Abstract
Bermann writes of the results from his fieldwork at the Tiwanaku site of Lukurmata, a second-order site in the Tiwanaku hierarchy. Bermann focused on households to give a different perspective on the rise of the Tiwanaku state and social change. The various households and associated artifacts uncovered are reported in detail along with the burials found and the public architecture uncovered. Household life appeared to change at different times than would be expected if the site of Tiwanaku were the sole driving force of change. Bermann's research supports the idea that Tiwanaku was a state society rather than just a hegemony with trade and religious networks.
