Ethnographic analogy features too in some of the pa-pers in Chav´ın: art, architecture and culture. Ever sincethe 1930s, when the great Peruvian archaeologist JulioC. Tello identified it as the font of Andean civilisation,the monumental site of Chav´ın de Huantar, high inthe Central Andes in Ancash, has loomed over Andeanprehistory. And while this status has long been underassault, Chav´ın material culture – the so-called ‘EarlyHorizon’ – continues to mark the first period in whichsome degree of unity is visible in the archaeologicalrecord across great expanses of the Central Andes.For Richard Burger and many others its iconographyof fanged ‘chimeras’ – wonderfully illustrated in thispublication – conveys dread purpose. Burger (p. 91)evokes precisely this in his proposed name of Manchay(from the Quechua for ‘to be afraid’) for a currentlyunnamed precursor culture of the Central Coast.Indeed this illustrates how relatively unexplored thearchaeology of the Andes still is; for where elsedo entire ‘cultures’ still remain nameless? Burger isperhaps the leading authority on the Early Horizonand he contributes two papers to this volume, theproduct of a round-table at Dumbarton Oaks heldsome three decades on from a precursor meetingthere published under the same title. This collectionbenefits from the excellent editing of Quilter andConklin, the latter also contributing a typically lucidchapter on Chav´ın textiles

Born in 1891 to a Quechua-speaking family in theAndes Mountains of Peru, Martín Chambi is todayconsidered to be one of the most renowned figures ofLatin American photography. In a paper for an arthistory class, a student claims that Chambi’sphotographs have considerable ethnographicvalue—in his work, Chambi was able to capturediverse elements of Peruvian society, representing hissubjects with both dignity and authenticity.Which finding, if true, would most directly supportthe student’s claim?A) Chambi took many commissioned portraits ofwealthy Peruvians, but he also producedhundreds of images carefully documenting thepeoples, sites, and customs of Indigenouscommunities of the Andes.B) Chambi’s photographs demonstrate a high levelof technical skill, as seen in his strategic use ofillumination to create dramatic light and shadowcontrasts.C) During his lifetime, Chambi was known andcelebrated both within and outside his nativePeru, as his work was published in places likeArgentina, Spain, and Mexico.D) Some of the peoples and places Chambiphotographed had long been popular subjectsfor Peruvian photographers................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Unauthorized copying or reuse of any part of this page is illegal.

Review the text.Archaeology is the study of human culture through the examination of physical objects. These items may be anything humans created or used in the past.The materials archaeologists study fall into two categories: features and artifacts. Some well-known features include the Egyptian pyramids, the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the sunken ship Titanic. Movable objects like tools, human bones, handcrafts, and clothing are examples of artifacts.Archaeologists might study a New York building constructed in the 1920s, or they might examine camp bedding left in a South African cave more than two hundred thousand years ago. Archaeologists hope objects like these will provide clues about past human cultures.Which best shows that the author's purpose is to inform readers about the field of archaeology?
