La Puntilla Project: Investigations on sociology of centralization in communities of the valley of Nasca (1st millennium BC)

The project aims to produce sociological research on the communities living in the valley of Nasca in the IS' millennium BC. We are working in several sites in the area. The excavations have provided evidence about a singular building for centralised work, with two courtyards, and also domestic units that show the availability of the products manufactured in the central building of the settlement. This means, it will be possible to analyse production of social life and whether there was a dominant class controlling production or not.
