Initially defined by distinctive ceramic styles, the Chiribaya culture flourished within the south-central Andes during the Late Intermediate period. Centered on the coast and extending from the Azapa to the Tambo valleys, Chiribaya peoples exploited a rich marine environment while also engaging in agriculture and camelid herding. Chiribaya grave elaboration varies markedly across space and through time, although gender-coded artifacts are pervasive. In this paper we examine variation in tomb elaboration and diet, contextualized temporally and spatially, as it informs concerning the origins of social, political, and economic complexity for Chiribaya peoples.
