Dissertation Research: The Wari Empire (AD600-1000) and its Health Impact on Heartland and Hinterland Populations: A Bioarchaeological Study of Diet, Disease, and Violent Conflict

这项研究通过对考古人类遗骸的古病理学、饮食和人口统计学分析，研究了瓦里帝国(公元600-1000)对该州中心地带和外围人口的健康影响。瓦里国起源于安第斯山脉中部高地(接近现代的阿亚库乔)，并在整个安第斯山脉合并人口，包括秘鲁中南部的马吉斯山谷。人口统计学、古病理学和稳定的同位素骨骼组成数据来自三个考古骨骼样本--两个来自外围的Majes山谷(遗址，La Real和Beringa)，一个来自位于Conchoata的Ayacucho山谷的中心地带城市Wari遗址--以记录过去Wari统治时期的农村和城市社区健康状况。然后，这些数据被用来比较心脏地带和外围地区的健康状况差异，以及与WARI互动的两个外围马吉斯山谷骨骼种群之间的相似性。最后，基于性别和阶层的健康和饮食差异的数据被用来考虑过去的社会和性别角色和组织。

This research examines the health impact of the Wari empire (AD 600 - 1000) on populations in the state's heartland and periphery through paleopathological, dietary, and demographic analyses of archaeological human remains. The Wari state originated in the central Andean highlands (near modern-day Ayacucho) and incorporated populations throughout the Andes, including those of the Majes valley in south-central Peru. Demographic, paleopathological, and stable isotopic bone composition data are collected from three archaeological skeletal samples-two from the peripheral Majes valley (sites, La Real and Beringa) and one from the heartland urban Wari site in the Ayacucho valley, Conchopata-to document past rural and urban community health during the period of the Wari rule. These data are then used to compare differences in health status, if any, between those in the heartland and periphery, as well as document (dis)similarities between the two peripheral Majes valley skeletal populations that experienced interaction with Wari. Finally, data on sex- and class-based health and dietary differences are used to consider past social and gender roles and organization.
