PERUVIAN ARCHAEOLOGY

 

 This page currently presents some images of my experiences in Peru.  I hope to have the time soon to be able to develop this page further to include more detailed discussions of the fieldwork I have conducted in Peru and present some images of that fieldwork.

 

 Moquegua Valley, Peru

 

 

This is the Moquegua Valley of Peru.  Since there is clear evidence of fairly direct control over this region by Tiwanaku, archaeological research in the Moquegua Valley has been very important in evaluating the nature of Tiwanaku's influence beyond the its heartland in the Titicaca Basin. 

  

The following images are of Inca architecture in the Inca capital of Cuzco.
