AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Topic 'examines the relationship between Huari and Huamachuco by focusing … on four sites: Viracochapampa, Marca Huamachuco, Cerro Amaru, and Cerro Sazon.' (page 141). Viracochapampa is a planned site that was never finished. Through analysis of the architecture Topic is able to show Huari derived some of it's architectural styles from the Huamachuco tradition. Topic also calculates the amount of labor that probably was needed to construct the Huari sites in the area. He concludes the labor demands Huari made on Huamachuco local labor were not high. Topic's paper '… shows that Marca Huamachuco exercised power continuously before, during, and after the Huari presence in Huamachuco…. [And that] Viracochapampa is not a totally intrusive site type; the principal building types and some of the planning concepts derive logically from Marca Huamachucno and Cerro Sazon…. The current evidence supports a much more balanced relationship between Huari and Huamachuco. It also emphasizes two particular facets of that relationship; trade and religion.' (page 161-162).
