Under the direction of Dr. Brian Billman, Evan Surridge will excavate and analyze the remains of residential dwellings at the Moche period sites of Ciudad de Dios and Quebrada del Leon which are located in the Moche Valley, northern Peru. These are rural sites located in the hinterlands of two of the region's most important urban centers during the Middle to Late Moche phases (~AD 400-700). Mr. Surridge's research will analyze ceramic and stone tool remains to examine how rural households' differential access to mass-produced goods from urban centers may have structured economic difference and inequality.The northern Peruvian coast is widely acknowledged as an important anthropological case study in political centralization and urbanization, but surprisingly little is known about the role of the region's large rural majority in these processes. This project approaches Moche phase urban-hinterland integration by examining how centrally-produced goods were used in household and community economies. Mr. Surridge will conduct small scale excavations and analyses of collections from six to eight rural households. Using architecture and pottery collections as proxy measures of wealth, the project will determine if wealth differences between households existed, and if so, whether these inequalities were correlated with access to mass-produced ritual goods. In order to understand variation in household economies, the project will also undertake a thorough analysis of the ceramic and stone tool materials used in household agriculture, food processing and serving, and craft production. Ultimately, Mr. Surridge will seek to correlate access to the social and cultural capital of ritual goods with unique economic practices. In this way, the research will examine how the political and religious symbolism of an emerging centralized polity affected the economic relationships and activities of participating populations.The broader impacts of the project include benefits for community involvement, education, and professional scholarship. Through a partnership with MOCHE Inc., Mr. Surridge will offer a series of public and school presentations in the Moche Valley communities of Ciudad de Dios and Quirihuac Viejo. These presentations will be conducted in tandem with the heritage preservation work of the 501c3 non-profit organization MOCHE Inc., and will seek to make the economic and educational potential of archaeological remains accessible to local stakeholders. Educational opportunities will also be available for undergraduate students from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Peru to work as volunteers and assistants in the excavation and laboratory phases, where they will be trained in field and laboratory methods. The research will provide data for Mr. Surridge's dissertation at UNC-Chapel Hill, and also generate collections for research by Peruvian and international graduate students. The project results will be shared with a scholarly audience through publications and professional presentations in English and Spanish, including submissions to peer-reviewed journals and publication of the resulting dissertation as a monograph.

在Brian Billman博士的指导下，Evan Surridge将挖掘和分析位于北方秘鲁莫什山谷的Ciudad de Dios和Quebrada del Leon的莫什时期住宅遗址的遗迹。这些都是位于该地区的两个最重要的城市中心在中期到后期莫切阶段（约公元400-700）的荒地农村网站。 萨里奇的研究将分析陶瓷和石器工具遗迹，以研究农村家庭从城市中心获得大规模生产的商品的差异，可能是如何构建经济差异和不平等的。秘鲁北方海岸被广泛认为是政治集中和城市化的重要人类学案例研究，但令人惊讶的是，人们对该地区广大农村人口在这些过程中的作用知之甚少。本项目通过研究如何在家庭和社区经济中使用中央生产的商品来探讨莫切阶段的城市-腹地一体化。Surridge先生将对六到八个农村家庭的藏品进行小规模的挖掘和分析。该项目将利用建筑和陶器收藏作为衡量财富的替代指标，确定家庭之间是否存在财富差异，如果存在，这些不平等是否与获得大规模生产的仪式用品有关。 为了了解家庭经济的变化，该项目还将对家庭农业、食品加工和服务以及手工艺生产中使用的陶瓷和石器工具材料进行彻底分析。最终，Surridge先生将寻求将仪式物品的社会和文化资本与独特的经济实践联系起来。通过这种方式，本研究将考察一个新兴的中央集权政体的政治和宗教象征如何影响参与人口的经济关系和活动，该项目的更广泛影响包括社区参与、教育和专业奖学金的好处。通过与MOCHE Inc.的合作，Surridge先生将在Ciudad de Dios和Quirihuac Viejo的Moche Valley社区提供一系列公共和学校演讲。这些介绍将与501 c3非营利组织MOCHE Inc.的遗产保护工作同时进行，并将努力使当地利益攸关方能够利用考古遗迹的经济和教育潜力。北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校和秘鲁大学的本科生也将有机会在挖掘和实验室阶段担任志愿人员和助理，接受实地和实验室方法的培训。这项研究将为Surridge先生在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的论文提供数据，并为秘鲁和国际研究生的研究收集数据。项目成果将通过英文和西班牙文的出版物和专业介绍与学术界人士分享，包括向同行评审的期刊投稿和将由此产生的论文作为专著出版。
