Introduction -- pt. 2. Pigment, clay, salt and stone -- pt. 3. Metals.From stone for building to metal ores for ceremonial display, extracting mineral resources from the earth played a central role in ancient Andean civilizations. Despite this, the sites that supported these activities have rarely been a source of interest to archaeologists, and comparative analysis between mines and quarries and their features has been exceedingly rare. Mining and Quarrying in the Ancient Andes focuses on the primary extraction of a variety of materials that, in many cases, were used by cultures like the Inca, Wari and Tiwanaku in well-studied sites. The book delves into the broader mining practices that link diverse materials for a fascinating tour of the social and economic life of the prehispanic period, and of ancient technologies, some of which are still in use. Through the politics of the societies, the practical engineering issues of mineral extraction, and the symbolic nature of the locations, readers are given a broader context of mining and quarrying than is usually seen in the literature. Here, too, is a wide variety of sites, materials, and time periods, including: Technological and social aspects of obsidian procurement focusing on the Quispisisa source. Variation in Inca building stone quarry operations in Ecuador and Peru. Clay and temper mining practices in the Lake Titicaca Basin. Pigment extraction from Chile to southern Peru from the early Holocene through the Early Intermediate Period. The Huarhua rock salt mine: archaeological implications of contemporary salt extraction practices. Later pre-Hispanic (including Inca) mining with consideration of technical, ceremonial and political context. Shifts in architectural stone quarrying during state expansion at Tiwanaku Mining and Quarrying in the Ancient Andes will find an interested audience among archaeologists, geologists, anthropologists, historians, researchers studying Latin America, and scholars in the physical sciences with an interest in the history of mining and how mining is embedded in the wider social realm.  .Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology,1568-2722Quarries and quarryingAndesHistoryAndesHistoryQuarries and quarryingHistory.609.8Tripcevich Nicholas1751902Vaughn Kevin J1751903MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438236603321Mining and quarrying in the ancient Andes4187044UNINA04562nam 2201165z- 450 991055743100332120210501(CKB)5400000000043413(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/68904(oapen)doab68904(EXLCZ)99540000000004341320202105d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEye Movements and Visual CognitionBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20201 online resource (378 p.)3-03936-547-9 3-03936-548-7 This eBook is a volume based on the "Eye Movements and Visual Cognition" Special Issue published in the journal Vision by MDPI and edited by Raymond Klein and Simon Liversedge. The eBook comprises 19 high-quality chapters that are original and topical works by leading academic figures in the field of human vision and visual cognition. In putting together the book, we aimed to provide an informative body of work to stimulate and foster useful intellectual exchange between individuals working on basic theoretical issues as well as on more applied aspects of vision and cognitive science. From the outset, we sought papers that provide concise and astute reviews of topics within this broad field. The present volume includes reviews that are narrative (critiquing and summarizing research on a topic), tutorial (with a focus on methods and findings), empirical (e.g., meta-analytic), and theoretically synthetic. The eBook also features chapters with new empirical content that resolves an undecided issue stemming from an evaluation of the literature. Finally, where possible, we also selected papers that bridge theoretical and applied issues and provide insight into behavior and its neural substrate. All chapters were subject to peer review and went through several rounds of revision prior to acceptance.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscadultsagingalphabetic readinganaphorattentionautismbottom-upchildrenChinese readingcognitive agingcognitive processingcomputational modellingcontingent capturecovertdecisiondeep learningdiscourse comprehensiondisplacement perceptiondynamic attentionendogenousevent-related potentialsexogenouseye abductioneye movementseye movements during readingeye trackingeye-trackingfixation-related potentialsgazeindividual differencesinhibition of returnItti and Kochmaskingmedical image perceptionmemorymotion perceptionmultiple identity trackingmultiple object trackingoculomotor controloculomotor readiness hypothesisoculomotor systemorientingorthographyparallelismphonologypremotor theoryreadingregressionsretrievalsaccadessaliencescene perceptionscenessecurity screeningserialismsocial and everyday communicationspatial stabilitystrategysubliminaltheories of learning to readtop-downunconsciousvisionvisual searchX-ray imagesBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalKlein Raymond Medt1303457Liversedge Simon PedtKlein Raymond MothLiversedge Simon PothBOOK9910557431003321Eye Movements and Visual Cognition3027069UNINA
