AB  - Moseley's (1975) Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization hypothesis 
      challenges, in one of humanity's few pristine hearths of civilization, the axiom 
      that agriculture is necessary for the rise of complex societies. We revisit that 
      hypothesis by setting new findings from La Yerba II (7571-6674 Cal bp) and III 
      (6485-5893 Cal bp), Rio Ica estuary, alongside the wider archaeological record 
      for the end of the Middle Preceramic Period on the Peruvian coast. The La Yerba 
      record evinces increasing population, sedentism, and "Broad Spectrum Revolution" 
      features, including early horticulture of Phaseolus and Canavalia beans. Yet 
      unlike further north, these changes failed to presage the florescence of 
      monumental civilization during the subsequent Late Preceramic Period. Instead, 
      the south coast saw a profound "archaeological silence." These contrasting 
      trajectories had little to do with any relative differences in marine resources, 
      but rather to restrictions on the terrestrial resources that determined a 
      society's capacity to intensify exploitation of those marine resources. We 
      explain this apparent miscarriage of the Maritime Foundations of Andean 
      Civilization (MFAC) hypothesis on the south coast of Peru by proposing more 
      explicit links than hitherto, between the detailed technological aspects of 
      marine exploitation using plant fibers to make fishing nets and the emergence of 
      social complexity on the coast of Peru. Rather than because of any significant 
      advantages in quality, it was the potential for increased quantities of 
      production, inherent in the shift from gathered wild Asclepias bast fibers to 
      cultivated cotton, that inadvertently precipitated revolutionary social change. 
      Thereby refined, the MFAC hypothesis duly emerges more persuasive than ever.
