The Fortaleza Valley, Peru: Archaeological Investigation of Late Archaic Sites (3000–1800 BC)
Fieldiana Anthropology, 2013

During 2003 and 2004, test excavations were conducted at six of these sites in the Fortaleza Valley. Excavation included 1 3 2-m test pits and sections cleared along road cuts and looters' pits. Good preservation of plant materials, along with fiber bags, or shicra, used in construction of monumental architecture yielded ample samples for dating. This report describes and illustrates the precise context of the samples and provides the radiocarbon dating results for 79 samples. Project results show that the sites tested were occupied during the Late Archaic Period between 3000 and 1800 BC. The pattern of constructing large mounds paired with sunken circular plazas clearly begins by the third millennium BC, and a U-shaped layout of sites appears to develop during that period, as indicated by the regularity of site plans and monuments at sites such as Caballete and Porvenir. NB: THIS IS A PROOF. THE PRINTED VERSION IS THE DEFINITIVE COPY.

Caral is located 23 kilometers inland from the Pacific coast and contains a central zone of monumental, residential, and nonresidential architecture covering an area of 65 hectares. Caral is one of 18 large preceramic sites in the Supe Valley.
