AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this chapter from the book, 'The Origins and Development of the Andean State', Hastings argues that the fit between vertical ecology (verticality) and ethnicity in some Andean areas produced a durable and adaptable system that resisted state formation. He examines the ecology and settlement patterns in the ecologically diverse Lake Junín region during the Late Intermediate Period. The relative proximity of upland PUNA for herding and rich bottomland (QHISHWA) for agriculture in the region permitted household-level exchanges between groups that exploited each zone. Based on ceramic distribution and historical records, Hastings postulates that the groups occupying the different zones were distinct ethnic groups. The document includes the complete bibliography from the 'The Origins and Development of the Andean State'.
