AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this work fifty-two archaeological sites near the southwest shore of Lake Titicaca in Peru were surveyed for information relating to the development and structure of the Lupaca kingdom, a late prehistoric state on the Andean high plateau (ca. 1100 A.D.-1467 A.D.). Hyslop chose this particular area because of the relatively complete description of the social, political, and economic organization of the region made by early chroniclers (see VISTA HECHA A LA PROVINCIA DE CHUCUITO PER GARCIA DIAZ DE SAN MIGUEL EN EL ANO 1567). The information presented in these early documents provided the author with a basis for creating a series of hypotheses about the area as it existed in late prehistoric times. These hypotheses were then examined in the light of the evidence obtained from the archaeological survey itself.
