AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Moseley, Feldman, Goldstein, and Watanabe are part of on-going investigations in the Rio Osmore (or Rio Moquegua) drainage. This paper describes the Tiahuanaco and the Huari occupations in the valley and explores the relationship between these two cultures. One interesting feature of the valley is the many sites that were deliberately destroyed in prehistory. (These sites are also called 'pitted stone piles.') These sites seem to be associated with the Huari intrusion or colonization of the valley.
