Sumario: The Wari in their Local Context: Nasca and SondondoThis paper presents archaeological data from the Sondondo valley (provincia Lucanas, Ayacucho),and the Nasca region of the south coast of Peru, and attempts to elucidate the nature of the Wari occupation in each region. In the case of Sondondo, a large Wari site, Jincamocco, was established in MH 1B. During the remainder of the Middle Horizon, three additional sites were built, agricultural terracing was constructed, and local villages were relocated. In the case of Nasca, the site of Pacheco was established, as well as a small site at Pataraya; we also find two small Wari cemeteries with above-ground tombs in the upper valley. It appears that agricultural terraces were co-opted, and the local political system underwent a major reorganization. The two regions are compared on the basis of political and economic reorganization associated with the Wari presence. It is suggested that research to date indicates that the expansion of Wari was a largely political phenomenon, with strong elements of both the economic and religious spheres.
