Abstract

This paper reports on the results of archaeological excavations at the cemetery sector of the Middle Horizon (AD 650–1000) Wari site of Pataraya, located in the middle Nasca valley of southern Peru, and biochemical analyses of human skeletal remains recovered during those excavations. The findings reported here demonstrate that the sharp differences in cultural practice between Pataraya’s occupants and local traditions leading up to the Middle Horizon are echoed in noticeable isotopic differences in the biochemistry of its burial population. We explore the implications of these findings in the context of an uneven and unequal political landscape created by, and responding to, both overt Wari imperialism and the consequences of unprecedented regional interaction. We conclude that these data support previous conclusions drawn from other archaeological evidence that the site is formed from the remains of a Wari state colony. Pataraya’s inhabitants served an explicitly political function in the administration of a key transportation route between the Wari heartland and this distant province, roles that may have been filled by newcomers to the area or from elsewhere in the Nasca valley itself.
移民和国家扩张:来自帕塔拉亚的考古和生物化学证据,秘鲁纳斯卡的一个战争前哨(公元650-1000年)
本文报道了位于秘鲁南部纳斯卡山谷中部的帕塔拉亚中部地平线(公元650-1000年)瓦里遗址墓地部分的考古发掘结果,以及在这些发掘中发现的人类骨骼遗骸的生化分析。这里报告的研究结果表明,在帕塔拉亚的居住者和当地传统之间的文化习俗的巨大差异导致了中地平线,这在其埋葬人口的生物化学中明显的同位素差异中得到了回应。我们在不平衡和不平等的政治格局的背景下探讨这些发现的含义,这些政治格局是由公开的战争帝国主义和前所未有的区域互动的后果造成的,并对其作出回应。我们的结论是,这些数据支持先前从其他考古证据中得出的结论,即该遗址是由瓦里州殖民地的遗迹形成的。帕塔拉亚的居民在瓦里中心地带和这个遥远省份之间的关键交通路线的管理中扮演着明确的政治角色,这些角色可能是由该地区的新来者或纳斯卡山谷本身其他地方的人填补的。

期刊介绍: An innovative, international publication, the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology is devoted to the development of theory and, in a broad sense, methodology for the systematic and rigorous understanding of the organization, operation, and evolution of human societies. The discipline served by the journal is characterized by its goals and approach, not by geographical or temporal bounds. The data utilized or treated range from the earliest archaeological evidence for the emergence of human culture to historically documented societies and the contemporary observations of the ethnographer, ethnoarchaeologist, sociologist, or geographer. These subjects appear in the journal as examples of cultural organization, operation, and evolution, not as specific historical phenomena.
