A regional analysis of Barí land use intensification and its impact on landscape heterogeneity
Anthropology
To date, most applications of computing technology in anthropology have been task-driven, automating work that was usually done manually or mechanically before computers moved outside the domain of specialists and became readily accessible. This essay addresses the question, What kind of computing environment would best support a scientific enterprise in anthropology? A scientific perspective in anthropology takes individual tasks to be inextrica…
Labor specialization and the formation of markets for food in a Shipibo subsistence economy
Modeling Folk Knowledge as Expert Systems
There are striking parallels between ideas developed in the study of cognitive systems by anthropologists and the modeling of expertise in artificial intelligence research. These parallels suggest that expert system architectures can provide effective means to formulate rigorous models for theories about native expertise and so-called cultural competence. We illustrate how such modeling may be done with theprogram, BA TES (Bisayan Address Term Ex…
The Scientific Basis for Shipibo Soil Classification and Land Use
Since the Shipibo began cash cropping rice, their land use patterns have changed with proportionately less utilization of soft sandy soils, which are best for staple Musa production, and greater use of harder clayey soils, which are more suitable for rice and root crops. Statistical analysis of soil samples reveals the physical-chemical basis for Shipibo soil categories and indicates the effect ofswidden agriculture on levels of important soil ch…
