    Continuity and change in the cult of the dead: Shaping kin formation in the Peruvian Andes (A.D. 1000–1600)
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024-01-01)
    This paper presents the results of archaeological investigations within funerary contexts at the site of Marcajirca (a.d. 1000–1600) in the north-central highlands of Peru. The results suggest the existence of various population groups, or ayllu members, that were buried at this site. Two contemporary types of tombs are predominant, funerary caves and chullpas, along with two belowground tombs, which are atypical in the region. Bioarchaeological analyses indicate that all the tombs were collective and that the remains were manipulated over time. The evidence from Marcajirca points to important changes in funerary patterns with respect to the previous period, including tombs being incorporated into residential places and, later in time, tombs as created, extra, private spaces by enclosing the chullpas within patios where rituals such as burning of offerings were practiced. The results are discussed within the context of the cult of the dead and the formation of ayllus.

    Ceramic production and exchange in the Chavín heartland: an archaeometric study from Canchas Uckro (1100 − 800 BCE), Ancash, Peru
    (Springer Nature, 2025-12-01)
    Canchas Uckro is one of several settlements surrounding the ceremonial and urban center of Chavín de Huántar (c. 1100 − 400 BCE). In this paper, we explore the relationship between these two sites through an archaeometric study of pottery production at Canchas Uckro (c. 1100 − 800 BCE). Specifically, we combine thin-section petrography and portable X-ray fluorescence to characterize technological style based on a sample of 56 sherds. Our analyses identified 12 distinct petro-groups, with most of the pottery (85% of the assemblage) reflecting two local technological styles. A small percentage of ceramic fine wares representing both geochemical and technological outliers (2–4%) point to probable interregional exchange, while a larger group of undecorated ceramics (~ 10%) suggests more frequent intraregional interactions. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that Canchas Uckro's ceramic production was independent of Chavín de Huántar, with its inhabitants participating in distinct social and economic networks.
