Ceramic Production and Distribution in the Chavín Sphere of Influence (North-Central Andes)
No Customer Reviews
This pioneering study by Isabelle Druc offers a first important step towards characterizing and proveniencing the ceramics utilized within the Chav?n sphere of influence. Combining petrographic analysis and X-ray fluorescence, Druc is able to distinguish between the ceramics produced at Chav?n de Hu?ntar and those created at four other areas linked to the Chav?n center. This analysis produces compelling evidence of long-distance transport of pottery during the Chav?n horizon. The demonstration that a significant amount of pottery from Chav?n de Hu?ntar was produced elsewhere complements earlier stylistic analyses from the site. It also reinforces prior findings concerning the consumption of exotic materials by the residents of Chav?n de Hu?ntar during the Early Horizon. Finally, this study offers not only a contribution to our understanding of Chav?n civilization, but also provides an instructive case study highlighting the potential of pan-regional characterization and provenience studies for archaeological ceramics.
