The cultures thriving during the course of the millennia on the arid Peruvian South Coast between the valleys of Chincha and Yauca had a crucial impact on the history of the Central Andes in general. Important local cultures such as Paracas (ca. 800 - 250 BCE) and Nasca (ca. 250 BCE - 650 CE) are well known for rock carvings and ground drawings, but also for the extraordinary skills of their craftsmen in producing high-quality textiles and ceramics. The region also played a vital role in the formation and expansion of the pan-Andean empires of the Wari (ca. 650 - 1000 CE) and the Inca (ca.1470 - 1532 CE). Despite the South Coast's importance, relatively little is known about its settlement history. Thanks to a long-term archaeological project of the German Archaeological Institute, detailed data are now available for the northern part of the Rio Grande de Nasca drainage, a region well suited for a case study due to the abundance of comparatively well preserved archaeological remains. Based on these data 3,000 years of settlement history are being reconstructed in this volume. The settlement patterns of ten successive cultural phases show substantial changes in terms of settlement hierarchies and population development. Furthermore, the foci of settlement shifted. Due to the arid conditions in this region already minor fluctuations in absolute amounts and intra-annual distribution of precipitation have a significant impact on the agricultural potential. The question is therefore pursued whether past climate fluctuations may have been the principal trigger for changes in settlement behavior. For this purpose, analyses of archaeological data are compared to studies on climate history which suggest significant changes in precipitation patterns. Temporal correlations between important developments in settlement and climate could indicate a causal relation between both phenomena. While the limited and uneven resolution of the data impedes a definite assessment, the general trend seems to suggest that this was actually the case during some specific periods. The majority of major settlement shifts and demographic instabilities, however, do not temporally correlate with clearly traceable changes in climate.

German description: Die Kulturen, die uber die Jahrtausende an der Peruanischen Sudkuste zwischen den Talern von Chincha und Yauca bluhten, hatten grossen Einfluss auf die Geschichte der zentralen Anden insgesamt. Bedeutende lokale Kulturen, wie Paracas (ca. 800 - 250 v. Chr.) und Nasca (ca. 250 v. - 650 n. Chr.) sind weithin bekannt fur ihre Fels- und Bodenzeichnungen, aber auch fur die ausserordentliche Kunstfertigkeit ihrer Handwerker beim Produzieren von hochwertigen Textilien und Keramiken. Die Region spielte auch eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung und Expansion der Reiche der Wari (ca. 650 - 1000 n. Chr.) und Inka (ca.1470 - 1532 n. Chr.). Trotz der Bedeutung der Sudkuste ist relativ wenig uber ihre Siedlungsgeschichte bekannt. Dank eines archaologischen Langzeit-Projekts des Deutschen Archaologischen Instituts sind nun detaillierte Daten fur den nordlichen Teil des Rio Grande de Nasca-Gebietes verfugbar. Aufgrund des Reichtums an relativ gut erhaltenen archaologischen Uberresten ist diese Region besonders gut fur eine Fallstudie geeignet. Auf der Grundlage dieser Daten werden in diesem Buch 3.000 Jahre Siedlungsgeschichte rekonstruiert. Die Siedlungsmuster von zehn aufeinanderfolgenden Kulturphasen zeigen erhebliche Veranderungen in Bezug auf Siedlungshierarchien und Bevolkerungsentwicklung. Zudem haben sich die Siedlungsschwerpunkte verschoben. Aufgrund der Trockenheit in der Region haben bereits geringfugige Schwankungen in der Gesamtmenge und der jahreszeitlichen Verteilung von Niederschlagen einen erheblichen Einfluss auf das landwirtschaftliche Potential. Es wird daher der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit klimatische Schwankungen in der Vergangenheit der Hauptausloser fur Anderungen im Siedlungsverhalten gewesen sein konnten. Dazu werden Analysen archaologischer Daten mit Studien zur Klimageschichte verglichen, die auf erhebliche Veranderungen in den Niederschlagsmustern hindeuten. Ein zeitliches Zusammenfallen von wichtigen Entwicklungen in der Besiedlung und beim Klima konnte einen kausalen Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Phanomenen nahelegen. Die begrenzte und ungleichmassige Auflosung der Daten erlaubt zwar noch keine abschliessende Beurteilung, doch der allgemeine Trend scheint darauf hinzudeuten, dass dies tatsachlich wahrend einiger bestimmter Perioden tatsachlich der Fall war. Die Mehrheit der bedeutenden Siedlungsverschiebungen und demographischen Schwankungen fallt jedoch nicht zeitlich mit eindeutig nachweisbaren Klimaanderungen zusammen.Taal: Engels;Gewicht: 1,45 kg;Verschijningsdatum: februari 2016;ISBN10: 3954900785;ISBN13: 9783954900787; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2016.
