Suspecting that Challuabamban ceramics might provide a link between earlier, preceramic culture and later, highly developed Formative period art, Terence Grieder led an archaeological investigation of the site between 1995 and 2001. In this book, he and the team of art historians and archaeologists who excavated at Challuabamba present their findings, which establish the community's importance as a center in a network of trade and artistic influence that extended to the Amazon River basin and the Pacific Coast. Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador presents an extensive analysis of ceramics dating to 2100-1100 BC, along with descriptions of stamps and seals, stone and shell artifacts, burials and their offerings, human remains, and zooarchaeology. Grieder and his coauthors demonstrate that the pottery of Challuabamba fills a gap between early and late Formative styles and also has a definite connection with later highland styles in Peru. They draw on all the material remains to reconstruct the first clear picture of Challuabamba's prehistory, including agriculture and health, interregional contacts and exchange, red-banded incised ware and ceramic production, and shamanism and cosmology. Because southern Ecuador has received relatively little archaeological study, Art and Archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador offers important baseline data for what promises to be a key sector of the prehistoric Andean region. 606 $aCan?ari Indians$zEcuador$zCuenca$xAntiquities 606 $aIndian pottery$zEcuador$zCuenca 606 $aEffigy pottery$zEcuador$zCuenca 606 $aPottery figures$zEcuador$zCuenca 606 $aIndian seals (Numismatics)$zEcuador$zCuenca 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zEcuador$zCuenca 607 $aChalluabamba Site (Ecuador) 607 $aCuenca (Ecuador)$xAntiquities 615 0$aCan?ari Indians$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndian pottery 615 0$aEffigy pottery 615 0$aPottery figures 615 0$aIndian seals (Numismatics) 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a986.6 700 $aGrieder$b Terence$01484280 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782985903321 996 $aThe art and archaeology of Challuabamba, Ecuador$93702862 997 $aUNINA
