Comparative Perspectives on the Archaeology of Coastal South America
Author: Robyn E. CutrightPublisher: Center for Comparative Arch
ISBN: 1877812889
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Thirteen papers by archaeologists from North and South America on the archaeology of coastal Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. The authors have all emphasized comparative approaches to prehispanic societies along the Pacific coast. They give preference neither to high theory nor to case-specific empirical details, but rather attempt to answer theoretically important research questions with appropriate methodologies and empirical datasets--ones that are amenable to a broad comparative view.
Early State Formation in Central Madagascar

Book Description
Distant Madagascar¿l¿île au bout du monde¿the island at the end of the world¿has many lessons to teach. The ancestors of the Malagasy people established themselves at least 1500 years ago. Time again since their arrival, the Malagasy created new kinds of political communities. This study concerns the indigenous state of Imerina in the central highlands. Archaeological survey and excavations in the western Avaradrano area of Imerina provide detailed information on 258 archaeological sites in an 120 sq km area north of modern Antananarivo. The first pioneering villages, established by AD 1200, developed into small hierarchical polities by AD 1400. After several centuries of growth and conflict, the Merina ruler Andrianampoinimerina sanctioned changes in the organization of the kingdom of Ambohimanga¿in its ideologies, internal political structure, military, market system, and even agricultural system¿which created a new and more complex system around AD 1790. This polity expanded to control most of Madagascar by the early 19th century. These changes are manifested in settlements on the ground. This study uses new methods for building archaeological chronologies, using aerial images to assess archaeological sites, and estimating populations, of interest to archaeologists. Its perspective on state formation will be of interest to anthropologists and historians, to those with diverse perspectives on the evolution of complex cultural phenomena, and to those who simply wish to understand Madagascar.
