Update, June 1999
The Huaca del Moche has been around for a while now and has been a popular resource. I'm glad to be of service to people in providing some serious academic information in a fairly accessible form on the internet. I recently decided to update the site in a major way. This meant a complete overhaul of the way several things were run. First of all, the new server, which hopefully you will find faster and smoother, in addition to having an easier to remember name. I also chopped out two frames, fixed up some of the javascript jump menus, and broke some of the larger pages into multiple pages for quicker loading Most exciting of all, I did some major revisions to improve some of the information and make what was there more reader-friendly. I updated all the lists, too, so they are more fun things to note on every page.
One thing I've figured out, too... For some reason the site is currently best viewed with Internet Explorer. This puts me in a bit of a frustrating position because I personally prefer Netscape (yes, I know, IE is faster, but I've found Netscape to be more stable and I prefer its interface). And I've always tried to make my pages pretty universal. Nevertheless, there's a bit of a code difference which makes the little javascript jump menus center in IE but not in Netscape. Hopefully I'll get that remedied, but untill then, you're best off either using IE or tolerating the less attractive appearance of the site in Netscape.
(If you want to get technical, it's actually a glitch in my editor, which prefers to use <p align="center"> rather than <center></center> commands. That's OK most of the time, but for some reason, Netscape won't recognize it in the context of a form.)
The Older, but still True Stuff
Furthermore, all images contained on these pages are through-put from other organizations' web-sites. Most of the time these organizations will be duly noted in captions. Every image may be clicked as a link to its originating site. To find out the name of the organization of the URL of their site, simply view the alternate text of the image. (This can usually be seen by allowing your mouse cursor to hover over the image for just a moment.) To avoid proliferating stolen files, no images are throughput from sites where it is not clear that that site has rights to that image. Legally, the only images I can actually posesses and put up are those to which I have rights, which right now are not very many. Hopefully that situation will change, but only as the opportunity to remain legal and still do so presents itself. If you personally have photographs or information you would like to put on these pages, please drop me a line.
The material here is not infallible by any means. All scholars are still students, and I myself am still an undergraduate student. Mistakes and misjudgments are part of the game. If you find something you'd like to point out to, let me know! I can't learn unless I'm shown where I've gone astray and nudged back onto the right path.
And a word about selection. In certain places, most particularly the Moche Links page, I have had to make a lot of
choices as to what to include and what to leave out. Please rest assured that this has not been done off-handedly or
with a condescending mind set. If a link or piece of information has been left out, it because (a) I judged it worthy but not necessary; (b) I judged it to be lacking
sufficient documentation, etc..., for it to remain a viable piece of scholarly material; or (c) I simply didn't know about it. Please feel free to recommend a link, site,
or piece of information to me.
The popularity of the Sipan treasures, while certainly bringing some renewed attention to the Moche has also flooded the WWW with undocumented, often duplicative, and frequently surface-level pages dealing specifically with Sipan. In light of that, please understand that the Sipan links I have included are by no means all there is!
