Description
Summary:This article presents a synthesis of the principal archaeological evidence obtained during the last three field seasons at the site of Cerro del Gentil in the middle Chincha Valley on Peru’s south coast. Based on these data, we propose the existences of a series of social practices that were conducted at the site. We further explore the implications of these results for understanding the Paracas and Topará occupations in the Chincha valley between the 6th and 2nd centuries BCE. === En este artículo, presentamos una síntesis de las principales evidencias arqueológicas recolectadas durante nuestras tres últimas temporadas de investigación en el sitio de Cerro del Gentil, ubicado en el valle medio de Chincha, costa sur del Perú. A partir de estas evidencias, planteamos una serie de prácticas sociales que se habrían dado en este sitio y sus implicancias para la explicación de las ocupaciones humanas asociadas con las tradiciones Paracas y Topará en el valle de Chincha entre los siglos VI y II a.C.
