Abstract
Burger and Salazar-Burger explore ceremonial structures from the late Preceramic Period through the Early Horizon in Peru. Only the material that pertains to the Late Preceramic was indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes. In this article they speculate that the differences that occur in ceremonial structures within the Kotosh Religious Tradition at the sites of Huaricoto, Shillacoto and Kotosh may be related to the type of labor and social organization used to construct the structures. The authors label this, 'a system of rotating ritual authority within which labor is mobilized through ties of blood marriage, ritual kinship, and friendship.' (page 78) or a cargolike system.
