Abstract:
Most of this article is a review and report on
the architecture and ceramics of Tiahuanaco and therefore is not indexed.
However there is a small section on the Tiahuanaco and Huari connection. Stone
masonry at Tiahuanaco is more impressive than the stonework at Huari. Both sites
share stone lined underground chambers, which according to Arellano were most
likely used for storage. This architectural similarity suggests to Arellano a
closer connection than one of just religious or commercial exchanges. He
reiterates the hypothesis that Tiahuanaco and Huari were northern and southern
capitals of one empire.
