The essays in Dumbarton Oaks Conference on Chavìn were presented at a conference held at Dumbarton Oaks in October 1968. As the earliest civilization in Andes, Chavìn had an undeniable influence on later cultures. Carefully collated and expertly edited by Elizabeth P. Benson and published in 1971, these essays explore ideas regarding the origin, rise, and spread of the Chavìn culture throughout Andean South America.
The papers in this conference were concerned with the possible origins of Chavìn civilization and its spread to other regions. Chavìn, the earliest civilization in Peru, with its great ceremonial center in the northern highlands, spread to the north coast and as far south as the Nasca Valley. Its influence is clear, but its origins are unknown, as is the nature of its diffusion.
