Archaeology and history in the Camisea River basin, Cusco-Peru (300 BC – AD 1,200)

Abstract

 This work attempts to define whether corrugated pottery is native or was obtained through exchange with the Tupi-Guarani during specifically indicated cultural periods. Likewise, it examines whether the groups settled in the Camisea area belong to the Arawak, were part at some point of the southern Tupi-Guarani, or constitute an independent group contemporary to those previously mentioned—an autonomous cultural group belonging to the pre-Andean Arawak linguistic matrix, ancestors of the Machiguenga, who lived in the area between $576 \pm 204$ BC and AD 1,003 inclusive, and within AD 1,000 to 1,200.
