The Preceramic Period in the Punas of Junín from the Point of View of Panaulauca SiteThe Panaulauca preceramic site of the Peruvian central highland region known as the Puna de Junin is a key location for understanding early Andean hunting adaptations and the eventual transition to herding. Our excavations in the cave mouth area and on the talus slope of this site have revealed a substantial occupation beginning well before 7000 B.C., and lasting until historical times. We have recovered extensive stone tool, faunal, and botanical data that we use here to define the major economic and social transitions that occurred during and after the Preceramic Period. Early Preceramic phases of occupation show a growing exploitation of camelids, principally the vicuña, while settlement patterns suggest a certain amount of mobility with a wet season emphasis in Panaulauca. By Middle and Late Preceramic times, however, the site is occupied year round in a pattern of increasing sedentism. A major reliance on herding is not seen until Formative times, but by this point Panaulauca is no longer a major center of occupation, and cannot be considered a reasonable sample of these later cultural patterns. |
