| Summary |
"Comparison of 'capital-centric' and local household perspectives using a 1,500-year-long chronology of pottery, artifacts, and architecture at Lukurmata identifies Tiwanaku as a State rather than a trade or religious network. The greatest changes occurred in shape, size, layout, and diversity of household buildings; domestic pottery remained relatively stable"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. http://www.loc.gov/hlas |
