Andean South America offers significant anthropological insights
into highland and arid zone adaptations, including pastoralist
economy and ecology, settlement patterns, site formation processes,
tool manufacture, and the cultural meanings of landscapes. The 16
papers in this volume present detailed studies of economics and
production, caravanning and trade, ceramic manufacture and use
life, patterns of settlement and mobility among highland and
lowland pastoralists and horticulturalists, taphonomy, and sacred
landscapes. The epistomological foundations of ethnoarchaeology,
archaeological uses of ethnoarchaeology, and the relationship
between environment and culture are important theoretical themes.
Beyond those interested in Andean South America, this volume will
be of use to anyone who studies human adaptations to highland or
arid environments, and to those interested in pastoral societies.
