| Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the formation of power in the Andean Civilization of South America through the excavations of the ceremonial center (Pacopampa archaeological site in the north highlands of Peru) and the analysis of the archaeological remains.
The chronology of the Pacopampa site was reworked into Phase I (B.C.1200-B.C.800) and Phase II (B.C.800-B.C.500) by our team, and it turned out that in the Phase I social inequality was not found, and the religious activities (construction of temples and their renovation) were based on voluntary participation by the community's member, while in the Phase II the person of power appeared, and the main source of his/her power depended on the production of metal and their distributions.
