Open Discussion about Orthography: Nasca or Nazca

Hello,

I would like to open a debate on the proper orthography of Nasca/Nazca in the English language. Locally the Municipality of Nasca uses the 's' and not the 'z.' Much of the archaeological literature (see works for example by Helaine Silverman or Katharina Schreiber) use a convention to refer to the geographical region and city as "Nasca" and the the archaeological culture as "Nazca." Although this is a relatively loose convention.

The earliest known spelling makes use of the 's' and not the 'z." Documents such as the property title of the Hacienda San Joseph de la Nasca (1622), make use of this orthography, as well as published documents such as Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's manuscript (http://www.kb.dk/permalink/2006/poma/1051/en/text/?open=id2978109).

It is believed that the confusion arose in the 19th century, and the use of "Nazca" is attributed to confusion with a form of the Spanish verb "nacer" - to be born.

I would like to hear the thoughts of others in the community, especially other historical professionals. I'm also new to Wikipedia and still learning the conventions and proper ways of doing things around here.

@SouthAmericanEthnohistorian: Thanks. The convention/guideline you need to read first is WP:COMMONNAME. Dougweller (talk) 09:25, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Puquios

I think the debate of the origin of the Puquios is still unresolved, to an extent that doesn't allow such a firm statement about the Nazca culture building them, in the introduction. Sander1453 (talk) 20:23, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
