Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellowship provides promising scholars an opportunity to pursue their own research at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology while interacting with a diverse group of archaeology faculty, graduate students, and associated researchers from multiple departments. The Fellow will also teach at least one course based on their methodological, theoretical, or regional interests in an appropriate academic department. Please check back regarding application deadlines. For more information, contact Gregory Areshian, Assistant Director.

Cotsen Visiting Scholar Program

Since 1999, the Cotsen Visiting Scholar Program has hosted both senior and junior scholars at the Cotsen Institute. Senior scholars typically visit for one quarter to teach a graduate seminar and give public lectures. Junior scholars may stay for a more extended period of time to teach a course, organize a seminar and publish the results. For more information, contact Gregory Areshian. Next announcement of the Cotsen Visiting Scholar position will be coming out in the fall of 2011.

Chotuna and Chornancap: Excavating an Ancient Peruvian Legend

Christopher Donnan's Chotuna and Chornancap: Excavating an Ancient Peruvian Legend, explores one of the most intriguing oral histories passed down among ancient Peruvians: the legend of Naymlap, the founder of a dynasty that ruled the Lambayeque Valley of northern Peru centuries before European contact. Naymlap is said to have built his palace at a place that many now consider to be the archaeological sites of Chotuna and Chornancap. In an effort to test the validity of the Naymlap legend, Donnan directed extensive archaeological excavations at Chotuna and Chornancap--completing plans of the monumental architecture, mapping and excavating most of the major structures, and developing a chronology for the sites. This book presents the results of these excavations and demonstrates the extent to which the archaeological evidence correlates with the sequence of events described in the Naymlap legend.
