Pañamarca Collections Storage Management Project

Archaeologist and painter Pedro Neciosup illustrates a painted pillar at Pañamarca

Funding from the Stahl Endowment of the Archaeological Research Facility at the University of California, Berkeley is making possible the essential work of managing the archaeological collections from the ancient Moche (ca. 200–850 CE) site of Pañamarca on the north coast of Peru. This work builds upon Stahl-funded activities in 2014 that allowed for the AMS dating of sixteen samples of organic materials recovered from architectural construction and botanical offerings excavated at Pañamarca.
