Text of Note

This dissertation proposes, on the basis of an iconographic and stylistic analysis of Moche fineline painted decorations on ceramic vessels from the Moche, Jequetepeque, and Chicama Valleys in north coastal Peru, a new chronology for, and an enhanced understanding of, the political landscape of Moche culture during the Late Moche period (AD 600-900). I, like others before me, see Moche ceramic vessel paintings as manifestations of the dominant ideology of the polities that created them and as belonging to distinct regional artistic substyles. This dissertation reevaluates these paintings through the lens of regional variation. A formal and iconographic comparison of two previously identified substyles, one called the "Huacas de Moche substyle" and other the "San Jos� de Moro substyle," as well as a new one, which I label the "Late Chicama substyle," reveals evidence that the Huacas de Moche fineline painting tradition preceded that of the Late Chicama tradition and that the Late Chicama substyle came before the San Jos� de Moro tradition. Examination of the roles these substyles played in elite power strategies at each polity indicates that certain major changes took place over time in Moche ideology and political organization.
