AbstractOver the past 25 years the Sicán Archaeological Project has labored to define both the technology and organization of Sicán metallurgy through application of a “holistic approach.” A major advance in this regard comes from 1999 and 2001 excavations at the 1000-year old Middle Sicán ceramic and metal workshop of Huaca Sialupe on the northern coast of Peru. Apart from ceramic kilns, our excavations revealed two clusters of updraft furnaces made from large inverted ceramic urns. Our replicative experiment showed that the furnace with charcoal fuel fanned only by wind generated a range of temperatures suitable for annealing to alloying of copper and gold. Spills, partial ingots, sheet metal scraps and other production debris indicate co...
