“…TP is dedicated to the god Pachacamac [47]. In the Late Horizon period (Table 1), Pachacamac belonged to Chinchaysuyu under the Inca domination [48,49], which added new important architectures such as the House of Qipus, Building 47, Plaza de los Peregrinos (PP in Figure 2), and Accllawasi (A in Figure 2). The latter was reconstructed in the 1940s by Julio C. Tello [50,51].…”

Natural events (floods, earthquakes, landslides, etc.) may significantly damage archaeological sites, and therefore reducing their exposure to such events represents a priority for protective and conservation activities. The archaeological Sanctuary of Pachacamac (SP; 2nd–16th century CE; Peru) covers an area of 465 hectares and includes roads, enclosures, huacas with ramps, temples, and palaces located along the central coast of Peru. This area is affected by heavy rain and winds related to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and to intense solar radiation. We use a 30 cm resolution Digital Surface Model obtained from orthophotogrammetric data and perform a morphometric analysis using geomorphological, hydrological, and climatic quantitative parameters. Our aim is to identify the zones exposed to water flow or stagnation during rainfall, as well as the exposure to winds and solar radiation. The calculated parameters are subsequently processed with an object-based image analysis approach to identify areas with higher climate exposure. We show that the SP architectural layout controls the exposure to water stagnation or flow in the form of rainfall, whereas exposure to wind and solar radiation mainly depends on the topography of an area (e.g., the presence of hills and plains). The methodological approach proposed here may be applied and extended to other archaeological sites.

“…8-7, 8-10) podría sugerir que se trata de peregrinos procedentes de lugares diversos, aunque debemos enfatizar que la gran mayoría de las vasijas encontradas hasta ahora en la zona donde hemos excavado, son locales. La motivación del peregrinaje, atestiguado en la época de los Incas (Eeckhout, 1998(Eeckhout, , 2004c(Eeckhout, , 2008 probablemente tiene que ver con los beneficios que los fieles esperaban sacar de la divinidad. Al respecto, es interesante mencionar que una proporción anormal de los entierros tardíos que hemos excavado en Pachacamac -tanto en el Cementerio I como en otras partes del sitio-presentan huellas de patologías graves como sífilis, cáncer, raquitismo, y otros, las que provocaron sin duda su muerte (Owens, 2005(Owens, , 2006.…”

This is a study of the historical, archaeological, and anatomical/pathological evidence for human sacrifice at the Peruvian coastal site of Pachacamac during the Late Intermediate and Late Horizon Periods (A.D. 1000-1475 and 1475-1533). It highlights the problems associated with the identification of archaeological sacrifice, then goes on to summarize the pathological and cultural evidence from the site. The significance of this evidence is evaluated using not only traditional paradigms but also the notion of “deviant” burial; this is proposed as a formalized means of identifying archaeological sacrifice in collaboration with—and in the absence of—other indicators. Comparisons are carried out with selected sites and periods, and in both coastal and inland regions. Supplementary evidence from international contexts is also considered. The anatomical and contextual findings from Pachacamac reflect a shift from the somewhat sanguineous cultures such as the Nasca and the Moche, to the perfection-obsessed sacrificial modality of the Incas. The former seems to be concerned primarily with retainer burials and the punishment of enemies or opponents, which were offered to an uncertain eternity as a gesture to some higher power. The iconographic, archaeological, and anatomical evidence for sacrifice in these groups is commensurately dramatic. In the case of the Incas, the sacrifices were intended to bless objects or missions, give thanks, or to appeal for supernatural favors or assistance. We go on to propose—for the first time in Latin America—a theoretical framework for identifying and interpreting “deviant” burials in the Andean archaeological record.
