PATTERNS OF CERAMIC EXCHANGE DURING THE CLASSIC AND HISTORIC PERIODS IN THE JEMEZ AREA: EVIDENCE FROM EARLY EXCAVATIONS AT AMOXIUMQUA AND GIUSEWA
The dynamic period that spans the Classic to the Historic in the Jemez Area is documented in the sites of Amoxiumqua and Giusewa. Based on re-evaluations of maps, notes, and pottery collections from the 1910-1911 excavations of these sites, held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, different spheres of interaction, as they are represented in the ceramic record, are revealed. Both sites share similar architecture, are within the Jemez culture area, are occupied during the same time periods, and their pottery assemblages are dominated by Jemez Black on White. Even with these many similarities, distinct patterns emerge through time in the nonlocal pottery types present revealing different networks of interaction. Giusewa has an extended network that, although fluctuating through time, is consistently more diverse than that of Amoxiumqua. The non-local pottery of Amoxiumqua is not only less diverse, but continually restricted to the directly adjacent Rio Grande Glaze Ware area. This variability is not explained solely by the presence and the exchange system of the colonial mission system at the site of Giusewa, but instead is a pattern that begins during the earliest occupation of the site. Thus although broadly similar, these sites represent varying roles in regional interaction.

Evidence of Botanical Diversity and Species Continuity from Chancay Sites in The Huaura Valley, Peru1
Evidence Of Botanical Diversity and Species Continuity from Chancay Sites in The Huaura Valley, Peru
. This study reports on new botanical evidence from the north-central coast of Peru. The material dates to the Late Intermediate Period (approximately CE 1100–1435) and is from archaeological excavation at the sites of Rontoy, Quipico, and Chambara located in the Huaura Valley. All three sites belong to what has been defined as the Chancay culture. The diversity of species present is consistent with the plants utilized in the region beginning in the Preceramic Period. Data also show differential distribution of plant taxa by site that cannot be explained by ecological zone or site location.

El presente estudio reporta nueva evidencia botánica recuperada en la costa norte-central de Perú. Los materiales corresponden al periodo Intermedio Tardío (aproximadamente entre A. D. 1100-1435) y provienen de las excavaciones arqueológicas en los sitios Rontoy, Quipico, and Chambara en el Valle de Huaura. Los tres sitios pertenecen a lo que ha sido definido como la cultura Chancay. La diversidad de especies encontrada es consistente con las plantas utilizadas en la región desde el periodo Pre-cerámico. Esta información también muestra una distriución diferencial en las especies de plantas analizadas en cada sitio, la cual no puede ser explicada como consecuencia de la zona ecológica o la ubicación de cada uno de los asentamientos.
