	lambayeque
		La culture de Lambayeque, qui occupe sur la côte Nord la période comprise entre la fin de la culture Mochica et la splendeur de l'empire Chimú (10e-13e siècles), est historiquement liée à la phase d'expansion Tiahuanaco-Huari dont elle paraît être un développement sui generis, avec des ingrédients regionaux issus des cultures Virù, Moche et Recuay.
		On appelle culture Lambayeque - ou encore Sican ou Sipan - une expression culturelle du Nord-Pérou, florissante entre 700 et 1100 après J.-C. et dont le siège principal se trouvait dans la vallée de Lambayeque (la ville actuelle se trouve à 10 km au Nord de Chiclayo).
		Enfin, dans les environs immédiats de Lambayeque, se dressent plusieurs sites archéologiques de grande importance pour l'histoire des cultures Moche, Lambayeque et Chimú, parmi lesquels celui de Pampa Grande, où l'archéologue Walter Alva découvrit la tombe du "Seigneur de Sipan" en 1988.

	The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions
		The almond-shaped eyes, a distinguishing feature of the Lambayeque style, of what appear to be the protagonists in the scenes support the attribution to the Lambayeque culture.
		Dense overall decoration and narrative scenes, as on this beaker, are unusual in Lambayeque art; overall decoration is more frequently seen on later Chimú works, though usually in the form of repeated motifs.
		Given the presence of the many fantastic creatures and composite beings, it is reasonable to assume that cosmological views and mythic episodes are depicted.

	Peru : Pre-Inca Cultures
		Other cultures that thrived during the same period were the Chachapoyas, who constructed the impressive Kuélap fortress in the northern highlands, the Ica (or Chincha) south of Lima, and the altiplano (high plains) groups that built the finely crafted chullpa towers near Puno and Lake Titicaca.
		The Chimú were the dominant culture in Peru before the arrival and expansion of the Incas, and they initially represented a great northern and coastal rivalry to the Incas.
		The most spectacular remnant of this culture, known for its advances in stone carving, pottery, weaving, and metallurgy, is the Chavín de Huántar temple, 40km (25 miles) east of Huaraz.

		Jasmonate was found in 1962 in Jasminum oil ( Demole E et al., Helv Chim Acta 1962, 45, 675) and jasmonic acid was isolated in 1971 in a fungus culture ( Aldridge DC et al., J Chem Soc 1971, C, 1623).
		Cucurbic acid is a jasmonic acid analogue with 12 carbon atoms and a hydroxylated cyclopentane cycle which has similar properties as jasmonic acid.
		This compound is subsequently transformed into jasmonic acid, the true mediator of plant herbivore defense ( Stelmach BA et al., J Biol Chem 2001, 276, 12832).

	History of PERU
		The Chavín culture, dating from around 900 BC, has long been considered the first civilization of south America.
		The Mochica, centred upon Moche on the north coast of Peru, are known in particular for brilliantly realistic pottery sculpture - usually depictions of human heads (possibly even portraits), functioning as jugs with stirrup-shaped spouts emerging from the top.
		Sophisticated architecture (pyramids and raised platforms) suggests complex societies, and carbon-14 dating reveals that they were in existence by around 3000 BC - contemporary with the beginnings of civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt.
