          Abstract

          The issue of late Huaracane contemporaneity with Wari and Tiwanaku colonies in Moquegua valley has been particularly vexing for researchers. No currently published radiocarbon dates can confirm that Huaracane settlements in the valley were occupied after AD 340. Yet until recently, no dates were taken from domestic contexts. During the 2006 field season, eight new radiocarbon dates were taken from the Huaracane settlement of Yahuay Alta. The contexts for these dates and how they fit within the established regional chronology will be discussed. This research represents an important step towards understanding the relationship between indigenous Huaracane agriculturalists and Middle Horizon colonists.

          La problemática del asentamiento de Huaracane tardío, contemporáneo con colonias de Wari y Tiwanaku en el valle medio de Moquegua ha sido particularmente molesto para los investigadores. Ninguna de las fechas de radiocarbono publicadas actualmente han confirmado que los asentamientos Huaracane en el valle fueron ocupadas después de los 340 d.C. Aun hasta hace poco no se conocía ninguna datación proveniente de contextos domésticos. Durante la temporada de campo del año 2006, fueron tomadas ocho muestras desde contextos domésticos del sitio Huaracane de Yahuay Alta, con el propósito de afinar la cronología regional establecida. Por otro lado, esta investigación representa un paso importante hacia el entendimiento de la relación entre los agricultores locales de Huaracane y las colonias Tiwanaku y Wari.

          Cerro Baúl: A Wari Center on the Tiwanaku Frontier

          Andean scholars have long debated the nature of the relationship between two Middle Horizon (ca. A. D. 750-1000) Andean states; many assumed Tiwanaku dominated Wari and preceded Wari in time. Recent research at the Wari administrative center of Cerro Baúl in the only known region occupied by both states (the Moquegua Valley of southern Peru) indicates that Tiwanaku may not predate Wari in Moquegua and that, contrary to previous assertions, both states occupied the valley for the last three centuries of the Middle Horizon. In support of this position, I review recent excavations at Cerro Baúl. Then I present eight new 14C dates and summarize the evidence for two major construction episodes at Cerro Baúl. I interpret the local Wari construction chronology based on the 12 14C dates now available from excavation contexts and I suggest that the new data, in comparison with 24 published 14C dates from other Wari centers, support a later date for Middle Horizon 1B Wari expansion than previously postulated.

            Distant Colonies and Explosive Collapse: The Two Stages of the Tiwanaku Diaspora in the Osmore Drainage

            Bruce Owen (2005)
            The geographic expansion of Tiwanaku people and culture (cal A.D. 500–1150) in the south-central Andes can be viewed as a two-staged diaspora. This article defines and categorizes diasporas, suggests archaeological correlates and theoretical implications, and reconstructs the Tiwanaku diaspora. The first stage was a colonizing diaspora in the context of the functioning Tiwanaku state, limited to a few mid-elevation places such as the middle Osmore drainage near Moquegua and probably Cochabamba. The second stage was a much more extensive victim/refugee diaspora driven by the violent disintegration of the colonies around A.D. 1000, in conjunction with either the collapse of Tiwanaku or its radical reorientation by a militaristic elite. Second-stage diaspora populations that settled in sparsely populated areas such as the upper Osmore drainage or the Carumas–Calacoa region established dispersed, small, defensible villages. Those that settled among a larger or more established host population such as the Chiribaya in the coastal Osmore Valley integrated as a marked, lower-status minority. This explosive collapse suggests that Tiwanaku was composed of multiple groups whose differing interests could not be contained. Supporting evidence is drawn primarily from the Osmore drainage, especially the coastal segment. Se puede ver la extensión geográfica de la gente y cultura Tiwanaku (500–1150 d.C.) en los Andes sur-centrales como una diáspora de dos etapas. Este artículo define y clasifica diásporas, sugiera correlativos arqueológicos y consecuencias teóricas, y reconstruye la diáspora Tiwanakota. La primera etapa fue una diáspora colonizadora, en el contexto del estado Tiwanaku en marcha. Esta fue limitada a unos sitios de altura intermedia, como la cuenca media del Osmore cerca a Moquegua, y probablemente Cochabamba. La segunda etapa fue una diáspora mucho más extensa, del tipo víctima/refugiado. Fue impulsada por la desintegración violenta de las colonias alrededor de 1000 d.C., contemporáneo con el colapso de Tiwanaku o su reorientación radical por un élite militar. Poblaciones de la segunda etapa que se asentaron en áreas poco pobladas, como la cuenca superior del Osmore o la región de Carumas-Calacoa, establecieron aldeas pequeñas, dispersas, y defendibles. Los que se asentaron entre una población mayor o mejor establecida, como los Chiribaya en el Osmore costero, integraron como una minoría marcada, de menor estatus. Este colapso explosivo sugiere que Tiwanaku era compuesto de grupos múltiples cuyos intereses diversos no podían ser contenidos. Datos en apoyo provienen principalmente de la cuenca Osmore, especialmente el Osmore costero.
