The Casma state, which flourished on the north coast of Peru in the
centuries before European contact, is an important and vastly
understudied ancient culture. Its capital city, El Purgatorio, was
inhabited from ca. 700-1400 AD. The rise and fall of El Purgatorio
spans a period of dynamic transition in Andean history but has
rarely been mentioned in previous research. Melissa Vogel
investigates this extensive, monumental urban site in The Casma
City ofEl Purgatorio. Using the city's architecture and spatial
organization, its rituals, religion, and mortuary practices, its
political economy, and other material evidence, she describes the
people who lived there. A culmination of Vogel's sixteen-year study
of the Casma culture, this book demonstrates how ancient cities
help us understand the development and collapse of complex
societies.
