“…Prior to the consolidation of political hierarchies in the Moche phase, social differences in the Moche Valley were far less dramatic (Billman 1996(Billman , 1999(Billman , 2002Brennan 1980;Topic 1982;Topic and Topic 1978). In the Late Preceramic Period (2000-1800 B.C.…”

“…Prior to the establishment of the Southern Moche State, social differences were far less dramatic (Topic & Topic, 1978;Brennan, 1980;Topic, 1982;Billman, 1996Billman, , 1999Billman, , 2002. Before 1800 BC, Moche Valley residents lived in small coastal communities, subsisting on marine resources (Pozorski & Pozorski, 1979;Pozorski, 1983).…”

This study introduces a new method for analyzing oral health indicators and thus reconstructing diet. To this end, we examined the dental remains of 173 individuals recovered from the site of Cerro Oreja in the Moche Valley of Perú, who lived during the Salinar (400-1 BC) or Gallinazo (AD 1-200) phases. The infectious and degenerative conditions analyzed include: dental caries, dental wear, dental abscess, antemortem tooth loss and dental calculus, all of which have been used to track dietary and thus subsistence-related economic and sociopolitical changes. Data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations, an extension of generalized linear models. Significant changes in the frequency of occurrence of most dental conditions suggest that during the period of study, there was an increase in the consumption of agricultural products. However, these changes in oral health did not equally affect females and males. By the end of the Gallinazo phase, significant sex differences developed, with females more often affected by dental caries and males displaying greater mean molar wear scores.

“…I suggest that increasing differentiation of gender roles was important to the development of the state, and that gender differences may have been the most salient force in the transition to political hierarchy and social stratification in the Moche valley. Dental Anthropology 2004;17(2):45-54. the valley were organized in less hierarchical political structures (Topic and Topic, 1978;Brennan, 1980;Topic, 1982;Billman, 1997Billman, , 1999. It was the people of these societies who first opened the desert lands of the Moche valley to agriculture ( Table 1).…”
