Beginning by at least the Andean Middle Horizon (AD 600–1000), sites located more than 60 km inland from the Pacific coast in far southern Peru contain the remains of jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi). The coastal region near the modern Peruvian city of Ilo was the habitat where people procured fish and transported them to sites in the Moquegua Valley. Abundant neurocranial fragments indicate that coastal occupants shipped whole fish, not processed body portions, to inland destinations. I previously interpreted the remains of jack mackerel as imported fishes indicating high status deposits, particularly at imperial administrative outposts associated with the Wari Empire. The recent identification of jack mackerel at highly provisional, agricultural sites inhabited by non-elite residents suggests that these fishes were everyday, rather than elite, fare. The analysis indicates that the pre-Hispanic inhabitants discontinued trade in marine fishes after the collapse of the politically integrated empires in the region, but people reestablished fish trade in subsequent time periods. I examine the probable capture methods and possible culinary reasons as to why the Chilean jack mackerel is common at some inland sites in far southern Peru.

至少从安第斯中层地平线（公元600–1000年）开始，位于秘鲁南部遥远的太平洋沿岸内陆60多公里的地点包含鲭鱼的遗骸（Trachurus murphyi）。现代秘鲁城市伊洛（Ilo）附近的沿海地区是人们获得鱼类并将其运输到莫克瓜谷地区的栖息地。大量的神经颅碎片表明，沿海居民将整条鱼而不是经过加工的身体部分运到了内陆目的地。我以前曾将鲭鱼的残留物解释为进口鱼类，表明其具有很高的地位，特别是在与瓦里帝国有关的帝国行政哨所。最近在非精英居民居住的高度临时的农业场所发现鲭鱼，这表明这些鱼是日常食用，而不是精英食用。分析表明，该地区的政治一体化帝国崩溃后，前西班牙裔居民就停止了海鱼贸易，但是人们在随后的时间里重新建立了鱼品贸易。我研究了秘鲁南部一些内陆地区常见的智利鲭鱼为什么很常见的捕获方法和可能的烹饪原因。
