  • Descrição: Based on cultural evidence, it is assumed that the subsistence practices of Late Formative (700 B.C. to A.D. 100) societies from the Paracas peninsula evolved from being fishing-based to agricultural around the beginning of the common era. The inventories of several sites in the region, however, suggest a mixed diet that included marine protein and cultivated carbohydrates in unknown proportions. To test changes in coastal subsistence during this period, the remains of 56 individuals from three occupations (Karwas [700–550 B.C.], Paracas Cavernas [550–260 B.C.], and Paracas Necrópolis [260 B.C. to A.D. 100]) were analyzed using a bioarchaeological approach. The analyses of oral pathology show similar patterns in the three populations, consistent with an extremely cariogenic and soft diet. In addition, evidence of coca leaf chewing was detected in Paracas Cavernas and Paracas Necropolis. The isotopic signatures show that the large amounts of C3 carbohydrate intake (tubers and legumes) decreases, while C4 carbohydrate (maize) intake increases, supplemented with marine protein. The results of these data suggest that the consumption and possibly the production of cultivated carbohydrates were highly developed in the region since the mid-first millennium B.C.
