Klappentext zu „Political Landscapes of the Late Intermediate Period in the Southern Andes “
This book studies the relationship between pukaras and their surrounding landscape, focusing on the architectural and settlement variability registered in both contexts. It is the outcome of a symposium held at the XIX National Congress of Argentine Archaeology (San Miguel de Tucuman, August 8-12, 2016) entitled, "Pukaras, strategic settlements and dispersed settlements: Political landscapes of the Late Intermediate Period in the Southern Andes." Based on the topics discussed at the event, this book presents nine case studies covering a large geographic area within the Southern Andes (northwestern Argentina, northern Chile and southern Bolivia), and breaking the national barriers that tend to atomize pre-Hispanic landscapes.The respective chapters cover a wide range of themes: from architectural and settlement variability, ways to build and inhabit space, social segmentation and hierarchy; to endemic conflict, analysis of accessibility and visibility, spatiality and temporality of landscapes; as well as new dating. This book goes beyond the Late Intermediate Period (LIP) analyses from the perspective of fortified settlements and material evidence related to war, by placing the focus on how ancient political landscapes were constructed from the relation between the pukaras and other sites as part of the same territory.
The methodologies used include pedestrian surveys, photogrammetric surveys with UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) or drones, topographic and architectural surveys, excavations of households, ceramic and rock art analysis, and spatial analysis with geographic information systems (GISs). Given the numerous thematic interconnections between the contributions, the Editors have organized the chapters geographically, moving from south to north: from the southern valleys of Catamarca Province in Argentina to Lipez in the southern part of the Bolivian Altiplano, passing through the Calchaqui valleys of Catamarca, the puna and Quebrada de

She has been a PhD fellow at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina (CONICET) between 2009 and 2014 studying settlement patterns and the construction of landscapes in the Calchaqui Valleys of Argentina. Since 2005 she has been a researcher at the Yocavil Archaeological Project at the Ethnographic Museum "J. B. Ambrosetti" (UBA). Her research focuses on the study of the landscapes and pre-Hispanic architecture of farmer populations of the Argentine Northwest. She has published 17 articles in national and international scientific books and journals with peer review, as well as 15 presentations at national and international scientific meetings. Her works included use of remote sensing, GIS, settlement patterns, ceramic and rock art analysis. Catriel Greco holds a Bachelor´s degree in Anthropology (2007) and a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina (2012) , where he also worked as assistant teacher for 5 years.
