Wankarani Settlement Systems In Evolutionary Perspective

Resumen del Libro

Results of a regional settlement study which argue that the emergence of highly nucleated early Wankarani villages can be attributed to concentration of highly productive land for a mixed farming-herding economy, defense, and labor pooling. There is little evidence of exotic imported goods, but some indication of small-scale village specialization and economic interdependence. The full regional settlement dataset is available online to complement the volume. Complete text in English and Spanish.
