    Cult of the Dead and funerary Architecture: A multidisciplinary approach from Marcajirca site in the north highlands of Peru AD 1000-1500
    (Universidad Catolica del Norte, 2025-01-01)
    The cult of the dead is reflected in a diversity of rituals and types of tombs. Chullpas, funerary caves, underground burials and shelters tombs are present in Marcajirca. This diversity reflects the presence of diverse groups inhabiting the Puccha basin and the Huaritambo valley in the Ancash highlands. However, the cult of the dead is not static; it undergoes a series of modifications, probably due to competition from various ayllus that are being buried at the Marcajirca site. This study brings together the results of archaeological excavations, analysis of cultural material, human remains, radiometric dating and isotopes. The results indicate that Marcajirca functioned as a regional cemetery, where the tombs were used by multiple generations; social differentiation was minimal; food burning was permormed as part of offering rituals; and the sacred mountain Llamoq played an important and influential role in the cult of the dead.

    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.
