AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This sudy is based on a 360 sq.km. pedestrian survey of the Juli-Pomata region and the excavations of the elite-ceremonial site of Tumatumani, near the town of Juli, in the southwestern Titicaca Basin of southern Peru. Using a sophisticated analysis of ceramic pastes, finishes, and designs, the investigators identify a unique occupation, called Sillumocco, which is similar to, but nevertheless distinct from, other Upper Formative traditions in the region. They divide the Sillumocco into two periods based on differences in tempering methods and stratigraphy. The Late Sillumocco period (200 BC - AD 400) and the succeding Tiwanaku IV period (400-750) fall into the general Andean Regional Development period. Stannish concludes that the Sillumocco tradition represented an autonomous political entity and was later incorporated into the Tiwanaku state.
