Abstract
AbstractThe Andean area of South America has long been recognized as a center of emerging civilization. Recent fieldwork at the site of Pampa de las Llamas-Moxeke in the coastal Casma Valley of Peru has revealed important details of an early complex society which dates to about 1400 B.C. Extensive archaeological excavations have yielded data on a variety of activities vital to the urban center. Public structures such as truly monumental mounds as well as subsidiary administrative buildings have been explored along with both elite and lower status domestic units. Available information on subsistence and burial practices is also discussed, and the site is compared to other contemporary coastal settlements.
