POLITIES IN THE LURIN VALLEY, PERU, DURING THE EARLY INTERMEDIATE PERIOD

Abstract

The Early Intermediate Period, which can be dated from about 50 B.C. to A.D. 550 in calendrical time, has been the focus of considerable research by archaeologists on the central coast of Peru and its environ·s, the region that stretches from the Chancay Valley in the north to the Chilca Valley in the south and inland from the shores of the Pacific Ocean toward the continental divide in the Andes Mountains more than 100 km. ·to the east. This activity began nearly a century ago with the investigations of E. W. Middendorf at Maranga and of Max Uhle at Pachacamac, Cerro de Trinidad and various sites in the Rimae Valley (Middendorf, 1894, pp. 79-96; Rowe, 1954). The tempo of the research increased dramatically after the end of World War II, and, more importantly, it began to incorporate some consideration of what was happening on the west slopes of the Andes as well as what was taking place on the coastal plain (MacNeish, Patterson and Browman, 1975).
