Data from domestic contexts can be used to address significant anthropological research questions. Archaeological investigations
in the Andes (areas once incorporated into the Inka empire, including northwestern Argentina, highland Bolivia, northern Chile,
Ecuador, and Peru), like many parts of the world, rely on ethnohistory and ethnography to interpret the archaeological remains
of domestic areas and make inferences about households. In this review I describe the ideas about Andean households that archaeologists
are using and how domestic remains are being examined to infer social, economic, and political processes. Household archaeology
in the Andes requires ethnoarchaeology and theory-building in order to understand the complex social dynamics at the foundation
of ancient Andean societies. 相似文献

Parental grief is an intense emotion shaped and mediated by cultural attitudes toward death, the strength of parent-child attachment, the age of the deceased child, and the role of children in society. Despite some assertions that high infant mortality or economic hardship may lessen parental grief, cross-cultural studies show that child death often causes emotional distress to parents, in particular mothers. Funerary treatments of children, especially infants, are often simplified, contradicting more immediate and immaterial expressions of parental grief that cannot be studied archaeologically. In this study, I examine the funerary treatment of children in ancient Andean Tiwanaku society (A.D. 500–1100). I assess the use of ritual practices and objects associated with children’s burials as indicative of children’s social identities and parental mourning. The nature of grave assemblages in regard to different ages of the children suggests that parental attitudes toward their children changed over the course of childhood. The choice of offerings seems to reflect parental attachment to and recognition of the child’s life. Modifications of ceramic vessels point to the intimate mourning gestures of grieving mothers who sought to provide their deceased children with the necessary offerings to assume their place among the community of venerated ancestors. This study draws on ethnographic, psychological, and ethnohistoric sources of parent-child bonds in the Andes and beyond to investigate children’s burials not merely as reflective of childhood and children’s role in society but as the material record of parental attachment and emotion in the past. 相似文献

本文从全球史的视角对中国和欧洲两千年来的历史发展脉络进行了对比探讨。本文注意到在前工业化时期欧洲历史表现出某种周期性循环的特征。地理大发现后,陆上和海上远程贸易帮助欧洲打破了经济发展的马尔萨斯式生态资源瓶颈。中国历史发展显现出以朝代为单位的短时段的周期性循环和跨越数个朝代的长时段的周期性历史变迁。明以来中国社会文化心态的“内卷化”,清中叶后的人口剧增,形成中国人文和经济地理环境的总体恶化态势,再加上中国未能及时大规模参与当时正形成的全球性生产与贸易体系的经济活动,终酿成19世纪末叶的贫弱落后状况。全球史为中国“封建社会”长期停滞问题提供了一条新的解释路径。 相似文献

Experimental results and interpretation of temperature, pressure and wind velocity measurements, performed with an instrumented balloon, are presented. The balloon, an open-type stratospheric one was launched from Mendoza (Argentina), near the Andes mountains. The data analysis suggests the presence of a large amplitude quasi-inertial gravity wave, with intrinsic period close to 0.5 days, and vertical wavelength of around 1.7 km just below the tropopause. The possible orographic origin of this wave is discussed. A Fourier analysis confirms the existence of this mode, simultaneously in the temperature and in the wind velocity components. A hodograph of the zonal and meridional wind components shows the expected counterclockwise sense of rotation of the horizontal velocity with increasing altitude, corresponding to a long period gravity wave, in the southern hemisphere.It is found that the vertical wind velocity variations measured by the anemometer, are mainly due to buoyancy force variations induced by the wave on the open stratospheric balloon. The vertical profile obtained by the anemometer is anticorrelated with the rate of ascent or descent of the gondola. As a consequence, the wave induced velocity is very difficult to obtain using these balloons, contrary to the case of radiosonde balloon data. The differences in the response of open stratospheric and radiosonde-type balloons to the presence of internal gravity waves may be explained by their different design and material characteristics. 相似文献

A comparative examination of food practices is useful for assessing the nature of diverse forms of social inequality. This article examines three key contexts in which to evaluate the relationship between social differentiation and food practices in the Andes: early complex societies, pre-Columbian states and nonstate complex societies, and colonial societies. A review of these distinct contexts suggests that social and subsistence change may follow different rhythms and that food-related differentiation, just like other forms of social differentiation, is neither consistently augmented in a scalar fashion in relation to “degrees” of social complexity, nor is it in all cases a direct indicator of economic inequality. 相似文献

Although the Archaic Period of the south-central Andes is not well-known beyond Latin America, there is much of interest in it to archaeologists working with foraging populations. Like the North American Archaic and European Mesolithic, the Archaic in the region is characterized by ethnic differentiation, changes in the scale and frequency of residential mobility, resource intensification and specialization, and population growth. The origin and evolutionary trajectory of these trends are discussed within the context of the development of ecological complementarity, a strategy of land use that exploits the vertically stratified distribution of resources in the Andean environment. 相似文献

Attention to human–environment relationships in the central Andes has a long history. Although the area is not a neat microcosm
of the globe, wholly representative of worldwide trends in the archaeology of human–environment interactions, it has been
the site of both seminal investigations in archaeology and a substantial body of recent work that investigates themes of broad
archaeological relevance. Specifically, central Andean environments have been variously conceived as structuring, modified,
and sacred. These approaches to some extent reflect broad trends in archaeology, while also suggesting directions in which
the archaeology of human–environment interactions is moving and highlighting archaeology’s relevance to discussions of contemporary
human–environment interactions. This article characterizes concepts that are key for describing central Andean environments
and considers the ways in which the particular ecology of the central Andes has informed archaeological research in the region.
The example of the central Andes highlights the importance of understanding environments as dynamic, considering both geomorphic
and anthropogenic contributors to that dynamism, and examining both ecological (“environment”) and ideological (“landscape”)
implications of archaeological landscapes. 相似文献
