The domesticated landscapes of the Andes
Over many millennia, Andean farmers transformed their diverse environments into highly ordered cultural or engineered landscapes to support families, communities, temples, rich social lives, long distance trade, and eventually the management of states and empires. A wide range of crops and a few animals were domesticated and formed the basis of highly productive agropastoral systems. Creation of engineering works including canal irrigation, terra…
The Transformation of Environment into Landscape
Although the Neotropics are recognized as a region rich in biological diversity, the origin, evolution, and maintenance of this phenomenon continues to be debated. Historical ecologists and landscape archaeologists point out that the Neotropics have a long, complex human history that may have been a key factor in the creation, shaping, and management of present day biodiversity. The construction of monumental earthworks referred to as ring ditche…
Making Human Space
Foi paths are the graphic effect of intentional, creative movement across the earth.They transform the ground, partition the earth and create human space ...
Precolumbian Causeways and Canals as Landesque Capital
Agency, Causeways, Canals, and the Landscapes of Everyday Life in the Bolivian Amazon
Landscapes of Movement
The essays in this volume document trails, paths, and roads across different times and cultures, from those built by hunter-gatherers in the Great Basin of North America to causeway builders in the Bolivian Amazon to Bronze Age farms in the Near East, through aerial and satellite photography, surface survey, historical records, and excavation.
Amazonia
The Historical Ecology of a Complex Landscape in Bolivia
The Domesticated Landscapes of the Bolivian Amazon
Time, Complexity, and Historical Ecology
Time and Complexity in Historical Ecology
This collection of studies by anthropologists, botanists, ecologists, and biologists is an important contribution to the emerging field of historical ecology. The book combines cutting-edge research with new perspectives to emphasize the close relationship between humans and their natural environment. Contributors examine how alterations in the natural world mirror human cultures, societies, and languages. Treating the landscape like a text, thes…
An artificial landscape-scale fishery in the Bolivian Amazon
Neo-environmental determinism and agrarian 'collapse' in Andean prehistory
In early anthropology, environmental determinism was used to explain race, human demography, material culture, cultural variation and cultural change. As anthropological interpretation evolved, simplistic reductionist thinking was replaced with more complex socio-cultural explanations. Despite these theoretical advances,environmental determinism continues to be invoked to explain Andean prehistory
