Las excavaciones del Proyecto Arqueológico Huaca 20 (1999 y 2001)

Abstract

The Excavations of Proyecto Arqueológico Huaca 20 (1999 and 2001 Seasons)

Archaeological research at the Huaca 20 site, part of the great Maranga complex, revealed a continuous occupational sequence from the late Early Intermediate Period through the beginning of the Middle Horizon. The occupations show functional variations, including residential and domestic uses -with significant changes in the orientation, techniques and materials of construction, as well as in the area irrigated by canals. Irrigation ditches were eventually filled in to accommodate a cemetery that contained several burials with Nievería style ceramics.
