- Q4708151 abstract "Alana Kathleen Cordy-Collins (5 June 1944 – 16 August 2015) was Professor of Anthropology at the University of San Diego. She was an archaeologist whose primary specialization was Peruvian prehistory.She was born in Los Angeles, California. Her father was Mayanist Napoleon Cordy. A cousin, Ross Cordy, is an anthropologist specializing in Polynesian civilizations, who is chief archaeologist for the state of Hawaii’s Historic Preservation Division and teaches at the University of Hawaii.She received her bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and Ph.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She worked on the Ulluchu Project, a botanical research project on the north coast of Peru. A secondary specialization was shamanism, where she developed a project in Mongolia. In addition to her professorship, she was director of the David W. May Indian Artifacts Gallery and curator of the collection. She was also a former curator of the Latin American collections at the San Diego Museum of Man.Cordy-Collins played a major role in the excavation of several important Moche tombs in Peru starting in 1972, including the Royal Tombs of Sipan and Dos Cabezas. Sipán, excavated in 1987, is one of most important archaeological discoveries of Peru. It includes some of the few tombs that had been undisturbed by grave robbers, and the artifacts, which included gold, ornate pottery and other findings, toured the United States. The excavation of the Dos Cabezas pyramid in 1997-2002 revealed treasure-filled tombs with a surprising amount of metalwork and ceramics, as well as a family of “giants” – mummies of men who would have stood about 6 feet tall, compared with the typical Moche, who averaged between 4-foot-10 and 5-foot-6. The noblemen suffered from Marfan syndrome, an inherited form of gigantism. These are the first recorded instances of gigantism in prehistoric South America. Cordy-Collins lectured both nationally and internationally about the Moche "giants."".
