The Viru Valley is located in La Libertad Region on the northwest coast of Peru. In 1946, the first attempt to study settlement patterns in the Americas took place in the Viru Valley, led by Gordon Willey. Rather than examine individual settlement sites, Willey wanted to look at the valley as a whole and the way that each village interacted with the others. The study study showed that villages were located in placed which reflected their relationship with the wider landscape and their neighbors. The project emphasized the importance for archaeologists of viewing sites holistically and to take into account the economic, environmental, social, and political factors acting on past societies.
