Asentamiento, Agricultura Y Pastoralismo Durante El Periodo Formativo en El Valle Del Colca, Perú

Abstract: Este artículo presenta una visión preliminar de la ocupación formativa en el valle del Colca, ubicado en la sierra suroccidental peruana. A partir de datos recuperados de una prospección sistemática de la parte central del valle, se define por primera vez el patrón de asentamiento del periodo Formativo. Se presenta un resumen descriptivo de un estilo de cerámica local asociada con la ocupación formativa, y se caracteriza la naturaleza de los asentamientos de agricultores y pastores tempranos, junto con una dis… Show more

“…The fertile Colca Valley – a montane oasis in a vast expanse of high‐altitude semi‐arid grasslands ( puna ) in southern Peru – has served as an important regional node since the Archaic Period (9000‐3300 BCE) (Tripcevich 2010; Wernke 2011). Early terracing in the valley augmented natural drainage patterns, as households constructed clusters of sloping, ‘segmented’ terraces in quebradas (ravines) on the upper slopes (Treacy 1994 b ).…”

“…Early terracing in the valley augmented natural drainage patterns, as households constructed clusters of sloping, ‘segmented’ terraces in quebradas (ravines) on the upper slopes (Treacy 1994 b ). Fields along the valley bottom pampas (plains) were enclosed by massive, interconnected agro‐mortuary walls (fieldstone walls up to several metres thick, with integrated collared tombs and storage features; see Wernke 2011: 211‐15). The time‐frame of the initial construction of earthen terraces remains ambiguous, but probably occurred during the early part of the Formative Period (1500 BCE‐500 CE) (Wernke 2011).…”

“…These Huaracane residential sites were generally small in size, less than 0.5 hectares, and located close to the floodplain of the Rio Moquegua, suggesting a reliance upon simple valley-edge canals to irrigate agricultural fields (Goldstein 2000:343). The Huaracane agricultural system was relatively simplistic in comparison to other contemporary Formative Period agricultural systems developed elsewhere in the south central Andes (see Wernke 2011)" To date, no clearly identifiable Huaracane economic or political centers have been identified. In general Huaracane residential settlements appear to have been fundamentally autonomous.…”
