The Architecture of the Chavín de Huántar Ceremonial Center: Tridimensional Registration and its ImplicationsThe site of Chavín de Huántar has a long history of excavation, but due to the lack of accurate maps, sophisticated analyses of visible architecture have not been possible. This article reviews the past attempts at mapping, and reports on the preliminary results of a project developing a high precision map and threedimensional model of both the external architecture, and the interior galleries. Analysis of this model is combined with the results of strategic excavations at architectural seams to help clarify the growth sequence of the monumental center. While the analysis supports the long-held assumption of an earlier Old Temple and a later New Temple, the relationship between specific constructions is much more complex than previously assumed. Evidence for at least one structure that predates the Old Temple is combined with a review of relevant radiocarbon dates to suggest that the early part of the Chavin architectural sequence is probably earlier than suspected. Analysis of architectural details of the site points to an emphasis on construction symmetry while sometimes avoiding the destruction of previous buildings, along with the precise placement of staircases, and their probable function as points of reference for the planning and construction of much of the architecture at Chavin |
