This presentation outlines recent archaeological investigations at Canchas Uckro, a site located in the Conchucos region of highland Peru. A suite of radiocarbon dates is presented to show how the site changed between c. 1100 and 800 BCE. Material culture and transformations in architecture demonstrate different interregional and regional connections that have implications for understanding how Chavín de Huantar formed in the late second millennium BCE. The talk concludes with a short epilogue that considers future directions for research in the Chavín heartland.
