Mark Aldenderfer
Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona

Cultures around the world have used gold to signal status, prestige, and 
power. In this lecture, Dr. Aldenderfer will examine four Andean 
cultures?the Archaic hunters and gatherers of the Lake Titicaca basin 
(2000 BC), the peoples of the Chavin cult (500 BC), the Moche state (AD 
300), and the Chimu polity (AD 1300)?and describe how they used their 
golden treasures. From the simplest of necklaces to the sleeves of gold 
worn by the Chimu kings, the golden artifacts of these Andean cultures 
continue to excite the modern imagination.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America, 
and the Center for Ancient Studies and Archaeology at Willamette University
