Abstract

Excavations at the Wacheqsa sector from Chavin de Huantar identified contexts from the Middle Formative (1100-900 BC) and Late Formative (900-550 BC) periods. We present results of starch analysis conducted in culinary equipment (ceramics) retrieved from domestic occupations and a large midden. Microbotanical analysis revealed a variety of plant food resources, such as maize, beans, olluco, and possibly chili peppers.
