Campos de cultivo prehispánicos en la Pampa de Chaparrí

Abstract

Prehispanic Farming Fields in the Pampa de Chaparrí

Walled fields on the North Coast were agricultural installations created in the late prehispanic period. In historical accounts, they are associated with Chimu and Inka rulers or their families. Despite their importance to understanding late prehispanic economies, archaeological examples have not been reported to date. Research on walled fields in the Pampa de Chaparri (Ferreñafe province, department of Lambayeque) focused on construction techniques and yield archaeological insights into the management of these agricultural features within a regional agricultural system.
