Abstract

In this paper we present the results of two campaigns of survey in the Quebrada Orcón-Pacaybamba in the middle Chancay Valley. We also discuss the preliminary data produced from our fieldwork in terms of the local economy and site distribution for each of the different Preceramic stages on the Central Coast and in the highlands of Perú. We conclude by interpreting the evolution of several economic strategies employed by different groups occupying the Central Coast of Perú until the formation of stratified societies of the Preceramic Period.
