Through a richly detailed examination of the practices of spinning
yarn from the fleece of llamas and alpacas, Earth, Water, Fleece
and Fabric explores the relationship that herders of the present
and of the past have maintained with their herd animals in the
Andes. Dransart juxtaposes an ethnography of an Aymara herding
community, based on more than ten years fieldwork in Isluga in the
Chilean highlands, with archaeological material from excavations in
the Atacama desert.
Impeccably researched, this book is the first systematic study to
set the material culture of pastoral communities against an
understanding of the long-term effects of herding practices.
