Presented here is a meal from a simple cooking vessel, excavated from the Late Moche (AD 600–850) site of Wasi Huachuma on the north coast of Peru. This meal, cooked in a whole, plain vessel and spilled beneath the floor of a domestic structure, was unambiguously marked by a large stone embedded in the floor. It contained diverse plant and animal materials associated with the sea, the coastal plains, the highlands and the jungle. Via its contents and placement, this meal embodies the ways in which the domestic world of exchange and interaction was deeply entangled with the spiritual and political. All at once, this meal was utilitarian, domestic, industrial, ritually charged and politically embedded. Within it, the fruits of communities, geographical regions and ideas were assembled together to be realized as a dedicatory offering within, and potentially to, this domestic structure. I argue that this meal both contains and is contained by a milieu that is eminently local and mundane as well as worldly and supernatural.

“做”羊驼炖脸：作为国内专用存款的晚期莫切烹饪组合

这里展示的是从秘鲁北部海岸的 Wasi Huachuma 晚期 Moche（公元 600-850 年）遗址出土的简单烹饪容器中的餐点。这顿饭是用一个完整的普通容器烹制的，洒在家庭建筑的地板下，地板上嵌着一块大石头，清楚地表明了这一点。它包含与海洋、沿海平原、高地和丛林有关的各种植物和动物材料。这顿饭通过它的内容和布局，体现了国内交流互动的方式与精神和政治的深刻纠葛。一下子，这顿饭是功利的、家庭的、工业的、仪式性的和政治性的。在其中，社区、地理区域和思想的成果被汇集在一起​​，以实现为内部的奉献，并有可能成为这种国内结构。我认为这顿饭既包含又包含在一个非常地方和世俗以及世俗和超自然的环境中。
