Ac- túan como entidades colaboradoras la Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, la Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro, El Colegio de Michoacán, la Universidad de Costa Rica, la Universidad de Guadalajara y la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Iztapalapa. La revista va dirigida a la comunidad científi ca que desde varias perspectivas científi cas se muestra interesada en los enfoques sociales, económicos, territoriales e históricos que posibilitan los estudios sobre el agua en el ámbito iberoamericano y mediterráneo. Agua y Territorio consta esencialmente de dos bloques defi nidos: el primero (el Dossier) está integrado por la publicación de artículos relacio- nados con una temática común. El segundo (la Miscelánea) contiene artículos de temática libre. Asimismo, se pueden enviar propuestas para reseñar libros publicados recientemente así como entrevistas de especial relevancia. Agua y Territorio considera tan solo trabajos originales que no hayan sido publicados anteriormente ni estén a punto de publicarse o evaluarse. Agua y Territorio quiere servir como un instrumento para la concertación entre los grupos sociales y los gobiernos que se ven involucrados en los numerosos confl ictos y disputas por la utilización del agua, la búsqueda de un nuevo modelo de desarrollo y la promoción de alternativas posibles para contener el deterioro de los ecosistemas. Por su temática y por la proyección iberoamericana y mediterránea de la revista, Agua y Territorio tiene una clara vocación internacional que se refl eja en su Consejo Asesor y de Redacción. Agua y Territorio centra su atención en varios aspectos vinculados al agua: el de las políticas públicas y la participación ciudadana, el de los modelos de desarrollo y medioambientales, el del paisaje, la memoria, la salud y el patrimonio hidráulico. Por ello, publica y difunde trabajos que desde diferentes vertientes y disciplinas alientan los intercambios de experiencias a uno y otro lado del Atlántico como refl ejo del contexto interna- cional en el que se ubica. Admite artículos en inglés, español, francés, italiano y portugués. Agua y Territorio pretende ser una plataforma de estudios sobre el agua capaz de recoger realidades muy diversas, con peculiaridades econó- micas, sociales, culturales y ambientales muy defi nidas y heterogéneas.

  • The Role of Alien Plants in the Natural Coastal Vegetation in Central-Northern Spain
    Biodiversity and Conservation 13: 2275–2293, 2004. # 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. The role of alien plants in the natural coastal vegetation in central-northern Spain JUAN ANTONIO CAMPOS, MERCEDES HERRERA*, IDOIA BIURRUN and JAVIER LOIDI Department of Plant Biology and Ecology, The University of the Basque Country, Apdo. 644, E-48080 Bilbao, Spain; *Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]; fax: +34-94- 4648500) Received 15 November 2002; accepted in revised form 4 August 2003 Key words: Alien plants, Baccharis halimifolia, Coastal vegetation, Habitats conservation, Invasive plants, Northern Spain, Phytosociology Abstract. Alien plants in coastal habitats and their influence on natural vegetation are studied. After 5 years working on this subject in the Basque Country and surrounding areas, a number of results from the coastal ecosystems are presented. These ecosystems are one of the most threatened and affected by the invasion of alien plants, especially shore dunes, saltmarshes and cliffs. These kinds of habitats, especially the dunes, experience significant pressure from human activities which favours the expansion of some of these species: Arctotheca calendula, Sporobolus indicus and Oe- nothera spp. The presence and abundance of these invasive plants and others such as Baccharis halimifolia, Cortaderia selloana, Spartina patens and Carpobrotus edulis in the plant communities in an area between the French border and the western part of the region of Cantabria have been studied. The degree of invasion of each plant in each syntaxonomic unit has been analysed. Glossary Alien plants Synanthropic species of exotic origin, deliberately or accidentally in- troduced. Archaeophytes Alien plants permanently established but older immigrants, before 1500 A.C.

  • Dance for Mother Lake on the Arid Titiqaqa Plateau: Observations from Fieldwork Seasons 1993–2005
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Apollo 122 Dance for Mother Lake on the Arid Titiqaqa Plateau: Observations from Fieldwork Seasons 1993–2005 Mary Louise Stone Independent Scholar, New Mexico, USA and Qamasa Weaving Insights Community, La Paz, Bolivia Introduction In the Andes Mountains’ high Titiqaqa plateau in Peru and Bolivia, vast expanses of dry earth stretch to distant mountains punctuated only by ichu, a spiky bunch grass, and t'ola, shrubs like sagebrush. Yet a golden high altitude glow tinges everything, and close to the ground, cactus bloom in dayglow pink and orange. The high desert presents intense challenges, yet over the centuries Titiqaqa plateau farmers and herders developed diverse strategies of water engineering, hardy seeds and microclimates (Yampara 1992). One characteristic Titiqaqa adaptation, I postulate, reveals a ritual relation with water highlighted by dance pilgrimages to Mother Lake, the life force in waters and lakes (Pan-Andean Gathering of the Uru People of Water, Iruhito, Bolivia, 2004). Fundamental desert routes are used by multiethnic pilgrims to her holy site of Lake Titiqaqa and modern large- scale celebrations in Copacabana, Bolivia, and Puno, Peru, and have potential parallels in the remains of earlier state-sponsored pilgrimages of the Inka and Tiwanaku civilisations and even earlier Chiripa community Archaeological Review from Cambridge 34.1 Mary L. Stone | 123 gatherings (Bauer and Stanish 2001; Janusek 2008; Stanish 2003). Archaeological and ethnographic sources indicate that ritual activity involving the veneration of water has been important in this high desert plateau for millennia. In the renowned reciprocity of the Andes, many residents of the vast desert today unite, and may have united in the past, in large spiritual festivities to give art and dance pilgrimages to Mother Lake for her continued gift of life.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The intent and purpose of this book is to shed light on the ambiguous history of the cultures and history of the west coast of South America, more specifically what is now called Peru, and the islands that lie to the west, as in Easter Island, Tahiti, New Zealand and Hawaii. What the latter 4 have in common, is that they all clearly, whether one accesses western driven academia, or the oral traditions of the Native people, is a clear and historic past, that of the so called Polynesian people. Scholars disagree greatly on the common root of these people, and much of what is written is either at odds with the oral traditions of the people themselves, if and when the latter is or has been consulted. Map of the area under discussion in this book The lack of western academics’ inclusion of the knowledge of Native people is hardly restricted to Polynesia, which is itself a name that the indigenous people never called nor call themselves, but a geographic label, and it is an example, symbol and symptom of colonialism. All of these “Polynesian”, meaning simply “many islands” people have an ancient tradition that speaks of a time when a light skinned people, with reddish or auburn hair and in some accounts green eyes either lived alongside them, or were indeed an ancestral line from which they draw at least part of their genetic inheritance. The coast of Peru is to this very day a place where ancestral skeletons are found, often with reddish hair still attached to their scalps.

Myers Humans have lived in the Andean region, characterized by proximity to the Andean mountains, for millenia. The general theory for human migration is passage via the Bering Strait from Siberia into North America (Dryomov et al. 2015). Divergence between groups of North America and South America occurred around 14.75 kyr (Lindo et al. 2018). In South America, the earliest indication of hunter-gatherers was found to be 12 kyr (e.g. Gnecco et al. 1997, Aceituno et al. 2013). The populations in this area are believed to have transitioned to permanent occupation of the region in the early Holocene (Pearsall 2008), by 7 kyr (Haas et al. 2017), signified by a shift to cultivation of plants and the presence of women and children in higher altitude archaeological remains.

The specific characteristics of rivers and lakes considering water-level fluctuations are compared, Introduction with respect to catchment linkages, temporal patterns, and hydraulic forces of flooding and drawdown. In rivers, the patterns of water-level fluctuations (the The influences of floodpulses on element cycles, floodpulse) have been recognized both for ecological biodiversity, and adaptations of lake biota are analyzed, and biodiversity concepts (Junk et al., 1989; Tockner and the importance of multi-annual flooding cycles et al., 2000; Junk & Wantzen, 2004) and for is highlighted. The degree by which these water-level management and restoration schemes (Sparks et al., fluctuations influence lake ecosystems strongly depends 1998; Schiemer et al., 1999).
