Landscape and Politics in the Ancient Andes
Khonkho Wankane, the focus of this book, dates largely to the Late Formative (ca. AD 50–500) and is located about 30 kilometers south of Lake Titicaca in the altiplano of Bolivia. The author seeks to explain how this particular location became important in the landscape. His explanation is centered on the movements of llama caravans across a much broader landscape that became “entangled” at this particular spot for a variety of climatic, environm…
El palacio, la plaza y la fiesta en el imperio Inca
Este libro reúne diez de los más significativos ensayos de Craig Morris (1939-2006), eminente arquéologo especialista de la civilización inca. Sus excavaciones e investigaciones interdisciplinarias en los asentamientos administrativos incas de Huánuco Pampa, La Centinela y Tambo Colorado le permitieron adquirir un profundo conocimiento de la naturaleza de la infraestrucutra estatal en la periferia del Tahuantinsuyu y de los mecanismos políticos, …
El santuario de Catequil
En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la naturaleza de los oráculos en el mundo andino. Estos, como en otras partes del mundo, tuvieron la facultad de «hablar» y dar respuestas a las preguntas de sus devotos. Pero la capacidad de «hablar» debe ser vista solamente como el punto de partida para entender su funcionamiento. Por su capacidad de hacer pronósticos, los oráculos a veces jugaban también un rol político y se entremezclaban en los confli…

From Stewards to Bureaucrats
Archaeologists working with complex societies are concerned with the administration of political economies. Beginning with the premise that there are differing forms of administration and that bureaucracy, in the classic formulation of Max Weber, is one of these, I develop a heuristic dichotomy between two types of administrators: stewards (who closely supervise goods and people) and bureaucrats (who process and control information). Bureaucracy …

Hacia la comprensión del fenómeno Huari
La ausencia de almacenaje de gran escala en sitios huari no apoya la interpretacion de Huari como imperio al modelo de los incas. Se señala también que el fenómeno Huari se enfocó en un culto a los ancestros a fines del Horizonte Medio 1B. En este trabajo se presentan datos que demuestran que este culto derivó parcialmente del norte del Perú y se revisan los datos de Huamachuco relativos a sus raíces histórico-sociales. Asimismo, dos formas arqui…

A Comment on the Breeding and Herding of Llamas and Alpacas on the North Coast of Peru
In presenting a case for the viability of llamas on the desert coast of northern Peru in prehispanic times, Shimada and Shimada (1985) suggest that alpacas might also have been adapted to the coastal environment. Alpacas are primarily wool producers however, best adapted to the high altitude pasturelands of central and southern Peru. Wool yarn used in coastal textiles, it is argued, was imported from the highlands. While coastal llama herding is …
Staple Finance, Wealth Finance, and Storage in the Inka Political Economy [and Comments and Reply]
The development of the regionally integrated institutions of an expanding state society is predicated on the growth of systems of economic support. Both expansion of existing systems of finance and the development of alternative systems of revenue, such as tribute, administered exchange, and centralized taxation, may be of central importance to the state political economy. This paper examines the reorganization of the economic systems of the Inka…
