Abstract

The archaeological site of Galindo, located in the Moche Valley, is one of the most important Late Moche (ca. A. D. 600—800) centers on the North Coast of Peru. The site was once thought to have been occupied only after the nearby Huacas de Moche, the paramount Middle Moche (ca. A. D. 300–600) center in the valley, was abandoned. Recent radiocarbon dates from the Huacas de Moche, however, indicate that it continued to be occupied well into the eighth century A. D. This paper presents data on the occupational history of Galindo recently obtained during the Galindo Archaeological Project (GAP). These data, along with similar data from the Huacas de Moche, present a new understanding of the occupational history of the Moche Valley during the first half of the Middle Horizon (A.D. 600–1000).

El sitio arqueológico de Galindo, ubicado en el valle de Moche, es uno de los centros Moche Tardío (ca. 600–800 d.C.) más importante en la costa norte del Perú. El sitio era antes pensado haber sido ocupado solamente después del sitio cercano de las Huacas de Moche, el centro principal Moche Medio (ca. 300–600 d. C) en el valle, fue abandonado. Fechas radiocarbónicas recientes de las Huacas de Moche, sin embargo, indican que lo continuaba estar ocupado bien entrado el siglo octavo d. C. Este artículo presenta datos sobre la historia ocupacional de Galindo recientemente obtenido durante del Proyecto Arqueológico Galindo (GAP). Estos datos, junto con datos similares de las Huacas de Moche, presentan una comprensión nueva sobre la historia ocupacional del valle de Moche durante la primera mitad del Horizonte Medio (600–1000 d. C).
