Randall Haas, Jr. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am truly grateful to the innumerable individuals who helped me on the path to composing this dissertation. My committee including Drs. Mark Aldenderfer, Steven Kuhn, Mary Stiner, and Stephen Lansing have offered exceptional guidance, insight, patience, and opportunities throughout the course of this work. I am particularly grateful to my advisors, Drs. Aldenderfer and Kuhn. Dr. Aldenderfer introduced me to Andean archaeology when he invited me to assist in a subsurface testing project in the Rio Ramis region, Puno in 2008. My subsequent work in the region would not have been possible without the many intellectual and logistical doors that he opened. Dr. Kuhn has provided a constant source of wisdom especially as I endeavored to view hunter-gatherer archaeology through the lens of complex systems theory. Many of the theoretical ideas and mathematical treatments have origins in conversations with him whether in his office, at professional meetings, or by video conferencing across the country or globe. As archaeological data and politics created twists and turns in the direction of my research, many other School of Anthropology faculty members contributed guidance along the way. In particular, Drs. David Killick, Barbara Mills, John Olsen, David Raichlen, Michael Schiffer, and James Watson have been particularly influential in helping me work through theoretical, methodological, and logistical problems. Dr. Greg Hodgins, Becky Watson, Marcus Lee, and others at the Arizona Accelerator Mass Spectrometry lab assisted with 14C processing. This research has also benefited from conversations with many other faculty members and fellow students inside and outside of the classroom. The 2007 School of Anthropology cohort and other fellow students too numerous to mention individually have offered incredible friendship, support, and intellectual stimulation throughout this process. I look forward to many more years of friendship and collaboration with them. Field seasons long and short were made possible with support from the Collasuyo Archaeological Research Institute (CARI). For field and laboratory assistance, sharing materials, and sharing in great memories, I thank Dr. Elizabeth Arkush, Cecilia Chavez Justo, Erika Brandt, Karl la Favre, Dr. Elizabeth Klarich, Cynthia Klink, Brieanna Langlie, Dr. Abigail Levine, Dr. Aimme Plourde, Dr. Carol Schultze, Dr. Charles Stanish, Dr. Matthew Warwick, and Matthew Velasco. Ceci Chavez analyzed the ceramics, and Brieanna analyzed a sample of macrobotanical remains recovered from Soro Mik'aya Patjxa. Brieanna also generously allowed us to use her brand new, custom-built flotation machine. I would like to extend a special thank you to my field mentor and great friend, Dr. Nathan Craig. Dr. Craig patiently introduced me to Andean fieldwork, took me to visit remote sites, and provided council at various stages of my research. I am a great admirer of the depth and breadth of his work. Many of the findings presented here are built on foundations laid by his impressive efforts. Other Peruvian colleagues have supported field efforts. Carlos Viviano Llave served as the project co-director for the Proyecto Arcaico Tardio del Ilave (PATI). His hard work, knowledge of bureaucracy, and good spirit was indispensable. I thank Dr. Rafael Vega Centano for putting me in touch with Carlos. The community of Mulla Fasiri permitted excavation on their land, and the communities of Totorani and Ilave made me feel welcome during my stay. I 5 am immeasurably grateful to Albino Pilco Quispe, Virginia Incacoña, Mateo Incacoña Huaraya, Daniel Pilco Incacoña, Nestor Condori Flores, Dario Pilco Incacoña, and Karen Pilco Incacoña who provided support in the field and laboratory. They patiently helped me better understand and navigate the cultural and natural landscapes of the region, and they became some of my greatest teachers and friends along the way. Field research was supported by a National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant (award BCS-1311626) and an American Philosophical Society Lewis and Clark Fund for Exploration and Field Research. Additional financial support for radiocarbon dating was provided by the School of Anthropology and the Graduate Professional and Student Council at The University of Arizona. This document was drafted during the support of a Marshall Foundation dissertation writing fellowship. On a more personal note, I express my gratitude to the many family members and loved ones who selflessly supported me in many ways on the path to graduate school and completing this dissertation. My mother, Vicki Rush; my father, Randy Haas Sr.; my brother, Jared Haas; my partner Lauren Hayes; and many others including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends provided the inspiration and encouragement to pursue this unconventional adventure. Daisy and Nellie probably also deserve acknowledgment for their patience and uncanny ability to keep spirits high. 6 Dedicated to the people of Soro Mik'aya Patjxa. 7 CONTENTS Contents...........................................................................................................................................7 Abstract..........................................................................................................................................11 Introductory Statement...................................................................................................................12 Literature Review...........................................................................................................................18 Human Behavior and Settlement-Size Variation.......................................................................19 Univariate Statistical Structure and Its Interpretation...............................................................20 The Statistical Structure of Human Settlement-Size Variation and Its Explanation.................30 Hunter-Gatherer Site Formation and Settlement-Size Variation: Five Models.........................35 Independent Residential Move Model..................................................................................37 Social-Bias Model................................................................................................................39 Niche-Construction Model...................................................................................................42 Environmental Structure Model...........................................................................................46 Geomorphic Process Model.................................................................................................47 Archaic Hunter-Gatherers of the Lake Titicaca Basin and their Context.................................49 References Cited............................................................................................................................54

Director©s Statement for 1999/2000 1. Initial Goals and Purposes For more than two decades, the Institute for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research (ISBER) – formerly the Community and Organization Research Institute (CORI) – has served as the campus ORU for sponsored research in the social sciences and, to a lesser extent, the humanities and other units of the university. ISBER's original charge was to “serve as a major resource for basic research in the social sciences,” encouraging “faculty participation in interdisciplinary research.” With ISBER's absorption of the Social Process Research Institute (SPRI) in 1990, ISBER grew rapidly and became even more diverse in terms of client base, a trajectory which has accelerated in recent years.

Vincent chamussyi Invesitagador asociado a CNRS - Université Paris I [email protected] RES um EN Todos los tipos de armas no se utilizaron de la misma manera y al mismo tiempo durante la prehistoria del área centro-andina. El estudio de su invención o re-invención (o primera ocurrencia en una parte dada del mundo, lo cual es casi sinónimo), su uso y su evolución, que nunca ha sido hecho de forma completa hasta la fecha, proporciona informaciones fundamentales sobre las sociedades que las utilizaron, sus relaciones mutuas y su medio ambiente. No obstante, la dificultad de diferenciar las armas de guerra de las de cacería y de las herramientas es recurrente. Entre las armas arrojadizas, sostenemos que la mayoría ha sido usada para la caza y el ritual, y que pocas han sido empleadas como armas de guerra hasta los Incas. PALABRAS CLAVE : Andes, armas, guerra, caza, herramienta, símbolo. ABSTRACT All types of weapons were not used in the same way and at the same time during the prehistory of the Central Andean Area. The study of their invention, or re-invention (or first occurrence, which is almost the same) , use and evolution which has never been carried out so far, brings us crucial information on the type of society who used them, their mutual relationship and with their environment. Nevertheless, the difficulty to distinguish between war weapons, hunting weapons and domestic tools is recurrent.

  • As Sacred Places on the Tibetan Plateau
    cavess as Sacred e Places on the Tibetan Plateau b y mark aldenderfer lthough most of us think of Tibet as a high v plateau riven by high mountain chains wide open to the skies, it has a deep, hidden, and underground dimension as well—numerous caves with extensive dark zones. Much of the Aplateau near Lhasa has a limestone geology, where natural processes create caverns and rock shelters. Many caves and rock shelters in Tibet have also been created by people. For the past two millennia at least, rock faces have been hollowed and used for domestic purposes and, more commonly, as shelters for monks, lamas, and other religious figures. Indeed, the large a majority of caves on the plateau, both natural and artificial, are key elements in the sacred geography of Tibetan Buddhism. 8 volume 47, number 3 expedition c es Mark Aldenderfer c ofthemesa. beendugintotheface have caves Tibet many inwestern At Piyang aves www .m use um.up e nn.e d u/expedition u/expedition 9 within them. To better understand these caves I turned to indigenous Tibetan and Buddhist thought for insight into how caves are perceived. Tibetans, like most people around the world, categorize the natural and built envi- ronment. Mountains, lakes, rivers, boulders, vistas, and caves have symbolic and sacred meanings. Ethnographers of the Himalayas have noted a duality of sacred categories—a fundamental distinction between up into the mountains and down into the lowlands below the peaks or beneath the surface of water. Mountains are the abode of gods and deities in Despite the importance of caves to both pre-Buddhist and both Tibetan Buddhist and pre-Buddhist belief systems, while Buddhist belief systems, we know surprisingly little of the spirits live beneath the water.
