AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is an introduction and overview of the papers in the edited volume, [i]The Northern Dynasties: Kingship and Statecraft in Chimor[/i]. The papers were presented by both archaeologists and ethnohistorians at a 1985 symposium that examined the evidence from each field and their interplay in interpreting the Chimu state. The editor notes the importance of uniting the contributions of both fields, and sees agreement between the oral narrations and the archaeological record, writing that "… after long dealing with faceless processes and impersonal institutions of the past, it seems both refreshing and challenging to think in terms of potentially real people, royal offices; and rare events that names such as Pacatnamu, Ñançenpinco, and Fempellec conjure up for consideration" (page 28).
