New Perspectives on Moche Political Organization (Hardcover)

This volume brings together essays on the nature of political
organization of the Moche, a complex pre-Inca society that existed
on the north coast of Peru from c. 100 to 800 CE. Since the
discovery of the royal tombs of Sipan in 1987, the Moche have
become one of the best-known pre-Hispanic cultures of the Americas
and the focus of a number of archaeological projects. But the
nature of Moche political organization is still debated. Some
scholars view the Moche as a monolithic state, others see a clear
distinction between a northern and southern Moche polity, and yet
others argue that the most accurate model is one in which each
valley contained an independent polity. In a presentation of new
data and new perspectives, the authors debate these competing
theories. Based on a set of papers presented by sixteen
international scholars at the Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Studies
symposium held in Lima, Peru, in 2004, this volume marks an
important point in the development of Moche archaeology and will be
a landmark work in Pre-Columbian studies.
