Download or read book Maritime Communities of the Ancient Andes written by Gabriel Prieto and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime Communities of the Ancient Andes examines how settlements along South America’s Pacific coastline played a role in the emergence, consolidation, and collapse of Andean civilizations from the Late Pleistocene era through Spanish colonization. Providing the first synthesis of data from Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, this wide-ranging volume evaluates and revises long-standing research on ancient maritime sites across the region. These essays look beyond the subsistence strategies of maritime communities and their surroundings to discuss broader anthropological issues related to social adaptation, monumentality, urbanism, and political and religious change. Among many other topics, the evidence in this volume shows that the maritime industry enabled some urban communities to draw on marine resources in addition to agriculture, ensuring their success. During the Colonial period, many fishermen were exempt from paying tributes to the Spanish, and their specialization helped them survive as the Andean population dwindled. Contributors also consider the relationship between fishing and climate change—including weather patterns like El Niño. The research in this volume demonstrates that communities situated close to the sea and its resources should be seen as critical components of broader social, economic, and ideological dynamics in the complex history of Andean cultures. A volume in the series Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology, edited by Victor D. Thompson

Download or read book Ecology and Exchange in the Andes written by David Lehmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries Andean civilization and ecology has afforded a special fascination for European travellers and officials. In this volume, eight writers - anthropologists, economists and historians working in Bolivia, Britain, France, Ireland and Peru - describe and analyse aspects of rural society in various Andean regions. They focus on the impact of capitalist development on both the peasant economy and the landed elite in the Andes and the ways in which that impact has been shaped by a specific Andean culture and a characteristic Andean ecology and climate. Their discussion of Andean specificity centres on the notion of verticality, first developed by John Murra to describe political and economic adaptation to climatic variation in the Andean eco-system. The volume represents a substantial contribution to our understanding of Andean rural society and the nature of the Latin American peasantry and peasant economy. It will appeal to all those interested in economic anthropology, Latin America, peasant studies and the capitalist world-economy.

Download or read book Ecological variation and trajectories of prehispanic Andean urbanism written by R. Alan Covey and published by Gangemi Editore spa. This book was released on 2019-09-16T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Evolution of Urban Society, Adams suggested that ecological differences could play an important part in the development of early cities and their relationships with rural populations in their political and economic hinterlands. In the Andes, early cities developed during the first millennium CE in three distinct ecozones: the Pacific coast (Moche), the Lake Titicaca basin (Tiwanaku), and the highland valleys of Ayacucho (Huari). This article provides a brief introduction to each of these case studies, noting variations in urban form and scale, as well as the construction of monuments and public spaces. After describing the differences between the earliest Andean cities, discussion turns to the long-term trajectory of Andean urbanism, culminating in the flexible urban strategies of the Inca Empire.

Download or read book Funerary Practices and Models in the Ancient Andes written by Peter Eeckhout and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on the funerary archaeology of the Pan-Andean area in the pre-Hispanic period. The contributors examine the treatment of the dead and provide an understanding of how these ancient groups coped with mortality, as well as the ways in which they strove to overcome the effects of death. The contributors also present previously unpublished discoveries and employ a range of academic and analytical approaches that have rarely - if ever - been utilised in South America before. The book covers the Formative Period to the end of the Inca Empire, and the chapters together comprise a state-of-the-art summary of all the best research on Andean funerary archaeology currently being carried out around the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together exciting new field data by more than two dozen Andean scholars who came together to honor their friend, colleague, and mentor. These new studies cover the enormous temporal span of Moseley's own work from the Preceramic era to the Tiwanaku and Moche states to the Inka empire. And, like Moseley's own studies -- from Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization to Chan Chan: The Desert City to Cerro Baul's brewery -- these new studies involve settlements from all over the Andes -- from the far northern highlands to the far southern coast. An invaluable addition to any Andeanist's library, the papers in this book demonstrate the enormous breadth and influence of Moseley's work and the vibrant range of exciting new work by his former students and collaborators in fieldwork.

This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoarchaeology is a major branch of archaeological science at the interfaces between geology, geography and archaeology, involving the combined study of archaeological, soil and geomorphological records and the recognition of how natural, climatic and human-induced processes alter landscapes. The formation and modification of past soils, and occupation sequences can be examined primarily through the use of soil micromorphological techniques and various physical and geo-chemical techniques. This short text aims to explain some of the basics of geoarchaeological approaches and research design used to tackle the investigation of landscapes and settlement archaeology, and the application of soil micromorphology to archaeological situations. The intention is to present a basic handbook of good practice, with case studies and examples, that any archaeologist or aspiring geoarchaeologist can use.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains case studies in environmental archaeology that apply data obtained from various disciplines-including zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, human biology, and geoarchaeology-to explore important anthropological issues. Studies include geological and biological data from sites located in North America, the Caribbean basin, and South America. Rather than critiquing or advocating specific environmental techniques, each study demonstrates how and why the information obtained from their use is important to anthropologists and archaeologists.
