Kayeleigh Sharp of the Southern Illinois University together with an American and Peruvian colleagues will undertake research to elucidate the nature of relationships between two populations that coexisted in time and space on the north coast of Peru. Previous studies have suggested various possible scenarios, from the dominance of one entity which forced the other into a subordinate social position, to the possibility that two ethnically distinct populations each maintained social and political autonomy over time. How would the nature of such interrelationships manifest in visible material culture including style of their artifacts? What social mechanisms might have enabled such long-standing coexistence? These questions are relevant to contemporary global issues of social asymmetry and ethnic interrelationships. Their investigation will include the exploration of various analytical perspectives and lines of evidence, with emphasis on the social, cultural and situational factors that influence organization and location of activities and choices people make in manufacturing and using artifacts, or technological choices. Archaeology is well positioned to study material culture, particularly ceramics, and analyze how people created and organized in space their quotidian activities by means of qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis. Their daily practices will elucidate how these two populations saw themselves and inform on their relationships to each other. Integrated spatial analyses that explore patterned differences in the archaeological record, will yield better understanding of the physical dimensions of their social interrelationships and coexistence.Researchers will examine how technological choices and activity patterns are related spatially, and explore how the relationship between people and things contributed to the formation of archaeological identities and social interrelationships. The research will be conducted in the residential sector of the first-millennium Songoy-Cojal site situated in the mid-Zaña Valley, which is accessible to some of the north coast's most important monumental tombs and urban centers. In this small valley, coexisting Gallinazo and Mochica artifacts present the opportunity to study various types of social interrelationships that were in place. The researcher and her team consisting of one American and a small number of Peruvian archaeologists from a local university will undertake the in-depth study of rural households to elucidate the nature of relationships in this understudied region. At present, no in-depth effort of this kind has been put forth to resolve long-standing debates. With the integration of established methods borrowed from computer science and geographical information sciences, these interdisciplinary datasets will increase understanding of Gallinazo and Mochica coexistence. This work constitutes a major departure from traditional studies that long relied on funerary and stylistic data. As an alternative to such traditional types of technological and activity analysis, the investigation will make a significant contribution to the analytical toolkit for studying social asymmetries and the axes of social differentiation in archaeological contexts.

南伊利诺伊大学的Kayeleigh Sharp与一位美国和秘鲁同事将进行研究，以阐明在时间和空间上共存于秘鲁北海岸的两个种群之间的关系性质。之前的研究提出了各种可能的情况，从一个实体的主导地位迫使另一个实体处于从属的社会地位，到两个不同种族的群体随着时间的推移各自保持社会和政治自治的可能性。这种相互关系的性质如何在可见的物质文化中表现出来，包括他们的人工制品的风格？是什么样的社会机制促成了这种长期共存？这些问题与当代全球社会不对称和种族相互关系问题有关。 他们的调查将包括各种分析视角和证据线的探索，重点是社会，文化和情境因素，影响组织和活动的位置和人们在制造和使用文物，或技术选择的选择。考古学很好地定位于研究物质文化，特别是陶瓷，并通过定性和定量分析方法分析人们如何在空间中创造和组织他们的考古活动。他们的日常实践将阐明这两个群体如何看待自己，并告知他们彼此之间的关系。综合空间分析，探索模式的差异，在考古记录，将产生更好地了解他们的社会相互关系和共存的物理尺寸。研究人员将研究如何技术的选择和活动模式是空间相关的，并探讨人与物之间的关系如何有助于考古身份和社会相互关系的形成。 这项研究将在位于Zaña山谷中部的第一个千年Songoy-Cojal遗址的住宅区进行，该遗址可以通往北海岸一些最重要的纪念碑墓和城市中心。在这个小山谷中，Gallinazo和Mochica文物共存，为研究各种类型的社会相互关系提供了机会。 研究人员和她的团队由一名美国人和当地一所大学的少数秘鲁考古学家组成，他们将对农村家庭进行深入研究，以阐明这一研究不足地区的关系性质。目前，还没有为解决长期存在的争论作出这种深入的努力。随着从计算机科学和地理信息科学中借鉴的既定方法的整合，这些跨学科的数据集将增加对Gallinazo和Mochica共存的理解。这项工作构成了一个重大的背离传统的研究，长期以来依赖于丧葬和文体数据。作为这种传统类型的技术和活动分析的替代方法，调查将为研究考古背景下的社会不对称和社会分化轴的分析工具包做出重大贡献。
