| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Wari Empire developed in the Andean region of South America during 8 to 10 centuries. The capital was Wari, located in the southern central highlands of Peru, and its rule extended to the Cajamarca region in the northern highlands of Peru. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the reality of the local rule of the Wari Empire based on excavated data from archaeological sites in the Cajamarca region.
The Terlen-La Bomba site is a Wari Empire site located in the middle basin of the Jequetepeque River. The first excavation at this site was conducted in 2019 and the second in 2022. Several tombs and accompanying artifacts were identified. At the same time, morphological and DNA analyses of human remains excavated from the El Palacio site, a site from the Wari Empire period, were conducted to understand indicators of the diversity of the Wari Empire's membership.

先スペイン期最後の15-16にインカ帝国が台頭し、スペイン人により征服されたことは世界的事実である。しかしなぜインカ帝国が急速に拡張することが可能であったのか、など不明な点は多い。本研究ではインカ帝国の祖型とされる8-10世紀に台頭したワリ帝国の地方支配の実態を明らかにした。インカ帝国と同様に多民族国家であり、土器や埋葬形態などに多様性が認められることが明らかとなった。インカ帝国は一夜にして出現したのではなく、アンデス文明の長い発展プロセスの結果として理解できる。
