RITUAL VIOLENCE AND TIMES OF TRANSITION: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF BURIALS FROM HUACA SANTA CLARA AND HUACA GALLINAZO IN THE VIRÚ VALLEY, PERU Monograph by Rebecca A. Dillon Graduate Program in Anthropology A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada © Rebecca A. Dillon 2015 ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a bioarchaeological analysis of ritual violence in the Virú Valley, Peru in two periods: the Virú Period and the Tomaval Period, with a focus on examining the effects of socio-political times of transition on patterns of ritual violence. In the pre- Columbian Andes, there were several periods of socio-political transition that greatly affected the populations living on the north coast of Peru. One such period was the Middle Horizon (A.D. 800 – 1,100), with the increasing influence of Huari and Tiwanaku, and with the later rise of Chimor (A.D. 1,100 – 1,550) and Sicán (A.D. 800 – 1,350) on the north coast after the collapse of the Moche (A.D. 100 – 800). During this time of transition (which was possibly largely brought on by drought and famine along the coast), great influence was felt in the region from these powerful groups, especially by the local elite who would have had to learn to adapt to their changing socio-political environment. Through the investigation of a series of interments from Huaca Gallinazo and Huaca Santa Clara, this thesis will compare three contexts of ritual violence: one being a series of dedicatory offerings, another being principal-individual-with-retainer interments, and the third being another form of principal-individual-with-retainer interment with associated camelid sacrifices. This analysis ultimately revealed a new form of ritual violence which emerged during the Middle Horizon on the north coast of Peru and which was likely introduced as a reaction of the local elite to a time of great socio-political change.

The countless emails, revisions, and discussions were very much appreciated. Thank you for your constant support and encouragement through this long…long process. Thank you also to Estuardo La Torre Calvera for being my guide and lab partner in Peru. To my family (Mom, Dad, Nana, Kate and Loghan) – thank you for your unwavering belief in my ability to do this. Thank you for seeing me through all the hard times and forcing me to keep going. Most of all, thank you for carrying me through my many school years and always being there when I needed you.

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown.

P000.G0 2007 000!.012 00-00000 ISBN 0-0000-0000-0 (alk. paper) This book is dedicated to the Amerind people, the first Americans Preface The present volume is a revison, extension, and refinement of the ev- idence for the Amerind linguistic family that was initially offered in Greenberg (1987). This revision entails (1) the correction of a num- ber of forms, and the elimination of others, on the basis of criticism by specialists in various Amerind languages; (2) the consolidation of certain Amerind subgroup etymologies (given in Greenberg 1987) into Amerind etymologies; (3) the addition of many reconstructions from different levels of Amerind, based on a comprehensive database of all known reconstructions for Amerind subfamilies; and, finally, (4) the addition of a number of new Amerind etymologies presented here for the first time. I believe the present work represents an advance over the original, but it is at the same time simply one step forward on a project that will never be finished. M. R.

The book presents the original distribution of these languages in early colonial Matthias Urban times, discusses available and lost sources, and traces their demise as speakers switched to Spanish at different points of time after conquest. To the extent possible, the book also explores what can be learned about the sound system, grammar, and lexicon of the North Coast languages from the available materials. It explores what can be said on past language contacts and the linguistic areality of the North Coast and Northern Peru as a whole, and asks to what extent linguistic boundaries on the North Coast can be projected into the pre-Columbian past.

    Cambridge University Press 0521534844 - A History of Chile, 1808-2002 - Second Edition Simon Collier and William F. Sater Excerpt More information PART I Birth of a nation-state, 1800s–1830s Established by Spanish conquistadors in the 1540s, the “captaincy-general” of Chile developed as a small and neglected agrarian colony on the fringe of the Spanish American empire, its isolation enhancing what became after two-and- a-half centuries a distinctive embryonic national culture. The formation of great landed estates sharply stratified colonial society, the predominantly mestizo laboring poor dominated by an upper class modified by eighteenth- century immigration, much of it Basque (Chapter 1). The wars of indepen- dence brought the Chilean nation-state into being: its soldiers and sailors played a key role in the emancipation of the viceroyalty of Peru. The quest of the new nation’s early leaders for a suitable political order culminated in a comprehensive settlement by Conservative politicians in the 1830s. This gave the country a record of institutional continuity unusual in the upheaval-prone Spanish America of the nineteenth century (Chapters 2 and 3). governments 1817–1823 General Bernardo O’Higgins 1823–1826 General Ramon´ Freire 1827–1829 General Francisco Antonio Pinto 1829–1830 Junta 1830 Francisco Ruiz Tagle 1830–1831 Jose´ Tomas Ovalle 1831 Fernando Errazuriz´ 1831–1841 General Joaquın´ Prieto 1 © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521534844 - A History of Chile, 1808-2002 - Second Edition Simon Collier and William F.

Capítulos extraídos pela Biblioteca Digital Curt Nimuendajú: http://www.etnolinguistica.org/hsai Part 4. South American Cultures: An Interpretative Summary ^ By Julian H. Steward introduction It is the purpose of the present article to provide a basis for classi- fying South American Indian cultures and to present comparative summaries of the principal cultural types in terms of their ecological adaptations and historical development. It endeavors to reduce the bewildering variety of cultural data to categories which have a real and historical meaning. In this respect, it differs from the method of historical particularizing which treats each tribe and culture as unique, emphasizing their peculiarities and stressing the exceptional rather than the general. The latter method is valuable in detailed analyses of individual tribes, but, applied to large areas, it gives the impression that cultural elements and patterns occur in a random and fortuitous manner. Admittedly, an attempt to subsume large numbers of tribal cultures under general types, as undertaken here, encounters difficulties pre- sented by borderline cases, by insufficient data, and by possible mis- interpretation of data. The general character of the main cultural types will doubtless have to be redescribed in the light of new infor- mation and more detailed comparisons, and many tribes will quite probably be found to belong to types other than those to which they are here assigned.
