Under the supervision of Dr. Tom Dillehay, John Warner will undertake an archaeological project that emphasizes mapping, surface collection, and limited excavation at the site of Canoncillo, Peru for the purpose of assisting in his graduate student training and completing his Ph.D. Canoncillo (also known as Je-205) is located on the harsh and ever-changing desert north coast of Peru within the Jequetepeque Valley and is a complex site that was inhabited intermittently by numerous culture groups for thousands of years. While very little archaeological work has been conducted at Je-205 to date, the site is known to have been densely occupied, intensively irrigated, and, at times, spatially organized in an urban configuration. Mr. Warner's work will focus on understanding the social, political, and economic utilization of the landscape and architectural space within both the urban and non-urban areas of this region.This research will have a broader impact on archaeological understanding of alternate routes to urbanization in preindustrial societies not only on the north coast of Peru, but in the greater Andean region and beyond. At the local level, this project will identify specific environmental, political, social, and economic factors that shaped Canoncillo's long-term trajectory of development, periodic abandonment, reoccupation, and spatial transformation. Regionally, the processes responsible for Je-205's emergence can be compared to published results found at nearby sites in an effort to identify pan-regional trends in urbanization and to interpret the role that external conquest may have played in the spatial, social, political, and economic reorganization of the north coast. On the broadest level possible, the results of the proposed work at Canoncillo will provide an important comparative data base of information that can be subsequently used to interpret cross-cultural trends in urbanization.This project is of particular intellectual merit because it will advance anthropological studies of how patterned changes in architectural form and function within the totality of a preindustrial urban landscape (including both the city center and its supporting hinterland) reflect broader shifts in political centralization, urban-rural relations, institutionalized agricultural production, intra-regional economic structures, as well as conquest and imperial incorporation. Furthermore, this research will contribute significantly to the archaeological analysis of urban power relations especially in regards to the spatial ramifications of imperial conquest and local resistance within a highly urbanized landscape. Ultimately, work at Canoncillo will provide a far more detailed long-term understanding of Latin American organizational principles and allow us to better understand the historical precedents behind the multitude of present-day Latin American urban configurations and how rural and urban populations have adapted to changes in their environment such as desertification and El Nino events - both of which are problems that continue to confront modern-day inhabitants of the Jequetepeque valley.

在Tom Dillehay博士的监督下，John Warner将进行一个考古项目，重点是在秘鲁的Canoncillo遗址进行绘图、表面收集和有限的挖掘，以协助他的研究生培训和完成博士学位。 Canoncillo（也被称为Je-205）位于恶劣和不断变化的沙漠北海岸的秘鲁内的Jequetepeque山谷，是一个复杂的网站，是居住间歇性的许多文化群体数千年。 虽然到目前为止，在Je-205进行的考古工作很少，但已知该遗址被密集占用，集中灌溉，有时在空间上组织成城市布局。 Warner先生的工作重点是了解该地区城市和非城市地区景观和建筑空间的社会、政治和经济利用，这项研究将对考古学了解前工业社会城市化的替代路线产生更广泛的影响，不仅在秘鲁北海岸，而且在大安第斯地区和其他地区。 在地方一级，该项目将确定具体的环境，政治，社会和经济因素，塑造了Canoncillo的长期发展轨迹，定期放弃，重新占用和空间转型。 在区域范围内，负责Je-205的出现的过程可以与在附近站点发现的已发表结果进行比较，以确定城市化的泛区域趋势，并解释外部征服可能在北海岸的空间，社会，政治和经济重组中发挥的作用。 在尽可能广泛的层面上，在卡农西略进行的拟议工作的结果将提供一个重要的信息比较数据库，随后可用于解释城市化的跨文化趋势。该项目具有特别的智力价值，因为它将促进人类学研究，即在工业化前的城市景观中，建筑形式和功能的模式化变化是如何进行的（包括市中心及其支持腹地）反映了政治集中化、城乡关系、制度化农业生产、区域内经济结构以及征服和帝国合并等方面更广泛的转变。 此外，这项研究将大大有助于城市权力关系的考古学分析，特别是在高度城市化的景观中帝国征服和地方抵抗的空间影响方面。 最后，在Canoncillo的工作将提供对拉丁美洲组织原则的更详细的长期了解，并使我们能够更好地了解当今拉丁美洲众多城市配置背后的历史先例，以及农村和城市人口如何适应其环境的变化，如荒漠化和厄尔尼诺事件-这两个问题仍然面临现代-杰克特佩克山谷的日间居民。
