Flagstaff Festival of Science: Ancient Peru Before the Inka: Diet, Migration, and Llamas During Imperial Control (LIVE STREAM ALSO AVAILABLE)

September 28, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free
The Wari, who existed hundreds of years before the Inka, was the first expansive state to control vast regions of Peru. I present isotopic information from ancient people and animals at the Wari imperial site of Huaca del Loro (700-950 C.E.) in Nasca, Peru. We will learn how the Nasca coped with their arid environment, what they ate, how they managed domesticated llamas, and the nature of the relationship between the Wari Empire and the local Nasca people.
