Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2001.

The architectural sequence and chronology of the monumental center at Chavin de Huantar, located in Peru's north-central highlands, has long been a consequential issue in Andean archaeology. I demonstrate that Chavin's construction differed significantly from the three-phase sequence previously postulated. A simple Old Temple-New Temple distinction neither sufficiently nor accurately represents the complexity of Chavin's sequence.

520 $a The architectural sequence and chronology of the monumental center at Chavin de Huantar, located in Peru's north-central highlands, has long been a consequential issue in Andean archaeology. I demonstrate that Chavin's construction differed significantly from the three-phase sequence previously postulated. A simple Old Temple-New Temple distinction neither sufficiently nor accurately represents the complexity of Chavin's sequence.
520 $a My research presents a new methodology for studying the complexity of monumental architecture. New field methods enabled precise, three-dimensional documentation of Chavin's internal and external architecture, while new analysis methods enabled systematic study of the architecture's spatial relationships. With these methods I elucidated construction principles, isolated construction phases, and determined a new architectural sequence for Chavin.
520 $a I demonstrate that Chavin was built in a complex sequence of at least fifteen phases, grouped into five stages. Early construction of high-volume structures containing gallery patios and elaborate galleries shifted, in the final monumental construction stage, to construction of lower-volume structures containing standardized galleries and all known plazas. This pattern suggests a shift towards activities that required large, decorated external spaces, rather than elaborate internal spaces associated with small patios. Throughout, galleries continued functioning, and evidence suggests that the Lanzon monolith maintained importance. Staircase symmetry and significant modifications to earlier constructions characterize all stages. Highland architectural forms were constructed early and later incorporated with coastal architectural forms.
520 $a Key areas previously thought to be early were built in the final monumental construction stage; these include the Ofrendas Gallery and the Circular Plaza. Dates from associated radiocarbon samples suggest monumental construction was nearing completion by approximately 750 B.C., rather than beginning. Ofrendas ceramics are associated with this final monumental stage. The original architectural anchor-points of Chavin's sculptural sequence retain their relative positions. Evidence of structural destabilization exists by approximately 500 B.C., followed by evidence of disuse and physical collapse.
520 $a These results suggest that Chavin was coeval with other monumental centers of the late Initial Period and early Early Horizon, and had significantly declined, with many coastal centers, by approximately 500 B.C. Chavin likely was neither a "mother culture" antecedent to these centers, nor the late consequence of their decline.
