Latin American Antiquity, 2021
The Late Intermediate period in the south-central Andes is known for the widespread use of open sepulchres called chullpas by descent-based ayllus to claim rights to resources and express idealized notions of how society should be organized. Chullpas, however, were rarer on the coast, with the dead often buried individually in closed tombs.

Late Intermediate Period Plant Use at a Colla Hillfort, Puno, Peru (AD 1300–1450)
Latin American Antiquity, 2020In the Lake Titicaca Basin during the Late Intermediate period (LIP; AD 1100–1450), people's lives were overwhelmingly structured by warfare. Previous research in the region has shed light on how martial conflict between and possibly among competing ethnic groups motivated people to live in fortified villages on defensive hilltops.

Settlement Organization and Architecture in Late Intermediate Period Chachapoyas, Northeastern Peru
Latin American Antiquity, 2015Chachapoya societies that lived on the forested eastern slopes of the Andes in northern Peru between A.D. 1000 and 1450 remain largely absent from broader narratives of the Andean Late Intermediate period (LIP). This paper argues that environmentally deterministic frameworks and lingering Inka biases have led scholars to problematically isolate ...

The emergence of trepanation in this region coincides with the collapse of the Wari Empire, ca. ad 1000. Thirty‐two individuals from Andahuaylas, AMS radiocarbon dated to the early Late Intermediate Period (ca ...

Avoiding War in Tarapacá (Northern Chile) During the Andean Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000–1450)
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2015AbstractThe Late Intermediate period (LIP, AD 1000–1450) in the South Central Andes is commonly characterized by an increase in violence. Here, we analyse evidence to test whether the population that inhabited the oasis of Pica (Region of Tarapacá, Northern Chile) during LIP was engaged in violent warfare.

Warfare profoundly shaped the trajectory of life in the Lake Titicaca Basin, Peru, during the Late Intermediate Period (1100–1450 C.E.). A long drought and new social tensions amplified subsistence stresses for LIP peoples. Recent archaeological research at Ayawiri, one of the largest fortresses in the western Titicaca Basin, has allowed us to ...

Prehispanic Warfare during the Early Horizon and Late Intermediate Period in the Huaura Valley, Perú
Current Anthropology, 2009Discussions of prehispanic warfare entail treatment of the relationship between ritual and war, and inform on interpretations of indigenous fortifications. Ten radiocarbon dates from recent excavations at the fortress of Acaray in the Huaura Valley, Peru, confirm the site was used during two periods: the Early Horizon (ca.

The End of Ayawiri: Abandonment at an Andean Hillfort Town of the Late Intermediate Period
Journal of Field Archaeology, 2017ABSTRACTAs the south-central Andes came under Inca control, many hillfort towns and villages were abandoned in favor of low-lying, non-defensive settlements. Recent investigation at Ayawiri (Machu Llaqta), a fortified hilltop town in the Titicaca Basin of southern Peru, sheds light on how such sites met their end.
