Item type:Publication, Macabalaca: New evidence of the Kotosh religious tradition in the Huarmey Valley, Peru(Cambridge University Press, 2022-12-23)Rescue excavations at the site of Macabalaca (PV35-72) in the Huarmey Valley, Peru, identified a rectangular structure with niches on its walls and a floor with a central hearth. We present results of those excavations, emphasizing the stratigraphic components and relative chronology. We conclude that the structure belongs to the Kotosh Religious Tradition (KRT) and can be preliminarily placed in the Late Archaic (2800-1800 BC) or Early Formative period (1800-1200 BC). - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Embedded Religiousness and the Kotosh Religious Tradition in Highland Peru: The Site of La Seductora(Cambridge University Press, 2023-04-25)Religion played a key role in the social organisation and political authority of early Andean societies. Excavations at La Seductora in Peru have identified a circular structure with a central hearth and an underground ventilation shaft. The authors argue that the structure belongs to the Kotosh religious tradition, which dominated the central Andes during the Late Archaic and Formative periods (2800-550 BC). Probably representing a small shrine for use by local families, the authors situate La Seductora within the context of power and religiosity in Andean society, providing a model of relevance to similar contexts elsewhere in the world.
