AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Daggett's dissertation documents his surface survey of the Nepeña Valley, arriving at the novel discovery that ridgetop platform mounds were domestic structures, a settlement pattern that left the valley floor free for agriculture, and took advantage of cooling breezes and a relative scarcity of bothersome insects. Three Early Horizon phases are evident from diagnostic ceramics, ceramic decorations, other artifacts, architectural features and settlement patterns. The middle phase appearance of fortified sites indicates the rise of intervalley conflict, possibly over control of trade. Daggett critically examines the use the Chavín de Huántar stylistic sequence as a pan-regional chronological benchmark, noting that north coast tradition is different from the rest of coastal Peru.
