Gary Stockton Vescelius (1930-1982) was an extremely active archaeologist who conducted extensive surveys and numerous excavations in North America, the Caribbean, and Peru. Although he was influential while alive, his almost complete failure to publish the results of his work has caused him to fade into obscurity. The interventions that he made a many important sites have been largely forgotten. However, collections that he amassed have been preserved at Yale University, at the American Museum of Natural History, and in Peru. This paper presents a short biography of Vescelius and evaluates his work.

This paper discusses the forces and events that reduced a city to crumbling walls. Huanuco Pampa, a large provincial Inca installation, was largely abandoned during the Spanish conquest. Warfare, quarrying, treasure hunting, extirpation of idolatry, ranching and farming, and archaeological excavation and reconstruction destroyed much of its physical integrity. Today Huanuco Pampa once again functions as a ceremonial center.

Die Autorin konzentriert sich in diesem Artikel auf Huánuco Pampa, eine sehr bedeutende Stätte der Provinzial-Inka-Zeit im zentralen Hochland Perus. Sie betrachtet insbesondere die Zeit zwischen dem bevorstehenden Verlassen durch die Inka in den 1530er Jahren und der Gegenwart. Über den gesamten Zeitraum hinweg diente Huánuco Pampa immer wieder den unterschiedlichsten Zwecken. Es war Kriegsschauplatz, Steinbruch, Bauernhof, Naturdenkmal, Standort einer christlichen Kapelle, Friedhof für ungetaufte Kinder, ein Rastplatz für Maultiertreiber, Endstation eines Zweigs des kolonialen Postsystems, Fußballplatz, Rast- und Zeltplatz, Abstellplatz für Autos und schließlich Festplatz. Zusätzlich verlief die Nationalstraße, eine der zentralen Verkehrsachsen des peruanischen Hochlandes, mitten durch die archäologische Stätte. Huánuco Pampa wurde darüber hinaus durch archäologische Ausgrabungen und Rekonstruktionen verändert und auch die „Kampagnen zur Ausrottung der Götzendienste“ beschädigten vermutlich die Ruinen aus der Inka-Zeit. Selten konnte die „Taphonomie“ einer andinen archäologischen Fundstätte derart detailliert rekonstruiert werden. Die Autorin vertritt die Auffassung, dass Archäologen bei ihren Interpretationen zur Funktion und Bedeutung Huánuco Pampas die Veränderungen, die es im Laufe der Jahrhunderte durchlaufen musste, mit berücksichtigen müssen und die Stätte nicht als unberührtes Baudenkmal betrachten können.

Entre 1963 y 1966, John Victor Murra dirigio estudios de campo y de archivo que giraron en torno al gran yacimiento incaico de Huanuco Pampa, Peru. El y su equipo emprendieron exploraciones arqueologicas en este lugar y su region, efectuaron una extensa excavacion en area en la parte monumental del mismo Huanuco Pampa, llevaron a cabo una importante reconstruccion arquitectonica del sitio, hicieron cateos en otros mas pequenos, efectuaron estudios etnograficos y trabajo de archivo, y volvieron a publicar fuentes coloniales importantes, relevantes para la region de Huanuco. En el transcurso de estos trabajos documentaron un campo de cimientos de piedra alineados en la margen occidental de Huanuco Pampa, en una zona del lugar denominada Muyuwaynin segun las notas de campo de Murra. Sugiero que estos son los restos de un grupo de depositos no incluido por Craig Morris en su tesis, Storage in Tawantinsuyu, o en las publicaciones derivadas de la misma. Si mi interpretacion es correcta, estos depositos semejan los que fueran encontrados en el valle de Cochabamba en Bolivia, posteriormente estudiados por Morris. Alli unos cimientos circulares de grandes piedras encierran pisos de grava y sirvieron como base para muros de barro y techos de paja. En lo que venia a ser una suerte de arqueologia experimental, el equipo de Murra reconstruyo uno de los depositos semicilindricos y de paredes de piedra en el "Cerro de las Collcas".

Aunque se le conoce como un antropologo y etnohistoriador, John Murra tuvo dos grandes intervenciones en la arqueología sudamericana. Con Donald Collier llevo a cabo exploraciones en el Ecuador entre 1941 y 1942. Durante su segunda intervención (1965) Murra dirigió excavaciones y restauración de Huanuco Pampa. Reconstruyo los muros del Ushnu, las kallankas, los portales y una collca. Demolió edificios en la plaza del Ushnu, los cuales considero eran los restos del asentamiento espanol. El poco conocido trabajo arqueológico de Murra en Huanuco esta documentado en mas de 232 rollos de película y aproximadamente dos pies lineales de notas de campo. Este archivo se encuentra en el American Museum of Natural History en Nueva York.

It has been claimed that the puquios, a subterranean irrigation system of the Nazca drainage, are a unique prehispanic innovation. However, documentary evidence indicates that many puquios were constructed and managed by Spaniards. In Iberia such systems were built by Islamic engineers and were extended by Christians after the Moors were expelled in 1492. The Spaniards brought this technology to Mexico and the Andes, beginning in the mid-sixteenth century. They employed it in agriculture, in urban water systems, and to drain mines. This paper presents new evidence on the 21 Andean areas where puquios were constructed and controlled by the Spaniards and evaluates arguments pertaining to the origin of the Nazca puquios.

Indagar una fecha correcta o probable del establecimiento en Sudamérica occidental del sistema de manejo de agua--conocido en el Perú como puquio, y genéricamente llamado galería filtrante o qanat--es importante porque su supuesta existencia a mediados del primer milenio d.C. ha sido un elemento importante en la reconstrucción de ocupaciones humanas prehistóricas en la región Nazca.

Filtration galleries (also called fogaras, qanats, ras, viajes, minas, cimbras, puquios, apantles con tragaluces, and chain wells) are underground water delivery systems consisting of tunnels and vertical shafts. They are found throughout the Islamic and Hispanic worlds. In Spain, this technology is believed to have been introduced by the Arab and Berber Conquerors of Iberia, although a Roman origin is possible. In Mexico, the question of origin remained open until historical studies and excavation established that filtration galleries were an innovation of the Spanish settlers and first build in the sixteenth century. In Chile filtration galleries are also believed to be a European introduction. However, in Peru scholars unaware of the extent of identical works in Spain, the Canary Islands, Mexico, Chile, and elsewhere in Peru postulated that the puquios of the Nazca Valley represent a unique innovation of the precolombian Nasca culture. Both scientific evidence and national ideology have played roles int he cultural assignment of filtration galleries.

Three books have had an immense influence on the thought of Andean peoples from the late sixteenth century to the present. These books are three major publications resulting from the Third Lima Provincial Council (1582-83), the Doctrina Christiana, the Confessionario, and the Tercer Catechism. In composing these publications, clerics responded to their view of Andean thought and tried to eliminate those aspects that were not in conformity with orthodox Catholic doctrine. This paper explores some of the ways that the teaching codified in these books influenced traditional Andean Societies

En 1968 John Howland Rowe afirmo que la porción monumental del Cuzco incaico formaba el perfil de una puma si se le observaba desde el aire. Esta idea ha sido ampliamente aceptada tanto por estudiosos, como por el publico en general. Rowe senala que la evidencia documental confiable acerca de la apariencia prehispanica de Cuzco reside potencialmente en los relatos hechos por personas que vieron la ciudad imperial antes de 1534 cuando la revuelta de Manco Inca dio por resultado su parcial destrucción. Sin embargo, Rowe no se basa en testigos oculares, sino en afirmaciones enigmáticas de Juan de Betanzos y de Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa. Los autores sostenemos que al comparar la ciudad del Cuzco con un felino, Betanzos y Sarmiento pueden haber estado influenciados por la moda europea de elaboración de mapas que representaba continentes, países o provincias en forma de personas, animales, plantas y objetos comunes. Uno de los mapas mas populares de este tipo fue el Leo Belgicus. Dado que Betanzos y Sarmiento pudieron haber descrito el Cuzco teniendo en mente convenciones gráficas europeas, debemos buscar otra evidencia para comprender el plan urbano de la capital inca.

La creación de una arquitectura de estilo incaico no finalizo abruptamente con la conquista hispana de los Andes. Artesanos nativos participaron en la reconstrucción del Cusco y en la construcción de la nueva ciudad de Guamanga. Indignas cristianizados como hechiceros edificaron numerosas iglesias provinciales durante el siglo que siguió al colapso del Tawantinsuyo. Una de esas es San Cristóbal de Pampachiri. Temas iconograficos indígenas fueron a menudo incorporados dentro de la decoración de tales edificios eclesiásticos, sincretizados con simbolos cristianos a modo de escapar a la censura de los extirpadores de idolatrías.

The creation of Inca style art and architecture did not cease abruptly with the Spanish conquest of the Andes. Native craftsmen participated in the rebuilding of Cusco and in the construction of the new city of Huamanga founded in 1539. Both Christianized Indians and followers of the old Andean religions constructed numerous provincial churches during the century after the collapse of Tawantinsuyu. These include San Cristobal de Pampachiri, described in this paper. Indian iconographic themes were often incorporated into the decoration of such churches, blended with Christian symbols so as to escape the censure of Catholic clergy. This paper considers the iconographic program of San Cristobal de Pampachiri and compares it with the drawing of Coricancha in Cusco of Joan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui.

In our culture literacy is seen as an essential key to understanding and power. Nevertheless, large and sophisticated polities can be expanded and managed in contexts devoid of literacy in conventional senses. The best known example is the Inca empire. The complexities of Inca economics, astronomy, warfare, history, and religion required computational and recording facilities beyond those of human memory. This paper examines the roles of quipu or know records, and of historical paintings in fulfilling Inca needs. It proposes an alternative view of history created in the early colonial period in response to knowledge of the Old World.

In discussions of the construction date of the water management systems in Nazca, in southern Peru, known as puquios, it is asserted that some puquios have existed since the sixth century AD, despite the region's frequent earthquakes. We examined four Nazca puquios in July 1997, to test the plausibility of this assertion and to determine whether the November 1996 earthquake had visibly affected the systems. We found extensive damage to puquios within the city. We also observed that at least one system had suffered heavy damage had been repaired previously in the mid-20th century. We documented previously unmapped portions of two major puquios. Finally we discovered that the a reconstruction of the Cantalloc puquio carried out in 1987 was collapsing. We believe that the visible evidence from Nazca in 1997 argues strongly against the supposition that these systems can survive essentially intact for over one and one half millennia.

In 1743 attorney M. Valdivieso y Torrejon prepared a printed legal brief on behalf of his client don Lorenzo Joseph de Aparicio the owner of the Chancaillo Hacenda in Peru's Chancay Valley. Don Lorenzo Joseph had brought suit in Peru's water court against his neighbor, don Jacino de Rojas, the owner of the Jequan Hacienda, also in the Chancay Valley. The water from two puquios or filtration galleries was in dispute. Who would get it depended on an important legal point. If the puquios had been built by Indians before the arrival of the Spaniards in Peru, then the landowners of the Chancay Valley were required to to share their water. If, however, a landowner had built the puquios after the conquest, he had exclusive rights. This paper examines the legal arguments advanced by Valdivieso y Torrejon and his client.

The Andarax Valley of southern Spain shares many similarities with the coastal valleys of Peru and northern Chile. It is arid, extensively terraced, and watered for part of most years by its seasonally dry river. Viticulture is supported by ground water via medieval filtration galleries, qanat systems nearly identical to the puquios of Lima, Nazca, Azapa, Pica, and Matilla. The valley's water table is replenished mainly from precipitation falling above the 1000 meter contour of the Sierra Nevada. The Andarax river system drains into the Mediterranean at Almeria, an ancient port from which travelers embarked for the New World during Spanish colonial times. The physical and human geography of the Andarax Valley will be compared with those of the Nazca Valley of Peru's South Coast. Similarities between Andarax and Nazca have important implications for the Spanish settlement of the Andes.

At the 1993 SAA meeting "definitive proof" of first millennium A.D. dates for the Nazca puquios was announced. Evidence is two AMS dates on component stones. Basic principles of stratigraphy are ignored. In accepting prehispanic dates we must disregard identical medieval works in Spain's Andarax Valley. Although hispanic engineers built similar water systems in Spain, the Canary and Balearic Islands, Mexico, and the Andes, we are asked to believe that they did not build, or recognize, those of Nazca. We suggest the puquios may include reused dressed masonry, and propose lines of research to resolve the dating question.

En el presente trabajo se postula que la tecnología de acueductos de la antigüedad romana nunca cayo del todo en desuso. Los acueductos romanos se componían de tres partes: túneles y pozos como los que se observan en los qanats persas, estructuras menores que transportan el agua casi a nivel del suelo, y tramos de grandes arcos. Algunos de los acueductos construidos por los romanos en la Península Ibérica continuaron en servicio hasta fines del siglo XVI o comienzos del XVII, por lo menos. Uno de ellos era el acueducto de Carmona en Sevilla. Los conquistadores españoles introdujeron la tecnología romana de los acueductos en México y la región andina, si bien a menudo utilizando los diversos elementos por separado, sin combinarlos en sistemas unificados. Los acueductos de arcos que se encuentran en México y las galerías filtrantes de México, Perú y Chile son ejemplos de una antigua tecnología del Viejo Mundo que fue introducida en el hemisferio occidental durante la Era del Descubrimiento.

And Francisco Gallardo I. Fuenzalida and Gallado revisit the work of Augusto Capedeville, an amateur archaeologist active in Chile in the early twentieth century. Analysis of Capedeville’s field diaries and finds allows Fuenzalida and Gallardo to postulate that the late prehistoric cultures of the northern Chilean coast were more sophisticated than previously realized. They build their analysis within an explicitly Marxist framework.

He interprets the overall role of Pachacamac as a pilgrimage center and shares ideas on the function of storage there and elsewhere on the Peruvian coast, drawing contrasts with Inca storage in the sierra.

This is a translation from Spanish into English of "Reconstruction of the Burial Offering at Punkuri in the Nepena Valley of Peru's North-Central Coast". In 1933 Julio C. Tello began field-work in the Nepena Valley. He conducted excavations at the Chavin temple site of Punkuri, uncovering a female sacrificial burial with its offerings. Among them was an engraved trumpet made from a Strombus Galeatus shell. Missing for years, Falcon and his colleagues re-located it in a museum storehouse. Falcon reconstructs Tello's excavations and discusses the finds associated with the human sacrifice.

This is a translation from Spanish to English of Argentinian archaeologist and ethnohistorian Ana María Lorandi’s reminiscences of John Victor Murra as a mentor to women. Lorandi describes Murra’s new perspective in ethnohistory, rooted in his work centered in Huánuco, Peru during the 1960s. Murra presented his hypothesis on vertical control of ecological niches at a rock art conference in Huánuco in 1967 and led a site visit to the Inca city of Huánuco Pampa. Over the years Murra inspired Lorandi’s shift from archaeology to ethnohistory and was her link to anthropology outside her own country.

This is a translation from Spanish to English of Argentinian scholar Silvia Raquel Palomeque’s reminiscences of John Victor Murra as a mentor to women. Palomeque recalls the classes Murra taught at FLACSO (Facultad Latinoamericana e Ciencias Sociales) in Quito during 1984. Theoretical insights derived from participation in radical activism during the 1970s combined with political and economic theory to inform the scholarship of those who focused on popular or rural segments of societies. Murra encouraged students to see Andean societies in terms of their own internal logic and revealed that in his own view anthropology was a kind of militarism.
