Hill. We returned to Peru every summer over the next three years for her pre- dissertation fieldwork, until we moved to Peru in 2001 to conduct her field research. Brandie’s dissertation focused on community and conservation dynamics in the Huascaran Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, and for nearly two years we lived in a highland village called Pashpa located just over 10,000 feet above sea level [Figure F-1]. I helped conduct social surveys and followed herders around for weeks in participant observation.

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.

  • Bats and Their Symbolic Meaning in Moche Iconography
    arts Article Inverted Worlds, Nocturnal States and Flying Mammals: Bats and Their Symbolic Meaning in Moche Iconography Aleksa K. Alaica Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto, 19 Ursula Franklin Street, Toronto, ON M5S 2S2, Canada; [email protected] Received: 1 August 2020; Accepted: 10 October 2020; Published: 21 October 2020 Abstract: Bats are depicted in various types of media in Central and South America. The Moche of northern Peru portrayed bats in many figurative ceramic vessels in association with themes of sacrifice, elite status and agricultural fertility. Osseous remains of bats in Moche ceremonial and domestic contexts are rare yet their various representations in visual media highlight Moche fascination with their corporeal form, behaviour and symbolic meaning. By exploring bat imagery in Moche iconography, I argue that the bat formed an important part of Moche categorical schemes of the non-human world. The bat symbolized death and renewal not only for the human body but also for agriculture, society and the cosmos. I contrast folk taxonomies and symbolic classification to interpret the relational role of various species of chiropterans to argue that the nocturnal behaviour of the bat and its symbolic association with the moon and the darkness of the underworld was not a negative sphere to be feared or rejected. Instead, like the representative priestesses of the Late Moche period, bats formed part of a visual repertoire to depict the cycles of destruction and renewal that permitted the cosmological continuation of life within North Coast Moche society. Keywords: bats; non-human animals; Moche; moon imagery; priestess; sacrifice; agriculture; fertility 1.

  • Reconsidering a Moche Site in Northern Peru
    Tearing Down Old Walls in the New World: Reconsidering a Moche Site in Northern Peru Megan Proffitt The country of Peru is an interesting area, bordered by mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. This unique environment was home to numerous pre-Columbian cultures, several of which are well- known for their creativity and technological advancements. These cul- tures include such groups as the Chavin, Nasca, Inca, and Moche. The last of these, the Moche, flourished from about 0-800 AD and more or less dominated Peru’s northern coast. During the 2001 summer archaeological field season, I was granted the opportunity to travel to Peru and participate in the excavation of the Huaca de Huancaco, a Moche palace. In recent years, as Dr. Steve Bourget and his colleagues have conducted extensive research and fieldwork on the site, the cul- tural identity of its inhabitants have come into question. Although Huancaco has long been deemed a Moche site, Bourget claims that it is not. In this paper I will give a general, widely accepted description of the Moche culture and a brief history of the archaeological work that has been conducted on it. I will then discuss the site of Huancaco itself and my personal involvement with it. Finally, I will give a brief account of the data that have, and have not, been found there. This information is crucial for the necessary comparisons to other Moche sites required by Bourget’s claim that Huancaco is not a Moche site, a claim that will be explained and supported in this paper.

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.

THE EVOLUTION AND CHANGES OF MOCHE TEXTILE STYLE: WHAT DOES STYLE TELL US ABOUT NORTHERN TEXTILE PRODUCTION? María Jesús Jiménez Díaz Museo de América de Madrid / Universidad Complutense de Madrid Although Moche textiles form part of the legacy of one of the best known cultures of pre-Hispanic Peru, today they remain relatively unknown1. Moche culture evolved in the northern valleys of the Peruvian coast (Fig. 1) during the first 800 years after Christ (Fig. 2). They were contemporary with other cultures such us Nazca or Lima and their textiles exhibited special features that are reflected in their textile production. Previous studies of Moche textiles have been carried out by authors such as Lila O'Neale (1946, 1947), O'Neale y Kroeber (1930), William Conklin (1978) or Heiko Pruemers (1995).

  • The Moche Lima Beans Recording System, Revisited
    THE MOCHE LIMA BEANS RECORDING SYSTEM, REVISITED Tomi S. Melka Abstract: One matter that has raised sufficient uncertainties among scholars in the study of the Old Moche culture is a system that comprises patterned Lima beans. The marked beans, plus various associated effigies, appear painted by and large with a mixture of realism and symbolism on the surface of ceramic bottles and jugs, with many of them showing an unparalleled artistry in the great area of the South American subcontinent. A range of accounts has been offered as to what the real meaning of these items is: starting from a recrea- tional and/or a gambling game, to a divination scheme, to amulets, to an appli- cation for determining the length and order of funerary rites, to a device close to an accountancy and data storage medium, ending up with an ‘ideographic’, or even a ‘pre-alphabetic’ system. The investigation brings together structural, iconographic and cultural as- pects, and indicates that we might be dealing with an original form of mnemo- technology, contrived to solve the problems of medium and long-distance com- munication among the once thriving Moche principalities. Likewise, by review- ing the literature, by searching for new material, and exploring the structure and combinatory properties of the marked Lima beans, as well as by placing emphasis on joint scholarly efforts, may enhance the studies. Key words: ceramic vessels, communicative system, data storage and trans- mission, fine-line drawings, iconography, ‘messengers’, painted/incised Lima beans, patterns, pre-Inca Moche culture, ‘ritual runners’, tokens “Como resultado de la falta de testimonios claros, todas las explicaciones sobre este asunto parecen in- útiles; divierten a la curiosidad sin satisfacer a la razón.” [Due to a lack of clear evidence, all explana- tions on this issue would seem useless; they enter- tain the curiosity without satisfying the reason] von Hagen (1966: 157).
