| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to clarify the dynamism of the diachronic process of the early complex society integrated by the ceremonial center and its relationship with interregional interactions during the Formative Period (3000 B.C. - 1 B.C.) in the Andes.
And thus, we carried out excavations at two archaeological sites in the Huancabamba valley in the Northern Peru and at three sites in southern Ecuador since, despite the difference in the trajectory of social complexity, intensive interactions were assumed. In addition, for the comparative study in a macro level, a survey was carried out in the Nasca region in Southern Peru, where environmental and cultural contexts are quite distinct.
As a result, this study revealed the diversity and variations of interregional interactions in Northern Peru and Southern Ecuador. The data set obtained in this study made it possible to discuss the role of ceremonial center in sociopolitical transformation in relation to interregional interaction.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究成果における最たる学術的意義は、神殿社会と地域間交流との相互関係を実証的に解明する手がかりを、ミクロからマクロまでの様々なレベルでえたことにある。研究が遅れているペルー最北部とエクアドル南部のデータを充実させた意義も極めて大きい。
また、調査の際には、現地の人々への説明会や情報提供にとどまらず、教育機関と連動し、歴史教育の一環として発掘調査を用いることにとりくむなど、その社会的意義も大きい。
