AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
A speculative model is presented for economic and political development on the north coast of Peru from the Archaic period to the Inka occupation, focusing on the late Early Formative period through the Chimu Tradition (only data on Chimu are topic indexed). Chimu large-scale organization and some of its institutions seem to have had their origins in the Initial period. Topics covered include the economic and political developments as they relate to the physical environment, agriculture, taxation in the form of corvée labor, government reciprocity and redistribution, and administration, including manufacturing, and dynastic succession.
