Los tiestos más pequeños y livianos pudieron transportarse en el marco de actividades de pastoreo y caza de camélidos.

También se reconocieron sectores donde las agrupaciones del material lítico tienden principalmente a la aleatoriedad, y que corresponden a episodios constructivos planificados.

Most of this is admirably up to date, and collectively it provides a panoramic vision of Andean prehistory. The writing is clear and free of jargon. Abundant illustrations accompany each case study and offer visual support for Tantaleán’s text. The book is perhaps best suited for those working outside the Andes or for nonspecialists. It would also be appropriate for undergraduates and for classes in comparative civilizations. However, it may disappoint investigators involved in Andean archaeology. Each of the seven cases treated in the volume is already well known, and Tantaleán offers few original observations. Understandably, he relies heavily on the archaeologists who worked most recently at each site. For example, his treatment of Caral summarizes the perspective of Ruth Shady, and the discussion of Sechín recapitulates the conclusions of Shelia and Tom Pozorski. Tantaleán rarely explores conclusions that are currently under debate or that are favored by the primary investigators but are not supported by evidence existing at the present time. In his desire to discuss social and political relations, Tantaleán frequently relies on positions that have yet to be confirmed with fieldwork. It is worth noting that in Jeffrey Quilter’s recent synthesis of Andean prehistory, the first two of Tantaleán’s examples—Caral and Sechín—are not considered to be states, and even Moche is argued to be problematic in this regard. Tantaleán’s characterization of Wari as the capital of an empire likewise remains a subject of contention among specialists. Tantaleán states that the main purpose of this volume is to highlight that the formation of each state generated a series of distinctive characteristics but also shared some common features. Many of the unique elements singled out by Tantaleán are far from surprising. For example, he found that states developed in contrasting geographic settings, thus suggesting that environmental determinism is not a crucial factor in the appearance of states. Moreover, he notes that, as would be expected, material culture varies in relationship to the available resources in each location, such as the Chimu culture’s preference for adobe architecture while the highland Wari capital is dominated by stone constructions. Tantaleán’s conclusions regarding shared features between the states are more interesting. He argues that the population of most Andean states was dispersed in villages and towns, although most had an urban center serving as its capital. The size and organization of these cities varied widely. Tantaleán also concludes that prehispanic Andean social practices did not clearly differentiate between politics and religion and that this linkage characterized Andean states of different ages and geographic locations. Related to this, every Andean state conducted massive rituals outdoors in large plazas ","PeriodicalId":17968,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Antiquity","volume":"34 1","pages":"448 - 450"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49240075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En relación a los mecanismos específicos de integración social, Pavlovic et al., muestran cómo los incas manejaron la integración social de una gran variedad de grupos locales en el valle del Aconcagua a través de ceremonias de comensalidad y rituales realizados en cumbres de montañas. Sin embargo, como da cuenta el capítulo de José L. Martínez, elementos utilizados en ceremonias de comensalidad incaica como los keros, podían trascender en su función y ser culturalmente apropiados por elites aimaras en asociación a las chullpas, con el fin de reforzar sus relaciones de poder dentro del imperio. Y continuando con el caso de las chullpas, Axel Nielsen relata cómo su uso y funcionalidad continuó durante la época incaica en la zona de Lípez, dando cuenta del mantenimiento de costumbres y simbolismo de los ayllus locales. Este libro es un gran aporte para “repensar” el estado Inca tanto en el Qullasuyu, como también a nivel de su estructura imperial global. Su principal contribución es plantearnos una serie de interrogantes para el futuro, en donde el gran desafío es generar modelos más amplios que busquen comprender los mecanismos de expansión incaicos bajo una perspectiva que trascienda el valle o la localidad de estudio. Si bien cada vez conocemos más acerca de la gran diversidad de modos de acción incaicos en lo económico, político y ritual, las fronteras nacionales actuales marcan mucho las diferencias de criterio y paradigmas de investigación aplicados. Otro tema relevante es que se aprecia cada vez con mayor claridad que la ocupación incaica inicial de este territorio se dio hacia comienzos del siglo quince, y esto debe llevarnos a replantear la linealidad de los modelos tradicionales de expansión imperial a partir del Cusco.

The results agree with what is expected for small-scale societies within the regional historical and archaeological framework. The recorded percentages show a diachronic increase toward higher frequencies of this injury among males than among females and subadults, but the differences are not statistically significant. Generally, the levels of violence remained relatively constant during the period studied. Most of the injuries reflect low levels of damage, which allows us to hypothesize that the objects causing the injuries would be elements of everyday life.
