<p align="justify">El análisis se basa en la colección de cerámica del museo Larco, con filiación al periodo cultural mochica y asociada con el grupo determinado como cerámica con patologías. Empleando el reconocimiento visual de las representaciones en las vasijas es que se logró determinar la presencia de 17 tipos de paleo patologías representadas en la cerámica mochica, agrupadas en enfermedades congénitas, adquirida, de origen múltiple y alteraciones corporales. Al conocer la naturaleza de los padecimientos y la recurrencia de cada una de las representaciones nos indicaría que representaciones tuvo mayor presencia en el imaginativo del poblador mochica, de igual esta comprensión vale para reconocer el nivel de conocimiento de la anatomía que tuvieron los artesanos al momento de plasmar de manera realista los padecimientos. Además se relacionó las áreas geográficas donde las representaciones fueron frecuentes y con la naturaleza de cada paleopatologías, lográndose definir que el poblador mochica estuvo expuesto a padecimientos locales y foráneos.</p>
La cultura Moche se desarrolló entre los años 200 y 850 d. C. en la costa norte del Perú. Sus vasijas de cerámica presentan un gran nivel de detalle, alto grado de realismo y se ha podido identificar distintas malformaciones físicas en sus representaciones. Se presenta el caso del cerámico C-00122 del Museo de Historia Natural y Cultural de la Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego (MHNC-UPAO), con un cuadro de desorden esquelético asociado a malformaciones faciales, además se plantean una serie de posibles diagnósticos etiológicos.
The Moche were a pre-Hispanic, pre-Incan people who inhabited northwestern Peru from 50 to 850 AD and left behind a large body of ceramic artwork. We present 26 pieces from 5 museums, which seem to show individuals with malformations, minor anomalies, and possible genetic syndromes. Possible diagnoses include cleft lip and palate, ocular anomalies such as hypertelorism and orbital dystopia, oligo-and polydactyly, conjoined twinning, clubfoot, Down syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, and Seckel syndrome. These ceramic portraits suggest that these people with received a certain respect or even elevated status within their society.
En la actualidad, la investigación arqueozoológica está tomando una mayor transcendencia dentro del análisis global del material recuperado. Es por tal motivo que la presente investigación se enfoca en la interpretación de un contexto arqueológico a partir del estudio del material malacológico registrado en las excavaciones del sector de depósitos de conjunto amurallado Xllangchic-An (Uhle) en la metrópoli chimú de Chan Chan para así lograr esclarecer, a partir de la asociación con determinadas especies, las características medioambientales que presentaban las zonas explotadas y las implicancias sociales que conlleva el aprovechamiento de los distintos recursos malacológicos asociados a este contexto de almacenamiento.
Long considered on the margins, far from the major cultural traditions, the Sechura Desert is situated at the crossroads between the cultures of southern Ecuador and those of the northern Peruvian coast and preserves a large number of varied archaeological sites. Despite this evidence, little is known about the societies that inhabited this region during the Holocene. Exposed to natural hazards, including El Niño events, and to major climatic changes, they were able to adapt and exploit the scarce resources that this extreme environment offered them. Because of this rich history, we have been conducting archaeological research in this region since 2012 in order to clarify the dynamics of human occupation and their links with climate oscillations and environmental changes. This paper present the results of a multidisciplinary study of Huaca Grande, a mound located on Nunura Bay, 300 m from the Pacific Ocean. The nature of the human occupations at Huaca Grande was varied, and several adjustments occurred over time. The subsistence economy was based mainly on local marine resources and a continual use of terrestrial vegetal resources. However, a major change occurred in the more recent occupations, with the apparition of non-local resources (maize and cotton) indicating that Huaca Grande was connected to trade networks. The results show two main phases of occupation separated by a long abandonment (mid-5th century CE to mid-7th century CE and mid-13th century to mid-15th century CE). The occupation of the site appears to have been influenced by changes in the local climate and by extreme El Niño events. Our results highlight the great adaptability of these human groups over the span of a millennium and their capacity to react to the climatic changes and hazards that characterise this region.
