Ritual geography, settlement patterns and the characterization of the provinces of the Inka heartland
This paper defines two zones of the Inka heartland around its capital, Cuzco, using both rituals and legendary history to describe boundaries and identify territories associated with the noble descent groups. The variability of archaeological settlement patterns in both zones is explained by this ritual geography. The most important sectors of both are associated with Chinchaysuyo and Hatun Ayllu in particular. Three basic patterns are described …
The Design and Function of the Intervalley Canal
Ortloff, Moseley, and Feldman fail to understand the basics of canal hydraulics and irrigation hydrology. They estimate nonpermissible velocities, calculate a critical state of flow, and assume a discharge without considering the field requirements. Their claim that tectonic movements caused canal abandonment is rejected. There is no geomorphological evidence for such events. Other research is described which indicates that the canal was designed…
And by each cleft there was a stream of water1. Reply to Spriggs and Sullivan
Hunters, gatherers and first farmers beyond Europe
The archaeology of irrigation canals, with special reference to Peru
A research methodology for the study of prehistoric irrigation canals is suggested which uses detailed excavation and survey techniques to generate data suitable for analysis by the principles of open channel hydraulics. The results indicate that these principles were empirically understood, even when the question of transporting water down steep slopes is considered, and that prehistoric canal discharge was a function of the farmer's perception …
