Evaluando la frontera Pacajes-Carangas para el Período Intermedio tardío (1.100-1.450 D.C.) en el altiplano Boliviano central a partir de análisis de pastas cerámicas

Abstract

This paper evaluates the Pacajes-Carangas boundary in the Bolivian central altiplano during the Late Intermediate Period (ca. AD 1,100-1,450), based on petrographic and RXD characterization of ceramic pastes from burial tower or chullperío sites. Our results suggest an emphasis toward local distinction and cross-boundary fluency, differing from the situation described for later moments by ethno-historical accounts.
