It is a common idea that men in Pre‐Colombian Peru held the socio‐political
power. Recently, many female elite burials from the Moche, Transitional and
Lambayeque Periods are changing this idea. At least in these cultures, there appears

explain that based on the recent available archaeological data, that I believe The
Transitional Period is in fact The Early Lambayeque period, of which very little data has
been excavated. |
