1	Domestic Camelids Dispersal to the Northern Highland of Perú during the Formative Period / La difusión de los camélidos domesticados en el norte del Perú durante el Periodo Formativo Uzawa, Kazuhiro 10 April 2018 (has links) In this paper, faunal data from two Formative sites, Kuntur Wasi and Pacopampa, are compared. At both sites, the composition ratio of the camelids to deer increased in the late Formative Period. This change of taxonomic composition in the bone sample is interpreted as the subsistence shift from deer hunting to camelid herding. By integrating the faunal data from these sites, it can be suggested that the timing of camelid introduction to the sites corresponds with an overall change of the social framework, which is the shift from a regional society to more widespread network of societies. / En este artículo se exponen los resultados de los análisis en muestras de huesos animales de dos sitios del Periodo Formativo, Kuntur Wasi y Pacopampa, ubicados en el norte del Perú. Ambos complejos se localizan fuera de la distribución natural de los camélidos salvajes. Gracias a estos estudios se podrá comprender, de manera más clara, la introducción del camélido domesticado en esta región y su forma de utilización. Existe una correspondencia entre el momento de la introducción del camélido domesticado y los cambios en la estructura social. En esa época se habría dado el paso de una sociedad basada en la subsistencia local a una que establecía una red extendida de intercambio.

2	Subsistence at Si•čǝ’nǝł: the Willows Beach site and the culture history of southeastern Vancouver Island Willerton, Ila Moana 03 September 2009 (has links) Culture types in Pacific Northwest archaeology are characteristic artifact assemblages distinguishing different prehistoric periods. Assemblages indicate a culture type transition during the 2,630 BP–270 BP occupation of Willows Beach (DcRt-10), southeastern Vancouver Island. Faunal remains could reveal links to subsistence patterns, following Croes’s theory that culture type change reflects subsistence intensification. Five dated DcRt-10 faunal assemblages underwent taxonomic and size classification, weighing and MNI calculation. Vertebrate weight and NISP percentages were compared between stratigraphic units associated with the later Gulf of Georgia and earlier Locarno Beach culture types. The youngest assemblage contains a smaller proportion of land mammal bone, suggesting increased sea mammal, fish, and bird procurement. Faunal remains also suggest a greater variety of taxa exploited over time. Faunal assemblages suggest that culture type change at DcRt-10 is the product of subsistence change, increasing knowledge of the culture historic sequence of this region.
