This work is an archaeological investigation of the Moche culture
of northern Peru (ca. AD 100-800). It is a study of Moche burial
patterns and social structure. One of the main objectives of this
research was to bring together information available on Moche
burials from different settlements and from contexts dating to the
Early, Middle, and Late Moche periods as well as the Transitional
period. General patterns regarding burial context and energy
expenditure are identified. The nature of social status is explored
and some general principles of social structure are detailed.
Issues regarding funerary rites of passage, delayed burial, grave
re-entry, and funerary specialists are also discussed with regard
to Moche representation of death.
