This is a study of a Middle Horizon temporary campsite located in the peruvian north coastal desert of the Huarmey Valley. The excavation was undertaken in the central part of the site since it contained the largest quantity debris and evidence of two bonfires. Its age was established using pieces of ceramic found on the site. A few artifacts were founded, probably due to the brief occupancy of the site, but were able to study the abundant botanical and animal remains, as well as llama and human coprolites. We present the results of tests for pollen in both the llama and human coprolites, as well as of tests for plant, animal, and parasite content in the human fecal remains are presented here.
