The objective of this research work is to evaluate the strategies for the use ofcamelids during the Mochica III and Mochica IV phases, through discriminatory,exploratory and statistical analyzes applied to the first phalanx. Theinvestigations in the archaeological complex of the Huaca del Sol y de la Lunahave shown an important occupation since phase III, with the establishment ofareas for the use of resources and the development of an urban nucleusgoverned by a Theocratic State. During phase IV the great changes in thetechnological organization are linked to the processes of change of subsistenceand the generation of new economic forms that allowed the emergence of aSecular State. The results reveal a majority presence of alpacas in both phases,in order to obtain products derived from meat and fiber. On the other hand,during phase III, the superposition of specimens and a high intraspecificvariability are shown, in contrast to phase IV, which denotes a greaterdifferentiation of the specimens and a high stability of the intraspecificpopulations.
