Ranging from the earliest cities in the Americas to Inca metropolises, millennia of urban human history along the Andes have left large and striking sites scattered across the country. But cities and monuments do not exist in solitude. Peru’s ancient sites are connected by a vast circulatory system of roads that connected every corner of the country, and thousands of square miles beyond its current borders. The Inca road system, or Qhapaq Ñan, is particularly famous; thousands of miles of trails linked the empire from modern- day Colombia to central Chile, crossing some of the world’s tallest mountain ranges and driest deserts. The Inca state recognized the importance of its road system, and dotted the trails with rest stops, granaries, and religious shrines. Inca roads even served directly religious purposes in pilgrimages and a system of ritual pathways that divided the empire (Ogburn 2010). This project contributes to scholarly knowledge about the Inca and Pre-Hispanic Andean civilizations by studying the roads which stitched together the Inca state.

  • La Paz Tiwanaku
    LA PAZ La Paz, the city, that touches the sky, is an apt description. Located high above sea level, La Paz sits in a bowl surrounded by the high altiplano. La Paz as it grows climbs the hills resulting in varying elevations from 3000 to 4100. Overlooking the city is towering triple-peaked Illimani, always snow covered and majestic. La Paz is the legislative capital of Bolivia, the largest city. The legal capital, home of the Supreme Court, is in Sucre. Not as often visited as other countries, Bolivia is the most Indian country in South America, and you'll experience the language, primarily Quechua, the culture and customs first hand. TIWANAKU "Bolivia’s most impressive archeological site is located 40 miles west of La Paz. Tiwanaku (also spelled Tiahuanaco) was the center of one of the America’s most ancient city-building cultures, one that emerged around 600 BC and endured for 1,800 years before suddenly disappearing. The megalithic sun gate, part of the Kalasasaya ritual platform, is thought to be a solar calendar. This solid andesite structure (estimated to weigh 44 tons) stands as testimony to the genius of the Tiwanaku’s builders. Other large blocks at the site weigh as much as 25 tons each, and were transported at least 25 miles from the most likely quarry location. Although Tiwanaku is located approximately 20 miles from Lake Titicaca today, it is likely that the city was built at or very near the lake shore. One theory suggests the decline of Tiwanaku was tied to a decline in lake levels that stranded the city far from water.

Abstract - There are indications of transatlantic cultural contacts in Prehistoric Times: Solutrean artifacts (about 20,000 years ago) are found in United States archeological sites and also cave wall inscriptions which may be a early alphabet and are identical all over the World are abundant in southern France and northern Spain. In the present paper, close similarities of a Tiwanaku (Titikaka Lake, Bolivia) “ritual ear” and another “ritual ears” observed in Alberite Dolmen (southern Spain, 7,000 years ago) are described. Functionality of these stone carved “ears” is related to amplifying voice and communication between shaman/priest and prayers. Thus, a religious role is put forward for these “ears”, but not excluding other functionalities.

  • Tiwanaku Ceramic Style and Its Influence on Theory, Interpretation, and Conclusions of Andean Archaeologists
    TIWANAKU CERAMIC STYLE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THEORY, INTERPRETATION, AND CONCLUSIONS OF ANDEAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS Beth M. Haupt ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the interpretation of ceramic style in the context of Andean Archaeology. I will focus specifically on the ceramics of the Tiwanaku people that occupied the Lake Titicaca Basin for nearly a thousand years. Andean scholars have used two general approaches to the interpretation of Tiwanaku material culture, one emphasizing a bottom-up or local perspective and the other emphasizing a top-down capital-centric perspective. This project evaluates how scholars have used remains of ceramics to analyze the emergence and spread of Tiwanaku influence within the context of these two theoretical frameworks, and how each perspective has contributed to a better understanding of Tiwanaku civilization. INTRODUCTION The content of this paper examines two major approaches to interpreting the ceramic style of the Tiwanaku culture. The capital centric approach and local perspective approach. It will focus in the location of Tiwanaku, near the present city of La Paz, Bolivia, and Lukurmata, a site with major Tiwanaku influence on the Lake Titicaca basin, located several hours walk away from the core site of Tiwanku. These two approaches are pertinent to the field of Andean archaeology because they have resulted in two very different interpretations of the Tiwanaku civilization. How does Tiwanaku corporate art affect the conclusions that archaeologists make on the Tiwanaku culture? This paper involves a discussion of the capital centric and local perspective approaches and the interpretations they form on the Tiwanaku culture. Figure 1 Haupt 1 Tiwanaku, a site near the present day city of La Paz, Bolivia, was a site that distinctly appealed to Andean specialists Max Uhle and Wendell Bennett.

  • Evaluation of the Nature of Tiwanaku Presence in the Cochabamba Valley of Bolivia: a Ceramic Analysis of the Pirque Alto Site (CP-11)
    Plunger UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research X (2007) Evaluation of the Nature of Tiwanaku Presence in the Cochabamba Valley of Bolivia: A Ceramic Analysis of the Pirque Alto Site (CP-11) Elizabeth M. Plunger Faculty Sponsor: Timothy L. McAndrews, Department of Sociology/ Archaeology ABSTRACT Some of the most important unanswered questions about Andean prehistory center around the expansive nature of the polities that dominated the area before European contact. Tiwanaku proves to leave an especially puzzling record of how and why it established peripheral settlements in different ecological regions. Relatively little is known about the economic, political, and social relationships most of these settlements maintained with the core region. This paper seeks to address these issues as they relate to Tiwanaku settlements in the Cochabamba Valley of central Bolivia. Through the systematic analysis and comparison of decorative elements and quantities of ceramic types from different cultural periods, I have determined that there is a definite degree of interaction between the Tiwanaku core in the Titicaca Basin and the Pirque Alto site in the Cochabamba Valley. INTRODUCTION Figure 1. The Tiwanaku Core Region: The Tiwanaku and Katari Valleys (After Janusek 2004:55) The Tiwanaku polity and its associated cultural remains have been the subject of fascination and debate since at least the time of the Spanish chroniclers. As systematic research began in the late 19th century with figures such as Max Uhle and Adolph Bandelier, one of the first questions to arise was the relationship of the core area of Tiwanaku culture (the Tiwanaku and Katari Valleys in the southern Titicaca Basin- see Figure 1.) to sites in coastal valleys and interior lowlands with significant assemblages of Tiwanaku-style artifacts (see Figure 2).

  • Raised-Bed Irrigation at Tiwanaku, Bolivia
    RAISED-BED IRRIGATION AT TIWANAKU, BOLIVIA Introduction The Bolivian Altiplano is a high-elevation (over 12,000 feet above sea level), seemingly inhospitable environ- ment. At first glance, it appears an unlikely locale for a flourishing empire capable of supporting a large popu- lation. Yet for approximately 600 years, the Tiwanaku Empire thrived on the Altiplano. The Empire rose about 400 AD, fed by local abundance - fish from the lake Titicaca (the world’s highest navigable lake), meat from llamas and alpacas pastured on high plateaus, and potatoes and other crops grown in raised- bed fields fed by irrigation channels and drained by massive ditches. Like other empires, Tiwanaku’s expansion depended on abundant food production, and for over seven centuries, it regularly produced food surpluses. These surpluses were a product of ingenious irrigation systems. Map 1. General Map of the Lake Titicaca region. According to Andean religion the creator emerged from Lake Titicaca to shape the earth and the first people. Because of its sacred nature, the lake’s shores are ringed with the ruins of small shrines and temples, some dating as far back as 700 BC. Researchers think that Tiwanaku (the city) was originally one of these small religious centers. Tiwanaku, the Community But in the 6th century, because of the political power of the Tiwanaku people, Tiwanaku became a prize pilgrim- age center. Many of these pilgrims traveled long distances, crossing the Titicaca’s blue waters on reed crafts. Then they walked due east over the grassy plains of the altiplano toward the blue-and-white peaks of the Andes (see Illustration 2).

  • Thermal Analysis of Tiwanaku Raised Field Systems in the Lake Titicaca Basin of Bolivia
    Journal of Archaeological Science 1989,16,233-263 Thermal Analysis of Tiwanaku Raised Field Systems in the Lake Titicaca Basin of Bolivia Alan L. Kolata’ and Charles Ortloff’ (Received 9 June 1988, revised manuscript accepted 12 October 1988) Raised field systems of agriculture in seasonally or perennially inundated landscapes have received increasing attention from scholars involved in the analysis of prehistoric agricultural intensification in the New World. This paper discussesthe morphology and function of raised fields associated with the Tiwanaku civilization on the southern rim of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. The thermal properties, and specifically, the heat storage capacity of raised fields in this high altitude environment are analysed by means of an ANSYS finite element computer model. The analysis concludes that enhanced heat storage capacity was an essential design element of raised field agriculture in the Andean altiplano, and that this thermal effect served to mitigate the chronic hazard of frost damage to maturing crops in this rigorous environment. An experimental verification of this conclusion based on the performance of reconstructed raised fields subjected to severe sub-freezing conditions is briefly described. Keywords: AGRICULTURE, TECHNOLOGY, HYDROLOGY, RAISED FIELDS, SOUTH AMERICA, ANDES, BOLIVIA, COMPUTER MODELING. Introduction The ability of irrigation agriculture to support large populations and underwrite the agrarian economy of state level society has long been recognized. Most historical and interpretive studies of agricultural reclamation have been concerned with the technologi- cal, sociological, and political implications of hydraulic agriculture in arid lands (Wittfogel, 1938, 1957). The interplay between social institutions, political organization, and agrarian economy based on artificial water distribution has been the subject of a large body of literature (Steward, 1955; Boserup, 1965; Sanders & Price, 1968; Fernea, 1970; Price, 1971; Sanders, 1972; Mitchell, 1973; Downing & Gibson, 1974 and many others).

  • Late-Holocene Atmospheric Lead Deposition in the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes Colin A
    The Holocene 18,2 (2008) pp. 353–359 Late-Holocene atmospheric lead deposition in the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes Colin A. Cooke,1,2* Mark B. Abbott1,3 and Alexander P. Wolfe2 ( 1Department of Geology and Planetary Science, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh PA 15260, USA; 2Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton AB T6G 2E3, Canada; 3Section of Anthropology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh PA 15206, USA) Received 1 February 2007; revised manuscript accepted 24 July 2007 Abstract: The analysis of lead (Pb) in lake-sediment cores is a useful method to reconstruct local histories of Pb pollution. Here, we use Pb concentration profiles from lake sediments to reconstruct local trajectories of pre- Colonial smelting from three metallurgical centres in the South American Andes: the Morococha mining district, Peru; the Bolivian Altiplano around Lake Titicaca; and the silver-mining centre of Potosí, Bolivia. The earliest evidence for Pb enrichment from smelting is on the Altiplano beginning ~AD 400, coincident with the rise of the pre-Incan Tiwanaku and Wari Empires. Coeval with the collapse of these Empires ~AD 1000, there is a dramatic decrease in Pb pollution on the Altiplano, suggesting metallurgical activity was closely tied to the Tiwanaku state. In contrast, metallurgy at Morococha, Peru and Potosí, Bolivia began ~AD 1000–1200, likely as the result of the diaspora generated by the collapses of Tiwanaku and Wari. The independent chronologies of these records suggest asynchronous metallurgical activity between mining centres, and local-scale control of mineral resources. Following Inca conquest of the Andes ~AD 1450, strong increases in Pb are noted at all three study sites, suggesting an increase in silver production to meet Inca imperial demand.

  • Myth and Memory at the Site of Tiwanaka, Bolivia
    The Making of Place : Myth and Memory at the site of Tiwanaku, Bolivia Leslie A. Friedman Architectural Conservator Los Angeles, California, USA [email protected] Abstract. The sacred site of Tiwanaku, Bolivia, the first major city-state in the Central Andes, has, for almost 3,000 years, been appropriated for various intents by the Inca, the Spanish, the Bolivian state, European travelers, spiritualists, and the indigenous Aymara people who claim the World Heritage site as their ancestral home. Investing the site with meanings, myths, memories, each group has created – or re- created – the spirit of the site of Tiwanaku. Today, the site of Tiwanaku continues to be a vortex of competing claims and a location for multiple intangible heritages, such as Aymara cultural ceremonies and modern music videos; a newly- created solstice festival that is held yearly at the site; and, arguably, the rituals of archaeology and world heritage. This paper traces the making of place and heritage: how, from its inception through today, multiple histories and collective memories have physically altered the site of Tiwanaku, impacting its excavation, conservation, and presentation; and how intangible acts shape the tangibility of place. The World Heritage site of Tiwanaku, located near the border between Bolivia and Peru, dominated the Central Andes between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1000, its political and cultural influence spreading far into what is present day Peru, Chile and Argentina. Utilized by the Inca in the 15th century and appropriated to justify their own powerful empire; a source of awe and building material to the conquering Spanish in the 16th century (who by dismantling the site also sought to destroy the myths and historic memory associated with it); the subject of inspired travelers’ accounts for hundreds of years; the focus of Bolivian pride since the 20th century; and more recently, the symbolic location of Aymara identity, the site of Tiwanaku exemplifies the 1 concept of “place-making”, as it has been continually created and re- created for thousands of years.

  • Understanding Tiwanaku: Conquest, Colonization, and Clientage in the South Central Andes
    Understanding Tiwanaku: Conquest, Colonization, and Clientage in the South Central Andes ALAN L. KOLATA UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO ROM THE PERSPECTIVE of the south central and southern Andes, a recon­ Fsideration of the horizon concept and its meaning could not, perhaps, have come at a bettlr time. Only a few years ago there would have been precious little new data concerning the nature and impact ofTiwanaku in the cultural history of the Andes. Today that situation is changing dramatically. Although the archaeology of Tiwanaku has been discussed and com­ mented upon continuously since the days of Max Uhle, the number of substantive field projects designed to explore systematically the nature of the Tiwanaku polity is unfavorably disproportionate to the slew of specula­ tion that currently passes for our understanding of that ancient state. It seems that Tiwanaku has been admired, remarked upon, and then subtly, if, at times, unwittingly, dismissed, simply because there was nothing new to say. However, the past ten years have witnessed a renaissance of interest and of scholarly work on the complex phenomenon that was Tiwanaku. Recent field projects in southern Peru, northern Chile, and western Bolivia promise to alter radically current perceptions regarding Tiwanaku's role in the geopo­ litics of the ancient Andean world. Fresh, compelling interpretations of the political economy of Tiwanaku are forthcoming and, for the first time in a very long time, these interpretations will be embedded in conceptual frame­ works supported by a newly generated corpus of primary field data. Within the limited scope of this paper, I can only characterize in summary fashion the nature of these new data, and outline, in schematic form, the general contours of these emerging interpretive frameworks.
