| Summary: | The Chavín collection consists of twelve documents, two in Spanish and ten in English. The documents discuss the Chavín culture along the coast and highlands of central and northern Peru and into Ecuador from 4000 B.P to 2200 B.P. Burger provides a comprehensive overview of Chavín, reporting on excavations at the site of Chavín; an examination of the importance of maize agriculture to Chavín civilization; and a description Chavín civilization as a religion and how it spread. Patterson studies the spread of Chavín art and religion. Lumbreras describes the temples and art found at the site of Chavín de Huántar, the architecture of the Old Temple, and various ceramics discoveries. Miller also discusses the site of Chavín de Huántar, and studies the changes in meat for dietary purposes. A summary of the excavations at the site of Kotosh can be found in Izumi. Lathrap explores sources for the inspiration for Chavín art. He examines the interaction sphere between Ecuador, the eastern Montaña, and Chavín during the Initial Period (4000 B.P.) through the Early Horizon. Rowe examines the persistence of Chavín-like designs in the art found in later periods and cultures.
