“…They share identical superimposed stepped platform construction, a zigzag platform mound wall design, and identical adobe brick molds with shared “makers’ marks.” A long wall from the northwest corner of the platform turns north to delimit the border of the main plaza at Huaca el Pueblo and Dos Cabezas. The same wall at both sites is decorated with low-relief X-shaped geometric murals with a white diamond on a black background (Bourget 2014). Dos Cabezas and Úcupe lords were buried in adobe brick chamber tombs adjacent to the primary platform mound.…”

“…The architectural complex of El Pueblo de Úcupe covered 970 ha, the focal point of which was a truncated adobe platform mound some 81 m long, 55 m wide, and 18 m high. A chamber tomb contained an elite individual dating to the Middle Moche A period and was locally named the Lord of Úcupe (Figure 4; Bourget 2014). Tomb contents and internal organization closely mirrored practices at Sipán.…”

“…The five classical temporal phases developed by Larco Hoyle are applicable only to the southern Moche. In the north, an Early, Middle, and Late Moche sequence is recognized that can be further subdivided into Middle Moche A, B, and C phases (Bourget 2014; Supplemental Tables 1, 2).…”

“…Descendants of the earlier Gallinazo peoples persisted as one or more social or ethnic groups coexisting with, and even outliving, the Moche in places (Bourget 2010; Donnan 2009; Shimada and Maguiña 1994). Simultaneously, it has become increasingly apparent that northern Moche centers were closely linked to each other and with their southern counterparts (for a fuller exposition of this argument, see Bourget 2014). Both northern and southern Moche elites participated in a common cultural and religious framework.…”

Biological Distance Patterns Among the Northern Moche Lords: Dental Phenotypes and Political Organization in Ancient Peru

Between AD 100 and 800, the Moche culture emerged on the north coast of Peru. Diverse debates surround the nature of Moche territorial and political centralization, sociopolitical identities, and the internal social diversity of Moche society. Here we address some of these issues in a biodistance study based on phenotypic variation of inherited dental traits within and between 36 individuals in the royal tombs of Sipán (Lambayeque valley), Úcupe (Zaña valley), and Dos Cabezas (Jequetepeque valley). Metric and nonmetric dental trait data were analyzed using hierarchical cluster and R-matrix analyses. The results independently indicate that the highest-level Sipán and Dos Cabezas lords likely represented different endogamous kin groups, while limited gene flow occurred between groups of Moche lower nobility between the Lambayeque and Jequetepeque regions. Although biology and material cultural link the Lord of Úcupe to Dos Cabezas, many objects in his tomb demonstrate his participation the world of the Sipán elites. These Moche lords were, on some levels, bioculturally interconnected. Nonetheless, the data broadly lend support to a “many Moches” model of sociopolitical structure, further casting doubt on earlier one-dimensional visions of a centralized hegemonic Moche polity.

“…Los cántaros Mochicas presentan frecuentemente una cuerda pintada o modelada alrededor del cuello. Se trata de un elemento estilístico que permite identificar una ofrenda o un elemento ofrecido (Arsenault 1992; Benson 1975:108; Bourget 1994:97, 129) como en el caso de un cántaro descubierto en la Huaca Cao Viejo en El Brujo (Figura 8d). Estos platos y cántaros están figurados con piernas, como si estuvieran animados.…”

Los festines fueron una práctica común y recurrente en los Andes Centrales durante la época prehispánica. Sin embargo, no existe un consenso sobre los criterios utilizados en la caracterización arqueológica de estos eventos. En este artículo revaluamos las evidencias del Repositorio de Ofrendas 1 de Sipán, un sitio Mochica (siglos tres y cuatro dC) ubicado en el valle de Lambayeque, a través del empleo de una variable cuantitativa llamada “peso de carne disponible”. Asociado a la tumba del Señor de Sipán, este depósito contiene centenas de ofrendas de prestigio, pero también miles de restos de fauna. El análisis de estos últimos proporciona nuevas perspectivas sobre la comida funeraria dada en homenaje a este alto dignatario después de su entierro. El uso de la variable mencionada permite evaluar la magnitud de esta comida y muestra la importancia de definir criterios metodológicos fiables para seguir investigando los festines, eventos que constituyen una de las bases de las relaciones sociales y políticas de las sociedades prehispánicas.

In this article, I investigate the Northern and Southern Moche archaeological cultures by evaluating the data gathered and theories developed since their first identification 25 years ago. I suggest that what was previously considered the Southern Moche tradition was the dominant one throughout most of the North Coast, with regional variations, prior to about AD 650. After that date, the “Classic Moche” tradition ended in both regions and was succeeded by distinct Northern and Southern ceramic and mortuary traditions and, inferentially, reorganized social, political, and religious systems as well. The relations between regional mortuary and other traditions and fineware styles are considered in light of pan-regional dynamics including the ascendancy of the Wari Empire.
