With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Jerry D. Moore and a binational team of colleagues will conduct two seasons of archaeological research in the Tumbes region of far northern Peru, one of the least-studied regions in prehistoric South America. The research area is located on the modern "and historically contested" frontier between Peru and Ecuador. The prehistoric Tumbes region has been viewed as a marginal zone, peripheral to better understood ancient societies in the Central Andes and Ecuador. Preliminary research, however, has shown that Tumbes was enmeshed in long-distance exchange systems and political networks from circa CE 500 - 1500. Rather than a cultural backwater, the Tumbes region was in the center of a complex web of ancient political and economic interactions. In 2006 and 2007 eight months of fieldwork will result in the first extensive excavations of prehistoric architecture in the Tumbes region. The research is a comparative study of public and domestic architecture at two sites associated with the Late Garbanzal/Jambeli culture (ca. CE 500 - 1400), and two sites coeval with the intrusive Chimu Empire (CE 900 - 1470). Una de Gato is thought to be the seat of the Late Garbanzal/Jambeli chiefdom with four platform mounds interpreted as public architecture, perhaps chief's houses. El Porvenir is a Late Garbanzal/Jambeli hamlet, consisting of six housemounds grouped around a small plaza or open space. Santa Rosa appears to be a small, intrusive Chimu center consisting of three walled compounds. Loma Saavedra is a small hamlet with an upper level coeval with Chimu influence ca. CE 1450 - 1500 and a lower local occupation dating to ca. CE 1200 - 1450. Excavated data from these four sites will allow for testing five hypotheses relating to the organization of prehistoric Garbanzal/Jambeli settlements and society, strategies of Chimu statecraft in far northern Peru, the comparative use of architecture in Garbanzal/Jambeli and Chimu societies, and broad patterns in the political and social uses of architecture and the built environment in ancient societies. In turn, this research contributes to an emergent body of theory regarding power and the built environment. This research will result in new data and insights into the archaeology of Andean South America. The proposed archaeological research will significantly expand archaeological knowledge of far northern Peru; this is the most extensive program of research ever conducted in the Tumbes region. The investigations will clarify pivotal chronological issues, produce new archaeological data, and allow for significant insights into the relationships between political and social processes and the built environment in prehispanic Andean societies. Finally, the project represents an advance in archaeological approaches to ancient architecture.This investigation will result in broader impacts by integrating research and education. The research will involve undergraduate students from groups that have been historically underrepresented in the sciences and engineering. Undergraduates will be selected from California State University Dominguez Hills, a Hispanic-Serving Institution of Higher Education and a non-Ph.D.-granting institution with over 77.6% of its students from underrepresented groups. Further, an extensive dissemination program will communicate research results to audiences in the U.S., Peru and Ecuador. In coordination with the Instituto Nacional de Cultura and ministries of Tourism and Education, project staff will present public lectures, organize a small exhibit, arrange site visits for local teachers, and maintain a bilingual Web page. In addition to reporting on scientific results, this project contributes to the Peruvian and Ecuadorian publics' understanding of their common cultural heritage.

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，Jerry D.摩尔和一个由同事组成的两国小组将在秘鲁远北方的通贝斯地区进行两个季节的考古研究，该地区是史前南美洲研究最少的地区之一。 研究区位于秘鲁和厄瓜多尔之间的现代“和历史上有争议的”边界。史前的通贝斯地区一直被视为边缘地带，处于安第斯山脉中部和厄瓜多尔更好理解的古代社会的外围。然而，初步研究表明，通贝斯在大约公元500 - 1500年之间就陷入了长途交换系统和政治网络。 通贝斯地区不是一个文化死水，而是一个复杂的古代政治和经济互动网络的中心。在2006年和2007年，为期8个月的实地考察将在通贝斯地区对史前建筑进行首次大规模挖掘。 该研究是对与晚期Garbanzal/Jambeli文化（约1000年）相关的两个地点的公共和家庭建筑的比较研究。公元500 - 1400年），和两个网站与入侵的奇穆帝国（公元900 - 1470年）同时代。 Una de Gato被认为是晚期Garbanzal/Jambeli酋长领地的所在地，有四个平台土丘被解释为公共建筑，可能是酋长的房屋。El Porvenir是一个晚期Garbanzal/Jambeli哈姆雷特的小村庄，由六个围绕着一个小广场或开放空间的狗群组成。圣罗莎似乎是一个小的，侵入奇穆中心组成的三个围墙化合物。 洛马萨维德拉是一个小哈姆雷特与上层coeval与Chimu的影响约。公元1450 - 1500年和一个较低的地方职业可追溯到约。CE 1200 - 1450。 从这四个地点挖掘的数据将允许测试有关的史前Garbanzal/Jambeli定居点和社会的组织，在遥远的北方秘鲁的Chimu治国方略，在Garbanzal/Jambeli和Chimu社会的建筑的比较使用，以及在古代社会的建筑和建筑环境的政治和社会用途的广泛模式的五个假设。反过来，这项研究有助于形成一个关于权力和建筑环境的新兴理论体系。这项研究将为南美洲安第斯考古学提供新的数据和见解。拟议中的考古研究将大大扩大北方秘鲁的考古知识;这是有史以来在通贝斯地区进行的最广泛的研究计划。这些调查将澄清关键的年代问题，产生新的考古数据，并允许对政治和社会进程与前西班牙安第斯社会的建筑环境之间的关系有重要的见解。最后，该项目代表了古建筑考古方法的进步。通过整合研究和教育，该调查将产生更广泛的影响。 这项研究将涉及来自历史上在科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的本科生。本科生将从加州州立大学多明格斯山，高等教育的西班牙裔服务机构和非博士选择-该学院的学生中有77.6%以上来自代表性不足的群体。此外，一项广泛的传播计划将向美国的受众传达研究成果，秘鲁和厄瓜多尔。 项目工作人员将与国家文化研究所、旅游部和教育部协调，举办公开讲座，组织一个小型展览，安排当地教师实地参观，并维持一个双语网页。除了报告科学成果外，该项目还有助于秘鲁和厄瓜多尔公众了解其共同的文化遗产。
