Question

In this body of water, an early example of fishhooks was discovered on Cedros Island. Michael E. Moseley argued that an ancient culture on this body of water had a (10[1])“maritime foundation” rather than an agricultural one, (10[1])pointing (10[1])to a sparsity of ceramics at sites like Aspero. The discovery of pre-Clovis (10[1])sites prompted theories (-5[1])about a “kelp highway” along this body of water (10[6]-5[2])as an alternative (10[1])to an “ice-free corridor.” (10[2]-5[2])This is the largest (-5[2])body of water along which the Chimú Empire controlled territory (10[1])and along (-5[1])which the Norte (10[2])Chico civilization (10[3]-5[1])flourished. (10[5]-5[2])A leader’s wealth (-5[1])was demonstrated through gift-giving in potlatch ceremonies developed by people living along this large (10[1])body of water. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])the Incan Empire controlled territory along the coast of what ocean? (10[2])■END■ (10[8])
