Abstract

As the Chimú empire (ca. A.D. 900-1470) expanded along the north coast of Peru, it employed a mix of direct and indirect strategies to administer conquered populations. In order to investigate the extent to which Chimú conquest reshaped daily life in the provinces, I explore evidence from Pedregal, a rural farming village in the Jequetepeque Valley. I use cuisine as a window onto daily life at Pedregal, in order to construct a “view from the kitchen” of Chimú expansion. Excavation data from Pedregal households indicate that production of agricultural staples such as corn and cotton intensified during the Chimú period, but that while the focus of household culinary practice shifted, the overall range of household activities remained the same. The Chimú seem to have been able to establish political control and intensify agricultural production in conquered provinces without a radical reorganization of rural domestic economies. These findings have implications not only for emerging models of Chimú imperial expansion, but also for our understanding of how household-level change and continuity are articulated with regional political and economic processes.

Resumen

Resumen

Cuando el imperio chimú (900-1470 d.C.) se expandió para controlar la costa norte del Perú, empleó una mezcla de estrategias directas e indirectas para administrar las poblaciones conqulstadas: Para Investigar cómo la conquista chimú cambió la vida cotidiana en las provincias, este artículo presenta evidencia de Pedregal, una comunldad rural agrícola del valle de Jequetepeque, yplantea construir una “vista desde la coctna “ de la expansión chimú. Los datos de excavatión de la zona doméstica de Pedregal indican que la producctión de maíz y algodón se intensificó a lo largo del periodo chimú; sin embargo, mientras que el enfoque de la práctica culinaria doméstica cambió, la variedad de actividades domésticas se mantuvo constante. Los chimú parecen haber sido capaces de establecer el control politico e intensificar la agricultura en las provincias conqulstadas sin una reorganizatión radical de la economía doméstica rural. Estos resultados son importantes no solamente en cuanto a un modelo nuevo para la expansión chimú, sino también en cuanto a nuestras Ideas sobre las articulaciones entre el cambio y la continuidad al nivel doméstico y los procesos políticos y económicos al nivel regional.
