A History of the Yumbos, Barbacoan Peoples of Northwestern Ecuador
Author(s): Ronald Lippi
Year: 2019
Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Many years of archaeological research under my direction coupled with ethnohistoric, linguistic and genetic studies by other scholars have allowed for the compilation of a fairly detailed history of the Yumbos, a cloud forest people of the western flank of the Andes in Pichincha province, Ecuador and members of the Barbacoan language family. I will review various hypotheses regarding their origin, highlight the most likely one, and then present a model of Barbacoan migrations over recent millennia. Then I will discuss what happened to the Yumbos following the Spanish conquest and to what extent they have survived into modern times.
