Question

where did wealthy people live in caral?
in the city of caral, wealthy people lived in large dwellings located on top of pyramids.
this elevated living situation was a physical manifestation of the city’s distinct social classes. the architecture of the city clearly separated the elite from other groups:

• artisans resided in smaller houses at the base of the pyramids.
• unskilled laborers lived in much simpler homes at the edge of the city.

because caral arose around 3100 b.c.e., these living arrangements provide some of the earliest evidence of a hierarchical urban society in the americas, developing at roughly the same time as the first cities in mesopotamia.
you can view the pyramids of caral as a \social pedestal\: the higher a person’s status in the community, the higher they lived above the rest of the population, literally looking down upon the workshops of the artisans and the distant homes of the laborers.
