Item type:Publication, The time of the past: Exploring the rhythms of a pre-Hispanic urban settlement in the coastal Andes (AD 550–850)(SAGE Publishing, 2020-10-01)As archaeologists we experience past time in the present, challenging linear time as we deal with the remains of different moments, events and people. This multi-scalar approach to time stimulates a flexible discussion of the past, understanding it not only in the absolute way provided by calendric dates, but also enmeshed within events and anchored by layers that were lived thousands of years ago. In this article, we will explore the notions of time of the people living in a densely populated settlement in the coastal Andes (AD 550–850), by focusing on the seasonality of quotidian practices, on cyclic constructive events and on the recurrent interment of people within residences. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exploring the Quotidian: An Analysis of Plain-Weave Textiles at Cerro de Oro, Peru, During the Sixth to Tenth Centuries(Cambridge University Press, 2023-05-19)Andean prehispanic textiles are renown for being complex masterpieces made with labor-intensive techniques and high-quality raw materials. Nevertheless, the vast majority of textiles, those used by the population at large, were plain, simple, and without any decoration. We study a sample composed of the most common textiles used by people living at Cerro de Oro in the Cañete Valley, Peru. Our analysis focuses on fiber selection, yarn thickness, and the presence of errors throughout the process of weaving. We discuss relevant aspects of the social process of textile production, such as the role played by plain-weave textiles in different contexts, their use in different types of garments, and the varied ways community members, with particular skill levels, participated in clothing the living and the dead at Cerro de Oro. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Collaborative Archaeology? Reflections on Forms of Heritage Reappropriation in the Community of San Luis de Cañete, Lima, Peru(Springer Science+Business Media, 2026-04-01)This article presents a critical approach to and from collaborative archaeology using the case of the Cerro de Oro Archaeological Project (PACO) in San Luis de Cañete, Peru. In contexts marked by informality, infrastructural exclusion, and legal ambiguity, archaeological sites often coexist with marginalized populations whose daily struggles challenge conventional heritage management frameworks. This article evaluates PACO’s ten-year transition from traditional research to a new approach to collaborative archaeology that puts the communities' needs at the center. The conclusions highlight the importance of sustained relationships, shared agendas, and a commitment to addressing community-defined priorities as key components of ethical and impactful archaeological practice.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Pilot Study of Ceramic Production in a Residential Compound at Cerro de Oro, Cañete, (550–950 CE), An Urban Settlement in the South Coast of Perú(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This article presents a synthesis of research on the chaîne opératoire of ceramic production at Cerro de Oro (550–950 CE), a significant archaeological site on the southern Peruvian coast. Specifically, we discuss the association of ceramic paste recipes (clays and added tempers), vessel forms, and decoration within a residential compound to consider the organization of ceramic production. To do so, this study integrates new data with previous results obtained from Mössbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and other studies of ceramics from the same and other compounds. The objective is to see if specific forms, decorations, or groups of people may be associated with certain paste recipes. We argue that identifying the absence or presence of these types of associations will allow us to better understand ceramic production at Cerro de Oro and particularly the role residential groups played in this process.1
