AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document, in Spanish with a summary in German, presents a major study of the excavation of the Ofrendas gallery at the old temple at Chavín de Huántar. Lumbreras recaps his discussion of the architecture noted in his previous work at the site (see eHRAF document no.5 in this file), and then proceeds with a discussion of all of the finds within the gallery which he interprets as dedicatory offerings deposited over a very short period of time, if not during a single episode while the temple was under construction. Discussed in detail in this work are ceramics of local and non-local production, stone and bone artifacts, faunal remains, and human remains (with further details about evidence derived from the bones for cannibalistic rites). General information is also found in this study on the socio-political organization of the Chavín time period. The work is well illustrated with numerous plates following the text.
