Question
Description acceptable. Michael E. Moseley’s original MFAC (“m-FACK”) theory argued that this activity formed the foundation of the Norte Chico civilization, as evidenced by the older Aspero site relative to Caral-Supe. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this activity whose products were traded for irrigation-grown cotton, which largely replaced Asclepias bast fibers. The prized Spondylus was obtained by this activity and traded with Chimor and Moche (“MOH-chay”) to the south.
ANSWER: fishing [accept catching seafood; accept catching fish or mollusks or crustaceans or shellfish or shells; accept collecting shellfish; accept netting or hooking; accept whaling; prompt on hunting or gathering by asking “for what specific food?”; prompt on boating or sailing or rowing by asking “for what specific purpose?”; prompt on food; reject “agriculture”; reject “aquaculture”]
[10e] Like their Kotosh successors, the Norte Chico civilization notably did not use this technology. The Chavín (“cha-VEEN”) culture developed this technology using charcoal-fed ovens to heat clay before applying artistic reliefs or carvings.
ANSWER: ceramics [accept pottery; accept earthenware or stoneware]
[10m] Despite the absence of ceramics, these devices used to record information were discovered at Caral by Ruth Shady. The Inca used these devices of knotted strings as systems of writing that can be delivered by chasqui (“CHASS-kee”) runners.
ANSWER: quipus [or khipus; prompt on strings; prompt on ropes]
