Bertrand Flornoy
Bertrand Flornoy (27 March 1910 – 25 April 1980) was a French explorer, archaeologist and politician. Life Flornoy in 1936 became special advisor to the National Museum of Natural History, which sends mission studies and exploration in the Amazon Basin and the Andes. Flornoy specialized in the Upper Amazon of Peru, and in 1941 and 1942 discovered the sources of the Marañón River, a constituent of the Amazon. As an archaeologist, Flornoy was particularly interested in pre-Columbian civilisations and unearthed the remains of a pre-Incan civilisation. Of the 101 sites explored in the Tantamayo region, 25 were studied in particular in 1955 and 1956 in the company of Marc Corcos. Many of the monuments discovered, such as those at Piruro, Japallán, Selmín Granero and Susupillo, reveal a type of architecture previously unknown in South America (3- and 4-storey buildings). Bertrand Flornoy and Marc Corcos discovered the ‘Empire of Yarovilca’, a hitherto unknown pre-Inc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kotosh Religious Tradition
The Kotosh Religious Tradition is a term used by archaeologists to refer to the ritual buildings that were constructed in the mountain drainages of the Peruvian Andes between circa 3000 and c. 1800 BCE, during the Andean preceramic, or Late Archaic period of Andean history. Moseley 2001. p. 109. Archaeologists have identified and excavated a number of these ritual centers; the first of these to be discovered was that at Kotosh, although since then further examples have been found at Shillacoto, Wairajirca, Huaricoto, La Galgada, Piruru, among others. These sites are all located in highland zones that are lower than the Puna, and yet there are considerable distances separating them. In spite of this, all these cases of highland preceramic public architecture are remarkably similar. Kotosh tradition shows numerous links with the Chavín culture that emerged at most of these sites subsequently. Archaeological context Three cultural phases which preceded the Chavín culture wer ...

Andean Preceramic
The Andean preceramic refers to the early period of human occupation in the Andes, Andean area of History of South America, South America that preceded the introduction of ceramics. This period is also called pre-ceramic or aceramic. Earliest human occupations The earliest humans that came to South America are known as Paleo-Indians. This period is generally known as the Lithic stage. After this came the period that is widely known as Archaic, although there are also some different classifications of this period. The precise classification is complicated because somewhat different terminologies tend to be used for North America and Mesoamerica. The Andean preceramic period would include cultures that belong to Lithic and Archaic stages. Preceramic in Peru The Zaña Valley in northern Peru contains the earliest known canals in South America. These were small stone-lined canals which drew water from streams in the Andes Mountains region. These canals may have been built as ear ...

Chavín Culture
The Chavín culture was a Pre-Columbian era, pre-Columbian civilization, developed in the northern Andean highlands of Peru around 900 BCE, ending around 250 BCE.

Periodization Of Pre-Columbian Peru
This is a chart of cultural periods of Peru and the Andean Region developed by John Rowe and Edward Lanning and used by some archaeologists studying the area. An alternative dating system was developed by Luis Lumbreras and provides different dates for some archaeological finds. Most of the cultures of the Late Horizon and some of the cultures of the Late Intermediate joined the Inca Empire by 1493, but the period ends in 1532 because that marks the fall of the Inca Empire after the Spanish conquest. Most of the cut-off years mark either an end of a severe drought or the beginning of one. These marked a shift of the most productive farming to or from the mountains and tended to mark the end of one culture and the rise of another. The more recent findings concerning the Norte Chico civilization are not included on this list, as it was compiled before the site at Caral was investigated in detail.
