This paper highlights the new architectural forms and presents evidence regarding building technology, function, and spatial Organization. In Nepeña, the Initial Period (1800–900 B.C.) mounds, such as Cerro Blanco and Punkurí are superseded by several enclosure complexes, and new concepts of architecture appear in the archaeological record. Investigations in 20 at Huambacho (PV31-103)) lower Nepeña Valley, yielded significant data to assess the nature of Early Horizon (900–200 B.C.) architecture on the north-central coast of Peru. The utility of the organizing concept of cuisine is that it provides a holistic, multidimensional, and comparative means of evaluating social and political variation within households and communities, where its daily practice would have worked to both produce and reproduce social patterns that in some cases integrated the community, while in others internally divided it. These patterns are most evident in differential access to camelid resources, variability in the state of faunal elements after cooking, and inter-household differences in the ratios of particular storage, cooking, and serving vessel forms. Patterning in excavated food resources and ceramics indicate that, in addition to spatial and architectural differentiation, household social status was also marked by variation in the daily activities and practices of domestic cuisine. In the Cajamarca region of the northern Andean highlands, spatial patterning in both food remains and the ceramics involved in their cooking and serving are beginning to shed light on these aspects of social life at the Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000–AD 1465) fortified community of Yanaorco. Cuisine, the shared patterns of food preparation techniques and contexts of consumption, is a critical factor in addressing questions of community, social, and political organization, identity, and status differentiation.
