Abstract

This essay reviews two aspects of the Archaic Period in the Central Andes and Peru based on data achieved by archaeological investigations in Quebrada de los Burros, Tacna, in the Peruvian southern coast conducted by Daniéle Lavallée and Michele Julien. First, the research mentioned above stands for the valuable remains found and their great antiquity, and at the same time provides an opportunity to assess the nature of the period indicated from the point of view of subsistence patterns and socio political features that emerged at this stage. Second, concomitantly with the above, it is shown that the classical definition of the Archaic period should be reevaluated.
