The South Coast and Yungas as Seen from the Highlands during the Middle Horizon
Author(s): Silvana Rosenfeld; Megan Street

Summary
In this presentation we will discuss different non-local materials recovered from the Wari site of Conchopata and the imperial capital of Huari to better understand the interactions between costa, sierra, and selva during the Middle Horizon. The mapping of the origins of exotic material recovered at these sites will help us understand and better characterize how people in these regions were interacting with each other. By exploring least-cost pathways, among other criteria, we will make inferences on the possible exchange routes used in a diverse landscape marked by many topographic changes during this important time period.
