| Sumario: | The manner the urban center of Huari of the Peruvian central highlands was established is an important topic. However, the issue remains little discussed. Taking into consideration information gathered from a huarpa settlement that existed in what eventually became the periphery of Huari, we discuss the way Huari achieved a great transformation late during the Early Intermediate Period and early during the Middle Horizon. The evidence suggests that at the end of the Early Intermediate Period a series of huarpa settlements were deserted in what appears to be a very conflictive situation. The former inhabitants of the rural huarpa villages found their way into much larger and better protected settlements. In this manner, a considerable number of huarpa settlements, that were viable for centuries, were deserted as their inhabitants moved specific centers such as Huari. |
