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.

伊利诺伊州南部大学的凯利·夏普（Kayeleigh Sharp）以及美国和秘鲁同事将进行研究，以阐明秘鲁北海岸的两个人群之间的关系的性质。先前的研究提出了各种可能的情况，从一个实体的统治地位，迫使另一个实体进入下属的社会地位，再到两个种族截然不同的人群随着时间的推移维持社会和政治自治的可能性。这种相互关系的本质将如何在可见的物质文化中表现出，包括其文物的风格？哪些社会机制可能使这种长期存在的共存？这些问题与当代社会不对称和种族相互关系的当代全球问题有关。他们的投资将包括探索各种分析观点和证据，重点关注人们在制造和使用文物或技术选择中所做的活动和选择的社会，文化和情境因素。考古学可以很好地研究物质文化，尤其是陶瓷，并通过定性和定量分析方法分析人们在太空中的创建和组织方式。他们的日常实践将阐明这两个人群如何看待自己并互相告知他们的关系。探索存档记录中有图案差异的综合空间分析将更好地理解其社交相互关系的物理维度和共存。研究人员将研究技术选择和活动模式如何在空间上相关，并探讨如何和事物之间的关系和事物如何促进了所归档的身份和社会相互关系的形成。这项研究将在位于中部Zaña山谷的第一千年少年Songoy-Cojal遗址的居民区域进行，北海岸一些最重要的每月墓葬和城市中心都可以使用。在这个小山谷中，与加利纳佐和摩西卡人同存共存的机会为研究已经存在的各种社会相互关系的机会提供了机会。研究人员和她的团队由一所当地大学的一名美国人和少数秘鲁考古学家组成，将对粗糙家庭进行深入研究，以阐明这个知识的地区的关系性质。目前，尚未提出这种深入的努力来解决长期的辩论。通过从计算机科学和地理信息科学借用的既定方法的整合，这些跨学科数据集将增加对Gallinazo和Mochica共存的理解。这项工作与长期以来依赖丧葬和风格数据的传统研究构成了主要的不同。作为这种传统类型的技术和活动分析类型的替代方法，该投资将为研究社会不对称和考古背景下的社会差异化轴做出重大贡献。
