Abstract
Esta investigación expone los resultados del análisis de los invertebrados marinos y nos aproxima a entender su manejo e importancia durante el Horizonte Temprano Tardío o fase La Iglesia (500/400-200/150 cal. a.C.), que corresponde a la ocupación Salinar en el sitio arqueológico José Olaya-Iglesia Colonial de Huanchaco (JO-IG). En total se identificaron 54 taxones malacológicos, distribuidos en 52563 individuos (NMI) y 101298 restos (NISP). Estos invertebrados marinos fueron manejados según los requerimientos de la sociedad Salinar y jugaron un rol importante en las actividades domésticas, eventos rituales y en las economías de intercambio. En las actividades domésticas, los invertebrados marinos fueron empleados en la alimentación y subsistencia de la población. En los eventos rituales, los invertebrados marinos formaron parte de las ofrendas de 11 individuos enterrados y fueron suministrados como alimento durante los acontecimientos fúnebres o en el transcurso de los festines conmemorando a los muertos. En las economías de intercambio, la presencia del Spondylus principalmente como artefactos suntuarios (cuentas discoidales) en las tumbas, sugiere que la población Salinar de Huanchaco tuvo acceso a este preciado bivalvo y entablaron relaciones con poblaciones norteñas, además de sostener redes de intercambio con asentamientos ubicados en el interior del valle de Moche para el intercambio de productos y especies para el consumo. Por último, resalta la figura femenina, pues en tiempos recientes las mujeres se desempeñaron activamente en la recolección de los mariscos y tuvieron injerencia en los asuntos socioeconómicos, algo que posiblemente también se dio durante la fase La Iglesia en Huanchaco
ABSTRACT This research presents the results of the analysis of marine invertebrates and brings us closer to understanding their management and importance during the Late Early Horizon or La Iglesia Phase (500/400-200/150 cal. B.C.), which corresponds to the Salinar occupation at the José Olaya-Iglesia Colonial de Huanchaco archaeological site (JO-IG). A total of 54 malacological taxa were identified, distributed in 52563 individuals (MNI) and 101298 remains (NISP). These marine invertebrates were managed according to the requirements of Salinar society and played an important role in domestic activities, ritual events and exchange economies. In domestic activities, marine invertebrates were used as food and subsistence of the population. In ritual events, marine invertebrates were part of the offerings of 11 buried individuals and were provided as food during funeral events or in the course of feasts commemorating the dead. In exchange economies, the presence of Spondylus mainly as sumptuous artifacts (discoidal beads) in the tombs, suggest that Salinar population of Huanchaco had access to this prized bivalve and established relationships with northern populations, also maintained exchange networks with settlements located inside of the Moche valley for the exchange of products and species for consumption. Finally, the female figure was important, in recent times women have actively participated in the shellfish and had an influence in socioeconomic activities, something that possibly also took place during La Iglesia Phase in Huanchaco
