Acknowledgments—We gratefully acknowledge the National Geographic Society for providing a Research and Exploration Grant (7507-03 to BJS) for our follow-up work at Moquegua. We also received much appreciated help from the Institute de Frances de Estudios Andinos, which provided the vehicle used for the initial survey. This work was also supplemented by “start up” funds for EJS from the Department of Anthropology at Yale University. Eusebio Díaz, Walter Aguirre, and Gre-gorio Ramírez of the Museo de Historia Natural—UNMSM provided invaluable technical assistance, hard labor, and camaraderie in the field. We thank Julia Clarke of the American Museum of Natural History for helpful discussions regarding the bird claw. We also thank John Flynn, André Wyss, and Ewan Fordyce for helpful comments and criticisms of the original manuscript.
