ABSTRACT Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions were determined for camelid bone collagen, hair, and wool (fibre) sampled from textiles from archaeological sites in the Santa Valley (north coast of Perú) occupied during Moche III (El Castillo, A.D. 300−500) and Moche IV (Guadalupito, A.D. 500−700) phases; a small number of camelid bone collagen samples were also analysed from the Late Suchimancillo Phase (A.D. 0−300). These data suggest that localised camelid husbandry was practiced in the Santa Valley from at least the Moche III phase. The nature of camelid husbandry likely involved animals being kept spatially segregated and fed a diverse range of fodder. The isotopic compositions of the bone collagen and wool textiles were very similar, which suggests that the wool that was used to produce the textiles was derived from local camelids rather than being acquired from the highlands. The transition from Moche III to Moche IV, which saw a significant increase in Mochica presence in the Santa Valley, was not accompanied by major changes in camelid husbandry practices. Localised camelid husbandry continued through this transition with minimal change; the prolonged droughts of the sixth century A.D. had no discernable effect on camelid husbandry, probably due to the special hydraulic conditions unique to the Santa Valley.

秘鲁圣谷早期中期骆驼畜牧业的综合同位素研究

摘要 从莫切三世时期（埃尔卡斯蒂略，公元 300-500 年）占据的圣谷（秘鲁北部海岸）考古遗址中采集的骆驼骨胶原蛋白、毛发和羊毛（纤维）中的纺织品样品中测定了稳定的碳和氮同位素组成和 Moche IV (Guadalupito, AD 500−700) 阶段；还分析了来自 Suchimancillo 晚期（公元 0-300 年）的少量骆驼骨胶原蛋白样品。这些数据表明，至少从莫切 III 阶段开始，在圣谷就开始了本地化的骆驼饲养。骆驼畜牧业的性质可能涉及将动物在空间上隔离并喂食各种饲料。骨胶原和羊毛纺织品的同位素组成非常相似，这表明用于生产纺织品的羊毛来自当地的骆驼科动物，而不是从高地获得。从 Moche III 到 Moche IV 的过渡，见证了莫奇卡在圣谷的显着增加，但并没有伴随着骆驼饲养实践的重大变化。本地化的骆驼畜牧业在这个转变过程中继续进行，变化很小；公元 6 世纪的长期干旱对骆驼畜牧业没有明显影响，这可能是由于圣谷特有的特殊水力条件。本地化的骆驼畜牧业在这个转变过程中继续进行，变化很小；公元 6 世纪的长期干旱对骆驼畜牧业没有明显影响，这可能是由于圣谷特有的特殊水力条件。本地化的骆驼畜牧业在这个转变过程中继续进行，变化很小；公元 6 世纪的长期干旱对骆驼畜牧业没有明显影响，这可能是由于圣谷特有的特殊水力条件。
