Abstract

This paper presents new evidence recovered from recent archaeological research at Cerro Blanco. These materials show that food and beverage consumption ceremonies were part of the variety of activities carried out at many Formative Period centers. The analysis of the data from the site allows us to discuss the social organization tied to feasting behavior and helps explain the interest in the acquisition of foreign items.
