By: Parsons, Jeffrey R., Hastings, Charles M..

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Parsons and Hastings review the archaeology of four regions of Peru for the Late Intermediate Period: '1) the Chimu domain on the North Coast; 2) the Upper Mantaro-Tarma drainage in the Central Sierra; 3) the Chillon-Rimac-Lurin valleys on the Central Coast and adjacent sierra; 4) the Upper Urubamba drainage and northern Titicaca Basin in the Southern Sierra.' (Page 190). Only the areas and time periods that pertain to the Andean Regional States were marked for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes. (The Chimu were not marked for OCM codes.) The focus of Parsons and Hastings review was 'the spatial and temporal variability in ecomonic and socio-political organization.' (page 228).
