INTRODUCTION AND METHODS<br />
The rema<strong>in</strong>s of 106 <strong>in</strong>dividuals from 59<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gle and multiple burials were recovered<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> 1977, 1979, 1982, and 1983<br />
field seasons. Table 16 summarizes <strong>the</strong><br />
burials from <strong>the</strong> four seasons. This analysis<br />
generally excludes <strong>the</strong> Wanka IV material,<br />
leav<strong>in</strong>g 90 Wanka II and III <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
from 57 separate burials. About 63 percent<br />
(57/90) of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals are considered<br />
primary <strong>in</strong>terments, although some of <strong>the</strong>se<br />
appeared to be disturbed or <strong>in</strong>complete. Of<br />
<strong>the</strong> primary <strong>in</strong>terments, about 20 percent<br />
(11/57) of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals are miss<strong>in</strong>g<br />
extremities and/or crania. Preservation is<br />
generally good.<br />

Post-publication note: A data table list<strong>in</strong>g details of<br />
each burial was published <strong>in</strong> Appendix 2, a report on<br />
paleopathologies <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1983 burials. The table is<br />
<strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> this repr<strong>in</strong>t, as are <strong>the</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
references for <strong>the</strong> entire volume.
symphysis (females: Gilbert and<br />
McKern 1973; males: Todd 1962).<br />
If <strong>the</strong> pelvis was absent or too<br />
<strong>in</strong>complete for this method, we<br />
estimated a general age based on<br />
dental wear (Molnar 1971) and<br />
comparison with <strong>in</strong>dividuals of<br />
known ages.<br />
2. Sex was identified only <strong>in</strong> mature<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals with suitable portions<br />
of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>nom<strong>in</strong>ate bone present.<br />
We used a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of criteria,<br />
of which <strong>the</strong> excursion of <strong>the</strong><br />
iliopect<strong>in</strong>eal l<strong>in</strong>e and <strong>the</strong> presence<br />
of <strong>the</strong> ventral arc and subpubic<br />
concavity were <strong>the</strong> most useful<br />
(Bass 1971). Two <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
found with fetal bones <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
pelves helped establish <strong>the</strong> female<br />
pattern.<br />
3. Dental wear was estimated us<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> technique of Molnar (1971) for<br />
all <strong>in</strong>dividuals over six years of<br />
age. See appendix 2 for a discussion<br />
of dental pathology.<br />
4. Long bone measurements were<br />
taken of complete long bones<br />
(humerus, radius, ulna, femur,<br />
tibia, and fibula). Subadult bones<br />
were measured without epiphyses.<br />
Diameters of <strong>the</strong> femoral and<br />
humeral heads and <strong>the</strong><br />
circumference of <strong>the</strong> femur at<br />
midshaft were recorded. This<br />
analysis is not yet complete and is<br />
not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> this report.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> purposes of this analysis, a<br />
burial is def<strong>in</strong>ed as a set of rema<strong>in</strong>s that<br />
appears to represent <strong>the</strong> simultaneous<br />
<strong>in</strong>terment of one or more <strong>in</strong>dividuals. The<br />
unit of analysis may be ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />
or <strong>the</strong> burial, depend<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> question<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g considered. A number of isolated<br />
body parts, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g articulated extremities<br />
and isolated crania, are labeled as "partial"<br />
burials and are not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> this analysis<br />
except for a brief description. Identification<br />
numbers (e.g., 83-B6) were assigned <strong>in</strong><br />
Appendix 1: Human Burials Analysis<br />
108<br />
<strong>the</strong> field laboratory, generally to <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
that are at least 80 percent complete and to<br />
secondary <strong>in</strong>dividuals that are at least 50<br />
percent complete. Some less complete<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals also have burial numbers. The<br />
first two digits of <strong>the</strong> burial label represent<br />
<strong>the</strong> year of excavation; <strong>the</strong> digits follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> hyphen reflect <strong>the</strong> order of process<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Primary burials are def<strong>in</strong>ed as rema<strong>in</strong>s<br />
that are sufficiently articulated and<br />
complete that <strong>the</strong>y appear to have been<br />
<strong>in</strong>terred before <strong>the</strong> body had decomposed<br />
badly and that have not been significantly<br />
disturbed s<strong>in</strong>ce. Primary burials may lack<br />
crania or one or more extremities.<br />
Secondary burials are def<strong>in</strong>ed as<br />
rema<strong>in</strong>s that appear to represent <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>terment of an <strong>in</strong>dividual, but that are not<br />
sufficiently complete and articulated to be<br />
considered primary. Secondary burials are<br />
presumed to result from reburial,<br />
disturbance, or burial after <strong>the</strong> body had<br />
largely decomposed. X-ray photographs of<br />
Andean mummy bundles at The <strong>Field</strong><br />
Museum of Natural History, Chicago show<br />
extensive disarticulation <strong>in</strong> some <strong>in</strong>stances<br />
not unlike our "secondary" burials.<br />
Naturally, <strong>the</strong>re are some cases <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong><br />
dist<strong>in</strong>ction between primary and secondary<br />
burial cannot be clear. Except where noted,<br />
primary and secondary burials are grouped<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong> this analysis.<br />
Except as stated o<strong>the</strong>rwise, this<br />
analysis considers only <strong>the</strong> primary and<br />
secondary Wanka II and III rema<strong>in</strong>s. It<br />
excludes 16 Wanka IV <strong>in</strong>dividuals, all partial<br />
burials, some scattered earlier rema<strong>in</strong>s from<br />
Pancan, <strong>the</strong> isolated human bones and teeth<br />
found throughout <strong>the</strong> excavations, and <strong>the</strong><br />
redeposited or disturbed human bone <strong>in</strong><br />
J7=2-1. Because of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>completeness of<br />
<strong>the</strong> data available for each <strong>in</strong>dividual,<br />
figures for different categories of analysis<br />
often will not add to <strong>the</strong> same total (see<br />
note <strong>in</strong> table 16). For analyses based on<br />
ages, <strong>in</strong>dividuals are assigned to age<br />
categories accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> midpo<strong>in</strong>t of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir estimated age range, round<strong>in</strong>g up when<br />
necessary. Individuals classified only as
<strong>Archaeological</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Research</strong>, <strong>Upper</strong> <strong>Mantaro</strong>, Peru<br />
older than a certa<strong>in</strong> age are assigned to <strong>the</strong><br />
age range that <strong>in</strong>cludes <strong>the</strong> specified<br />
m<strong>in</strong>imum age. For example, an <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />
of 40+ years falls <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> 40-49 years of age<br />
category.<br />
Because of <strong>the</strong> small number of<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals recovered, this analysis does not<br />
divide <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals <strong>in</strong>to small, specific<br />
categories such as "Wanka II commoner<br />
males." Instead, most parts of <strong>the</strong> analysis<br />
are done by divid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> entire population<br />
<strong>in</strong>to two opposed categories, such as<br />
"Wanka II" and "Wanka III," or "Commoner"<br />
and "Elite." That is, <strong>the</strong> category "Wanka<br />
II" <strong>in</strong>cludes rema<strong>in</strong>s from both commoner<br />
and elite patios, and <strong>the</strong> category "Elite"<br />
<strong>in</strong>cludes rema<strong>in</strong>s from both Wanka II and<br />
Wanka III contexts.<br />
Individuals buried <strong>in</strong> Wanka II contexts<br />
are considered to be from <strong>the</strong> population of<br />
Wanka II times, and <strong>in</strong>dividuals buried <strong>in</strong><br />
Wanka III contexts are considered to be<br />
from <strong>the</strong> population of Wanka III times.<br />
This is a reasonable work<strong>in</strong>g hypo<strong>the</strong>sis for<br />
several reasons. First, all but one of <strong>the</strong><br />
sites were occupied dur<strong>in</strong>g only one of <strong>the</strong><br />
two periods. Second, if abandoned Wanka II<br />
sites were used as burial grounds <strong>in</strong> Wanka<br />
III, one would expect to see some difference<br />
<strong>in</strong> burial practices between <strong>the</strong> burials <strong>in</strong><br />
patios <strong>in</strong> abandoned sites and those <strong>in</strong><br />
occupied sites. There may be temporal<br />
differences <strong>in</strong> burial practices, but <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
not immediately apparent. Third, if <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
were buried <strong>in</strong> abandoned Wanka II<br />
sites ra<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>in</strong> Wanka III patios, one<br />
might expect a higher density of burials <strong>in</strong><br />
Wanka II than <strong>in</strong> Wanka III patios. The<br />
density of burials is almost <strong>the</strong> same <strong>in</strong><br />
patios of both periods. Fourth, all seven<br />
burials that conta<strong>in</strong>ed copper objects are<br />
from Wanka III patios. In nonburial<br />
contexts, copper was over three times more<br />
ubiquitous <strong>in</strong> Wanka III than <strong>in</strong> Wanka II.<br />
Although copper cannot strictly be used as a<br />
marker for <strong>the</strong> Wanka III period, <strong>the</strong><br />
exclusive occurrence of copper <strong>in</strong> burials <strong>in</strong><br />
Wanka III patios suggests that <strong>the</strong>se burials<br />
date from Wanka III times and that burials<br />
<strong>in</strong> Wanka II patios do not. None of <strong>the</strong>se<br />
109<br />
l<strong>in</strong>es of evidence is conclusive, but toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
<strong>the</strong>y tend to support <strong>the</strong> work<strong>in</strong>g hypo<strong>the</strong>sis.<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> burials are considered to<br />
be from <strong>the</strong> Wanka II and Wanka III<br />
populations, <strong>the</strong>y are not necessarily<br />
representative samples of <strong>the</strong>se populations.<br />
At several sites human burials also occur <strong>in</strong><br />
caves and <strong>in</strong> small circular structures that<br />
may be chullpas; o<strong>the</strong>r burial locations may<br />
exist away from sites. These rema<strong>in</strong>s have<br />
not been collected nor systematically dated.<br />
Some are def<strong>in</strong>itely colonial or later, but we<br />
cannot rule out <strong>the</strong> possibility that some of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se unexam<strong>in</strong>ed burials may date to<br />
Wanka II or Wanka III times. However, <strong>the</strong><br />
survivorship data, sex distributions, and<br />
range of associated grave goods are all<br />
consistent with samples from stable,<br />
complete populations. No s<strong>in</strong>gle class or<br />
range of <strong>in</strong>dividuals appears to be miss<strong>in</strong>g<br />
from <strong>the</strong> burial populations. This analysis<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore treats <strong>the</strong> burials as represent<strong>in</strong>g<br />
formerly liv<strong>in</strong>g populations.<br />
Any classification of <strong>the</strong> burials as<br />
commoner and elite is somewhat problematic.<br />
Individuals may not always have been<br />
buried <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> patios <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y lived, and,<br />
<strong>in</strong> fact, <strong>the</strong> presence/absence and number of<br />
grave goods <strong>in</strong> burials seems to vary<br />
<strong>in</strong>dependently of <strong>the</strong> architectural status of<br />
<strong>the</strong> patio <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong> burial was placed.<br />
This lack of association of grave goods<br />
with elite patio burials suggests ei<strong>the</strong>r that<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals were not always buried <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
patios <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y lived, or that burial<br />
treatments varied accord<strong>in</strong>g to different<br />
criteria than did <strong>the</strong> quality of patio<br />
architecture. Some parts of this analysis<br />
divide burials <strong>in</strong>to those found <strong>in</strong> elite<br />
patios and those found <strong>in</strong> commoner patios.<br />
This division is only for <strong>the</strong> purpose of<br />
elucidat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> similarities and differences<br />
between burials <strong>in</strong> commoner and elite<br />
patios, and is not meant to imply that <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> each category were<br />
necessarily members of that social status<br />
category.
WANKA II AND III BURIAL POPULATIONS<br />
The burial population <strong>in</strong>cludes comparable<br />
numbers of <strong>in</strong>dividuals from both periods,<br />
from both elite and commoner patios, and<br />
of both sexes. However, because elite patio<br />
groups comprise only a small fraction of all<br />
patios, <strong>the</strong> burial population is disproportionately<br />
weighted <strong>in</strong> favor of burials from<br />
elite patios as compared with <strong>the</strong> entire<br />
Wanka burial population.<br />
Because of <strong>the</strong> small size of this burial<br />
population, <strong>the</strong> demographic data should be<br />
taken as suggestive only. Table 17 divides<br />
<strong>the</strong> Wanka II and Wanka III population by<br />
age, sex, period, and patio status. Figures<br />
70 and 71 illustrate some of this <strong>in</strong>formation<br />
Appendix 1: Human Burials Analysis<br />

as age-at-death/sex pyramids. Because<br />
most of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals of determ<strong>in</strong>ate sex<br />
are from Wanka III, <strong>the</strong> Wanka II figure<br />
does not discrim<strong>in</strong>ate between males and<br />
females. These figures represent distributions<br />
of ages at death, and are not<br />
directly comparable to age/sex pyramids<br />
based on census data.<br />
The age-at-death pyramids clearly<br />
illustrate <strong>the</strong> small deviations of <strong>the</strong> burial<br />
populations from <strong>the</strong> ideal smooth profile.<br />
These deviations can be attributed to <strong>the</strong><br />
small sizes of <strong>the</strong> excavated populations.<br />
The Wanka III figure shows that <strong>the</strong>re is<br />
virtually no difference <strong>in</strong> age at death<br />
between males and females. Prelim<strong>in</strong>ary<br />

suggests that males <strong>in</strong> Wanka III ate more<br />
maize than did females, but this dietary<br />
difference does not seem to have strongly<br />
affected male and female mortality rates.<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong>re are virtually equal numbers of<br />
adult males and adult females, <strong>the</strong>re was<br />
probably also little difference <strong>in</strong> overall<br />
<strong>in</strong>fant and juvenile mortality between males<br />
and females. The figures also show that <strong>the</strong><br />
excavated Wanka II and III populations<br />
seem to have ra<strong>the</strong>r different distributions of<br />
ages at death. This pattern is clearer when<br />
<strong>the</strong> data are recast as survivorship curves.<br />
The limited data suggest that <strong>the</strong>re<br />
may have been a significant drop <strong>in</strong><br />
mortality rates <strong>in</strong> Wanka III. Figure 72<br />
illustrates <strong>the</strong> survivorship curves for Wanka<br />
II and Wanka III <strong>in</strong>dividuals, and for <strong>the</strong> two<br />
populations comb<strong>in</strong>ed. As suggested by <strong>the</strong><br />
age-at-death pyramids (figs. 70-71), <strong>the</strong> age<br />
Appendix 1: Human Burials Analysis<br />
112<br />
structures of <strong>the</strong> two periods appear to be<br />
quite different. Figure 73 shows <strong>the</strong> same<br />
two survivorship curves compared with <strong>the</strong><br />
best-fitt<strong>in</strong>g stable population models from<br />
Weiss (1973). The survivorship curve for <strong>the</strong><br />
Wanka III <strong>in</strong>dividuals corresponds closely to<br />
Weiss's stable population model 25-55, which<br />
is with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> range he cites as be<strong>in</strong>g typical<br />
of pre<strong>in</strong>dustrial societies (Weiss 1973:48-51).<br />
The good fit suggests that <strong>the</strong> burial<br />
population reflects <strong>the</strong> survivorship of a<br />
population.<br />
The survivorship curve for <strong>the</strong> Wanka<br />
II burials, however, corresponds to Weiss'<br />
stable population model 15-30, which<br />
features <strong>the</strong> highest juvenile and adult<br />
mortalities that he calculates. Weiss does<br />
not cite any anthropological or archaeological<br />
populations with mortality rates this<br />
high. Weiss (1975:54-55) argues elsewhere<br />
Figure 72. Survivorship curves for Wanka II, Wanka III, and both periods comb<strong>in</strong>ed.
<strong>Archaeological</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Research</strong>, <strong>Upper</strong> <strong>Mantaro</strong>, Peru<br />
that <strong>the</strong> effects of sporadic events, such as<br />
epidemics or warfare, are strongly and<br />
quickly damped out <strong>in</strong> burial populations, so<br />
a more cont<strong>in</strong>uous cause for <strong>the</strong> unusually<br />
high Wanka II mortality rates is required.<br />
It is possible that burial practices were<br />
significantly different <strong>in</strong> Wanka II than <strong>in</strong><br />
Wanka III, such that older juveniles and<br />
older adults but not <strong>in</strong>fants and young<br />
adults, were selectively buried outside <strong>the</strong><br />
residential sett<strong>in</strong>gs. Such an unlikely burial<br />
practice would account for <strong>the</strong> observed<br />
Wanka II age-at-death distribution. However,<br />
one might expect o<strong>the</strong>r changes <strong>in</strong><br />
burial practices to accompany such a strong<br />
shift <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> location of burials. There may<br />
be some changes <strong>in</strong> burial practices over<br />
time, but <strong>the</strong>y are not clear or strong.<br />
A more likely explanation is that <strong>the</strong><br />
113<br />
Wanka II populations, liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> dense, walled,<br />
hilltop settlements under conditions of<br />
<strong>in</strong>tense <strong>in</strong>tersettlement hostility, were<br />
severely stressed and suffered from unusually<br />
high mortality rates. When <strong>the</strong> Inka<br />
pacified <strong>the</strong> region and resettled much of<br />
<strong>the</strong> populace <strong>in</strong>to lower altitude agricultural<br />
sites, <strong>the</strong> stress was relieved and mortality<br />
rates dropped to more normal levels.<br />
The skeletal pathologies of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
excavated <strong>in</strong> 1983 show no <strong>in</strong>dication<br />
of long-term nutritional stress or unusual<br />
prevalence of trauma <strong>in</strong> Wanka II. The<br />
skeletal evidence cannot confirm or reject<br />
<strong>the</strong> presence of contagious disease encouraged<br />
by dense settlement and poor<br />
sanitation as <strong>the</strong> cause of <strong>the</strong> high mortality<br />
rates <strong>in</strong> Wanka II.<br />
The survivorship curve <strong>in</strong> figure 74<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicates that <strong>the</strong>re was probably no<br />
important difference <strong>in</strong> mortality rates<br />
between <strong>in</strong>dividuals buried <strong>in</strong> elite and<br />
commoner patios.<br />
BURIAL PRACTICES<br />
About 80 percent (42/53) of <strong>the</strong> burials<br />
were found <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> floor or subfloor fill of<br />
habitation structures. Roughly 17 percent<br />
(9/53) were <strong>in</strong> open patio space, ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong><br />
cultural fill or midden deposits. The<br />
rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g two burials (3 <strong>in</strong>dividuals) were<br />
postoccupation <strong>in</strong>terments <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> rubble of<br />
collapsed structures. All <strong>the</strong> burials <strong>in</strong><br />
commoner patios are located <strong>in</strong>side<br />
structures, while one-third of <strong>the</strong> burials <strong>in</strong><br />
elite patios are found <strong>in</strong> open patio areas.<br />
This feature is one of <strong>the</strong> few apparent<br />
differences between burials <strong>in</strong> elite and<br />
commoner patios. Burial <strong>in</strong> open patio<br />

space does not seem to have been related to<br />
age, sex, or grave goods. There was no<br />
particular orientation or special treatment<br />
for patio burials. Table 16 summarizes <strong>the</strong><br />
locations of burials by period and patio<br />
status.<br />
Burial pits were visible <strong>in</strong> only ten<br />
cases, and <strong>the</strong> stratigraphically significant<br />
top surfaces of <strong>the</strong> pits were poorly def<strong>in</strong>ed.<br />
Many burial pits were def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> part by<br />
bedrock, and four were bordered by rocks<br />
or limestone slabs set <strong>in</strong> place. The wall fall<br />
burials appeared to be <strong>in</strong> crude stone<br />
chambers.<br />
Most primary <strong>in</strong>dividuals (about 85%) were<br />
buried <strong>in</strong> a fully flexed position. Many of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se were flexed extremely tightly,<br />
strongly suggest<strong>in</strong>g b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> corpse or<br />
mummy bundl<strong>in</strong>g. Ano<strong>the</strong>r 10 percent were<br />
buried with legs flexed but arms extended,<br />

generally alongside <strong>the</strong> torso. Some of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se were also very tightly flexed. Three<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals <strong>in</strong> two structures (J59=1-1 and<br />
J7=3-1) were <strong>in</strong>terred <strong>in</strong> vertical, seated<br />
positions <strong>in</strong>side structures, with <strong>the</strong>ir backs<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st <strong>the</strong> wall.<br />
Individuals buried <strong>in</strong>side structures<br />
were generally placed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> structure floor<br />
or subfloor fill close to <strong>the</strong> wall and parallel<br />
to it. Few burials extended more than 100<br />
cm from <strong>the</strong> wall, and many were directly<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st it, fac<strong>in</strong>g up, down, to ei<strong>the</strong>r side,<br />
toward or away from <strong>the</strong> wall. This<br />
placement suggests that <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
were wrapped as mummy bundles and <strong>the</strong><br />
position of <strong>the</strong> body <strong>in</strong>side <strong>the</strong> bundle could<br />
not be discerned. Burials were clearly not<br />
located accord<strong>in</strong>g to compass directions or<br />
to <strong>the</strong> position of <strong>the</strong> structure's door.<br />
Placement of <strong>the</strong> burial along <strong>the</strong> wall was<br />
evidently determ<strong>in</strong>ed primarily by <strong>the</strong><br />
location of sufficient fill above <strong>the</strong> irregular<br />
bedrock. Secondary burials were placed<br />
<strong>in</strong>side structures and <strong>in</strong> patio space <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
same manner as primary burials.<br />
Not all excavated patios produced<br />
burials. While <strong>the</strong> five patios fully excavated<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1982 did have burials, only 16 of<br />
<strong>the</strong> 25 patios partially excavated <strong>in</strong> 1983<br />
had burials. This discrepancy may be an<br />
artifact of <strong>the</strong> sampl<strong>in</strong>g strategy, or it may<br />
115<br />
suggest that some patios were used for<br />
burials while o<strong>the</strong>rs were not.<br />
The strongly clustered distribution of<br />
some unusual dental and skeletal traits that<br />
may be genetically determ<strong>in</strong>ed suggests that<br />
at least some <strong>in</strong>dividuals buried <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same<br />
patio may have been genetically related.<br />
There are seven occurrences of shovelshaped<br />
<strong>in</strong>cisors among <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
excavated <strong>in</strong> 1983. Three patios each<br />
conta<strong>in</strong>ed two <strong>in</strong>dividuals with shovelshaped<br />
<strong>in</strong>cisors, one patio conta<strong>in</strong>ed one<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividual with shovel-shaped <strong>in</strong>cisors, and<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g twelve patios with burials,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re were no <strong>in</strong>dividuals with shovel-shaped<br />
<strong>in</strong>cisors. Similarly, occurrences of sutural<br />
bones tend to be concentrated <strong>in</strong> particular<br />
patios and even particular multiple burials,<br />
ra<strong>the</strong>r than dispersed throughout <strong>the</strong> excavated<br />
areas. Sutural bones may or may not<br />
have a genetic component (see appendix 2<br />
for details).<br />
About 72 percent of all burials conta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
only a s<strong>in</strong>gle <strong>in</strong>dividual. Most of <strong>the</strong><br />
rema<strong>in</strong>der conta<strong>in</strong>ed two or three <strong>in</strong>dividuals.<br />
Table 18 and figure 75 summarize<br />
<strong>the</strong> distributions of s<strong>in</strong>gle and multiple<br />
burials. The <strong>in</strong>dividuals <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> small-size,<br />
multiple burials are typical of <strong>the</strong> general<br />
population <strong>in</strong> age and sex distributions, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>y are not differentiated by grave goods<br />

difference <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> frequency or nature of<br />
small-size, multiple burials between elite<br />
and commoner patios or between Wanka II<br />
and Wanka III.<br />
In Wanka III, however, <strong>the</strong>re were two<br />
large-size, multiple primary burials. One, <strong>in</strong><br />
commoner patio structure J54=10-1, conta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
seven <strong>in</strong>dividuals, one of whom had<br />
five gold, copper, and lead objects on his<br />
chest. The chest cavities of <strong>the</strong>se<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals were without dirt, suggest<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>the</strong>y were buried <strong>in</strong> was<br />
not used after <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>in</strong>terment; <strong>the</strong> rich<br />
grave goods suggest that <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
might not have lived <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> commoner patio<br />
<strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y were buried.<br />

burial, found <strong>in</strong> elite patio structure J54=7-<br />

1, conta<strong>in</strong>ed eight <strong>in</strong>dividuals and some<br />
modest grave goods. The structure appears<br />
to have been reused after <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terments for<br />
some unusual, perhaps ritual, purpose. (See<br />
<strong>the</strong> section on Marca for details.)<br />
Males and females and most age<br />
categories are represented <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se largesize,<br />
multiple burials. The age and sex<br />
distributions do not differ <strong>in</strong> any systematic<br />
way from those of <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> popula-<br />
tion. The practice of <strong>in</strong>terr<strong>in</strong>g several<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals <strong>in</strong> s<strong>in</strong>gle burials persisted <strong>in</strong>to<br />
Wanka IV, as <strong>in</strong>dicated by <strong>the</strong> five<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals buried toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong> J2=701.<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong> multiple burials from<br />
Wanka III and IV, <strong>the</strong>re are two earlier<br />
deposits of bone represent<strong>in</strong>g numerous<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals. The large multiple secondary<br />
burial of some seven <strong>in</strong>dividuals <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>
<strong>Archaeological</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Research</strong>, <strong>Upper</strong> <strong>Mantaro</strong>, Peru<br />
Wanka II elite structure J41=8-1 may or may<br />
not be similar to <strong>the</strong> later multiple burials.<br />
Some of <strong>the</strong> long bones <strong>in</strong> this burial were<br />
neatly bundled or stacked toge<strong>the</strong>r with two<br />
crania, while o<strong>the</strong>rs were tossed <strong>in</strong> carelessly.<br />
Associated with <strong>the</strong> rema<strong>in</strong>s were<br />
seven silver disks (possibly represent<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gle item), a bone p<strong>in</strong>, and a perforated<br />
stone discoid. Although <strong>the</strong> burial was close<br />
to <strong>the</strong> surface, <strong>the</strong> bones were <strong>in</strong> very good<br />
condition, suggest<strong>in</strong>g that this may be a<br />
postoccupation <strong>in</strong>terment. A dense deposit<br />
of completely disarticulated bones represent<strong>in</strong>g<br />
up to seven <strong>in</strong>dividuals was found <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Wanka II structure J7=2-1. The bones<br />
may have been redeposited un<strong>in</strong>tentionally<br />
as fill ra<strong>the</strong>r than as a secondary burial and<br />
are not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> any analyses.<br />
The large-size, multiple burials could<br />
reflect epidemics result<strong>in</strong>g from European<br />
contact, or <strong>the</strong>y could represent warfare,<br />
special burial practices, or some more<br />
ord<strong>in</strong>ary event. Both of <strong>the</strong> large primary<br />
Wanka III multiple burials were found at<br />
Marca (J54), suggest<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong>y might be<br />
due to <strong>the</strong> same cause, perhaps one of <strong>the</strong><br />
historically documented epidemics that<br />
swept <strong>the</strong> region before and after <strong>the</strong><br />
Spanish conquest.<br />
Many more secondary burials come<br />
from Wanka II contexts than from Wanka III.<br />
About 60 percent of all Wanka II <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />
were found <strong>in</strong> secondary burials, while only<br />
13 percent of <strong>the</strong> Wanka III <strong>in</strong>dividuals were<br />
Table 19. Distribution of Secondary and Primary Burials<br />
117<br />
found <strong>in</strong> secondary burials. This decl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong><br />
secondary burial may <strong>in</strong>dicate a change <strong>in</strong><br />
burial practices <strong>in</strong> Wanka III such that fewer<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals were reburied, disturbed, or<br />
buried after substantial decomposition than<br />
had been <strong>the</strong> case <strong>in</strong> Wanka II.<br />
Alternatively, <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g may suggest that<br />
secondary burials <strong>in</strong> Wanka III times were<br />
more often placed outside residential areas.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>ally, <strong>the</strong> larger proportion of secondary<br />
burials <strong>in</strong> Wanka II sites may simply be due<br />
to <strong>the</strong> earlier burials be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> ground<br />
longer and so be<strong>in</strong>g exposed to more<br />
disturbance by subsequent uses of <strong>the</strong> sites.<br />
This last explanation would be especially<br />
likely if a disproportionate fraction of <strong>the</strong><br />
Wanka III burials were from <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong><br />
Wanka III period or <strong>the</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of Wanka<br />
IV, when epidemics swept <strong>the</strong> region and<br />
sites were quickly abandoned. These late<br />
burials would have been subject to little<br />
subsequent disturbance because <strong>the</strong> sites<br />
were abandoned and <strong>the</strong> regional population<br />
was significantly reduced. Table 19<br />
summarizes <strong>the</strong> distributions of primary and<br />
secondary burials.<br />
About 54 percent (49/90) of all <strong>in</strong>dividuals,<br />
both primary and secondary, were<br />
buried <strong>in</strong> pits conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g one or more objects<br />
or grave goods. In multiple burials <strong>the</strong><br />
goods were sometimes clearly associated<br />
with a s<strong>in</strong>gle <strong>in</strong>dividual; <strong>in</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r cases, <strong>the</strong><br />
goods could perta<strong>in</strong> to any or several of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals. In this analysis, such<br />
questionable goods are assigned equally to<br />

recovered from <strong>the</strong> soil immediately around<br />
<strong>the</strong> rema<strong>in</strong>s but <strong>in</strong> no particular anatomical<br />
relationship to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividual. The number<br />
of grave goods is not clearly related to elite<br />
or commoner patio status, primary or<br />
secondary burial, or sex. The fraction of<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals buried with grave goods is almost<br />
identical <strong>in</strong> Wanka II and Wanka III. Table<br />
20 and figure 76 summarize and illustrate<br />
<strong>the</strong> distributions of grave goods <strong>in</strong> burial<br />
pits. Older <strong>in</strong>dividuals are more likely to be<br />
buried <strong>in</strong> pits with one or more grave goods<br />
than are younger <strong>in</strong>dividuals, as illustrated<br />
<strong>in</strong> figure 77. Moreover, when goods are<br />
present, older <strong>in</strong>dividuals tend to be buried<br />
with more of <strong>the</strong>m than are younger <strong>in</strong>dividuals,<br />
as illustrated <strong>in</strong> figure 78. The latter<br />
pattern is not strong, probably <strong>in</strong> part<br />
because of <strong>the</strong> analytical strategy of<br />

<strong>in</strong> each multiple burial. Table 21<br />
summarizes <strong>the</strong> occurrences of grave goods<br />
by age ranges as used <strong>in</strong> this analysis.<br />
Because <strong>the</strong> population is so small, <strong>the</strong><br />
trends illustrated <strong>in</strong> figures 77 and 78 are<br />
based on comb<strong>in</strong>ed age categories. There<br />
are not enough <strong>in</strong>dividuals to compare <strong>the</strong><br />
distributions of grave goods by age <strong>in</strong> Wanka<br />
II and Wanka III. The overall pattern of<br />
association of grave goods with older <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />

primarily <strong>in</strong> elite patios. Twenty percent of<br />
all <strong>in</strong>dividuals buried <strong>in</strong> elite patios were<br />
treated this way compared with two percent<br />
of those <strong>in</strong> commoner patios. This association<br />
of sherds on <strong>the</strong> head with elite patios<br />
is <strong>the</strong> only noticeable difference between<br />
burials <strong>in</strong> commoner and elite patios o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
than <strong>the</strong> restriction of burials <strong>in</strong> open patio<br />
space to elite patios.<br />
Sherds on <strong>the</strong> head are somewhat more<br />
common <strong>in</strong> primary burials (12%, 7/57 <strong>in</strong>dividuals)<br />
than <strong>in</strong> secondary burials (6%, 2/33<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals ), probably because some or all<br />
of <strong>the</strong> secondary burials are disturbed or<br />
reburied such that any sherds orig<strong>in</strong>ally on<br />
<strong>the</strong> head of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dividual have been lost.<br />
Both of <strong>the</strong> secondary burials covered by<br />
sherds are <strong>in</strong>fants. There is no o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
pattern to sherds cover<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> head; <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are not associated with age, sex, o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

are counts of burial pits with <strong>the</strong> stated type of good and all o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
percentages are <strong>the</strong> fractions of <strong>the</strong> burial pits <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> column category that<br />
conta<strong>in</strong>ed that good. Sex is specified when <strong>the</strong> burial pit conta<strong>in</strong>ed one<br />

year old male was found with a collection<br />
of metal items on his chest: three copper<br />
disks, a packet of small lead lam<strong>in</strong>ae, and a<br />
piece of rolled repoussé gold sheet.<br />
There are several examples of paired<br />
items <strong>in</strong> two-piece grave lots, such as <strong>the</strong><br />
two bone implements with 83-B1, <strong>the</strong> two<br />
phyllite slabs with 83-B38, <strong>the</strong> two copper<br />
needles with 83-B40, and <strong>the</strong> two ceramic<br />
vessels with 83-B5. Larger grave lots tend<br />
to be made up of several sets of similar<br />
items, such as <strong>the</strong> three copper needles, six<br />
ceramic vessels, and three bone implements<br />
with 83-B3, as well as <strong>the</strong> five or six<br />
camelid mandibles and five worked stone<br />
items with <strong>the</strong> secondary burial <strong>in</strong> J7=3-51.<br />
The homogeneity of goods with<strong>in</strong> grave lots<br />
and <strong>the</strong> heterogeneity between <strong>the</strong>m<br />
suggests that <strong>the</strong> items buried with each<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividual may have been expressions by <strong>the</strong><br />
survivors of ideas or roles specific to <strong>the</strong><br />
deceased <strong>in</strong>dividual, ra<strong>the</strong>r than ideas<br />
perta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g to generalized notions concern<strong>in</strong>g<br />
death for which <strong>the</strong> same assortments of<br />
goods could have served for all <strong>in</strong>dividuals.<br />
Most grave lots conta<strong>in</strong>ed one to three<br />
items, but <strong>the</strong>re were a few notable<br />
exceptions. The 35 to 45 year old Wanka III<br />
woman 83-B3 from elite patio J2=1-1 was<br />
buried with six ceramic vessels, three small<br />
bone implements, and some sort of pla<strong>in</strong><br />
woven textile ga<strong>the</strong>red around her throat<br />
and preserved by three copper needles<br />
p<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g it toge<strong>the</strong>r. She lay on limestone<br />
slabs, and her head was covered with large<br />
sherds. The 25 to 30 year old Wanka III<br />
man 83-B43 <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> large primary multiple<br />
burial <strong>in</strong> commoner patio J54=10-1 was<br />
buried with three copper disks, a packet of<br />
small lead lam<strong>in</strong>ae, and a gold ornament on<br />
his chest. The two Wanka III adults, 82-<br />
B12 and 82-B13, and two or three children<br />
were buried <strong>in</strong> commoner patio J54=2-1<br />
with a stone discoid, a lead ball, a copper<br />
fragment, two shell fragments, two manos,<br />
a pestle, three bone implements, a stone<br />
hoe, and two gu<strong>in</strong>ea pig crania. The whole<br />
burial was covered by a phyllite slab.<br />
The burial of <strong>in</strong>dividuals with large<br />
Appendix 1: Human Burials Analysis<br />
122<br />
grave lots persisted <strong>in</strong>to Wanka IV. In <strong>the</strong><br />
triple burial <strong>in</strong> J2=701, <strong>the</strong> male 77-B6 had<br />
sherds on his head, colonial beads around his<br />
neck, and a shell fragment nearby. Two<br />
groundstone items, an iron knife, a worked<br />
bone implement, a copper axe, two large<br />
copper and lead balls with suspension holes,<br />
a copper clip, a tumi-shaped ornament, and<br />
sherds of several reconstructable vessels<br />
could be associated with any of <strong>the</strong> three<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>ally, <strong>the</strong> secondary rema<strong>in</strong>s of <strong>the</strong><br />
seven <strong>in</strong>dividuals, 79-B1 through 79-B5,<br />
which were stacked and jumbled <strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle<br />
pit <strong>in</strong> elite patio J41=8-1, were buried with<br />
seven silver disks and a perforated stone<br />
discoid. If <strong>the</strong> silver disks are <strong>the</strong> rema<strong>in</strong>s<br />
of a s<strong>in</strong>gle valuable item, a textile with<br />
silver bangles sewn on it, for example, <strong>the</strong>n<br />
this grave lot is not unusually rich.<br />
Except for this strange secondary<br />
Wanka II burial, all three large precolonial<br />
grave lots are from Wanka III. This<br />
association may suggest a change <strong>in</strong> beliefs<br />
regard<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> afterlife or <strong>in</strong> economic,<br />
social, ritual, or o<strong>the</strong>r stratification <strong>in</strong><br />
Wanka III. However, <strong>the</strong> data set is too<br />
small to <strong>in</strong>fer secure conclusions.<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong> comparatively<br />
complete burials, <strong>the</strong>re were n<strong>in</strong>e burials of<br />
isolated, fully or partially articulated body<br />
parts represent<strong>in</strong>g n<strong>in</strong>e or ten <strong>in</strong>dividuals.<br />
These f<strong>in</strong>ds probably do not represent <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>terments of <strong>in</strong>dividuals, but ra<strong>the</strong>r some<br />
ritual, surgical, or o<strong>the</strong>r practices. As such,<br />
<strong>the</strong>y are not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> any of <strong>the</strong> analyses<br />
<strong>in</strong> this appendix.<br />
In Wanka II <strong>the</strong>re were five such<br />
partial burials: an articulated leg and foot <strong>in</strong><br />
a midden <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> open patio space of elite<br />
patio J7=7, an adult's feet and hands under<br />
and <strong>in</strong>side <strong>the</strong> door of commoner structure<br />
J41=4-1, an <strong>in</strong>fant's torso and arms <strong>in</strong><br />
commoner structure J41=5-2, a cranium and<br />
mandible <strong>in</strong> structure J41=6-1, and an<br />
associated arm and vertebral column with<br />
sacrum <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> open patio space of J7=3. The<br />
arm and vertebral column may represent
one or two <strong>in</strong>dividuals.<br />
<strong>Archaeological</strong> <strong>Field</strong> <strong>Research</strong>, <strong>Upper</strong> <strong>Mantaro</strong>, Peru<br />
In Wanka III, <strong>the</strong>re were bones from<br />
one or two feet of a child <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> open patio<br />
space of <strong>the</strong> elite patio J2=3, and three<br />
isolated crania <strong>in</strong> commoner structure<br />
J54=9-1. This structure also conta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
seven subfloor burials, one of which was a<br />
dismembered, fragmentary, and partially<br />
burned adult female.<br />
Three burials conta<strong>in</strong>ed burned human<br />
bone. The dismembered female and <strong>the</strong><br />
partial burials of a sp<strong>in</strong>al column and an<br />
arm described above were partially burned.<br />
The third partially burned <strong>in</strong>dividual was<br />
<strong>in</strong>fant 83-B25 found <strong>in</strong> a triple primary<br />
burial <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Wanka II structure J41=6-1.<br />
Fragments of carbonized cloth were<br />
preserved among <strong>the</strong> pieces of <strong>the</strong> burned<br />
cranium. None of <strong>the</strong>se cases suggests<br />
<strong>in</strong>tentional cremation. The bone was<br />
blackened and sometimes broken up, but<br />
never cracked or charred white.<br />
The burial data raise an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g<br />
question concern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> lengths of<br />
occupation of sites and patios <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> two<br />
periods. Tak<strong>in</strong>g all <strong>the</strong> excavated structure<br />
and patio areas toge<strong>the</strong>r, approximately <strong>the</strong><br />
same number of <strong>in</strong>dividuals was recovered<br />
per square meter excavated <strong>in</strong> Wanka II and<br />
Wanka III contexts. In 672 m 2 of Wanka II<br />
deposits excavated <strong>in</strong> 1982 and 1983, 37<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals were unear<strong>the</strong>d, or 0.055/m 2 . In<br />
730 m2 of Wanka III deposits excavated <strong>in</strong><br />
1982 and 1983, 45 <strong>in</strong>dividuals were<br />
dis<strong>in</strong>terred, or 0.062/m 2 .<br />
123<br />
Current radiocarbon dates (see chap.<br />
4) suggest that Wanka II lasted from A.D.<br />
1350-1460, or about 110 years, while Wanka<br />
III is known from historical sources to have<br />
lasted only about 70 years. Wanka II was<br />
thought <strong>the</strong>refore to be 1.5 times as long as<br />
Wanka III, yet Wanka II patios actually have<br />
a slightly lower density of burials.<br />
There are several possible explanations<br />
for <strong>the</strong> absence of higher burial<br />
density <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> supposedly longer Wanka II<br />
period. Burial practices may have changed<br />
from a pattern of large-scale burial outside<br />
patios or <strong>in</strong> unexcavated chullpas <strong>in</strong> Wanka<br />
II to burial mostly with<strong>in</strong> patios <strong>in</strong> Wanka III.<br />
This explanation postulates a massive<br />
change <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> numbers of <strong>in</strong>dividuals buried<br />
outside patios, from close to 70 percent <strong>in</strong><br />
Wanka II to none <strong>in</strong> Wanka III. It seems<br />
unlikely that such a major change would not<br />
be accompanied by o<strong>the</strong>r noticeable changes<br />
<strong>in</strong> burial practices.<br />
More people may have lived <strong>in</strong> Wanka<br />
III patios than <strong>in</strong> Wanka II patios. This<br />
possibility is unlikely, however, s<strong>in</strong>ce Wanka<br />
III patios have about <strong>the</strong> same density and<br />
absolute quantity of domestic refuse as do<br />
Wanka II patios.<br />
Most likely, however, Wanka III burial<br />
density may be <strong>in</strong>flated by unusually large<br />
numbers of <strong>in</strong>terments at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong><br />
period as a result of <strong>the</strong> epidemics that<br />
preceded and immediately followed <strong>the</strong><br />
Spanish conquest of <strong>the</strong> region.
