Ancient Civilizations of the
Andes
The Andes have always held the aura of mystery and the unknown. Perhaps it's the fact that
over a period of thousands of
years many civilizations have flourished hidden deeply in the endless valleys of this vast
mountain range. The fragments that
remain provide wonderous clues, from which we can only guess at the cultures and people
that once inhabited these regions.
Ancient
Raised Field Agriculture: Applied Archaeology in the Bolivian Amazon
Until about 30 years ago, Western academic opinion agreed that the Amazon Basin could
never have sustained large populations; due to the limitations of a tropical environment,
the area could support only hunting and gathering and slash-and-burn agriculture.
Subsequent archaeological research proved this opinion wrong. A joint "applied
archaeology" project involving the Inter-American Foundation, the Parroquia of San
Ignacio, the Bolivian Institute of Archaeology, and the University of Pennsylvania Museum
of Anthropology and Archaeology has developed an experimental program to put raised-field
agriculture back into use.
