The observations align with previous studies that document a transition from camelid hunting to herding in other regions of the high Andes.

Analysis of these assemblages is centered on whether faunal characteristics can be used to: 1) distinguish assemblages produced by neighboring forager and food producer populations; 2) identify interaction between these populations and; 3) reflect information about the nature of these interactions. In this sample, measures of bone abundances, taxonomic richness and the presence of rare species can distinguish food producer from forager-created assemblages. High levels of compositional similarity and exploitation intensity associated with forager and farmer assemblages indicate consistent economic activity focused on dominant marketable animals. Differences in richness, bone abundances and, especially, skeletal part representation of common marketable prey reflect economic interactions marked by socioeconomic disparities.

Recent studies of cattle and caprines’ role in the development of inequality, hierarchy, and political authority in Southwest Asia have begun to productively incorporate the “symbolic” or “social” value of animals. Taking an action-oriented anthropological approach to theorizing value offers the possibility of investigating how herd animals’ value(s) shape political life, without making an <em>a priori</em> categorical division between the symbolic and economic.
