AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Terada and Onuki report on their excavations and findings from the site of Huacaloma in Peru. The site was occupied from the Early Huacaloma through the Middle Cajamarca Periods. How they excavated and the levels and stratigraphy they found are reported in great detail along with the architecture and the artifacts. The report contains numerous drawings and photographs of the stratigraphy, the excavation levels, the walls found within the excavation levels, the ceramics, and the other artifacts. A detailed ceramic typology is presented. Although, the architecture that was found during the excavations was not given a function, most were probably part of either a public or religious structure. Only the data that pertains to the Early Huacaloma, Late Huacaloma, and Lazón Periods were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials ) codes. The reader should use caution when examining the plates as artifacts or architecture from several time periods may be shown on a plate.
