一种高效的交通和通讯工具。社会需要在其控制的区域内运输货物、人员和信息。道路还具有强大的社会、政治和神圣功能。正式的道路是环境的重大转变。它们在景观上的模式提供了有关定居点组织、社会互动、土地保有权、仪式、测量标准和日常生活活动的信息(Trombold 1990)。过去的重要地点。文化景观的路径,道路,田墙,灌溉渠,梯田,和其他功能,填补了网站之间的空间往往被忽视。人类学的一个相对较新的子领域,景观考古学,将景观视为一种人工制品,可以提供关于过去人们日常生活的新的,详细的见解。我在此将重点讨论正式道路,它是玻利维亚亚马逊河流域前哥伦布时期景观的一个重要组成部分。
an efficient means of transportation and communication. Societies need to move goods, people, and information throughout the regions they control. Roads also have powerful social, political, and sacred functions. Formal roads are major transformations of the environment. Their patterns on the landscape provide information about the organization of settlements, social interaction, land tenure, ritual, standards of measurement, and the activities of everyday life (Trombold 1990). important places of the past. The cultural landscape of paths, roads, field walls, irrigation canals, terraces, and other features that fill the spaces between sites is often ignored. A relatively new subfield of anthropology, the archaeology of landscapes, treats the landscape as an artifact that can provide new, detailed insights about the everyday lives of peoples of the past. I will focus here on formal roads as an important element of the pre-Columbian landscape of the Bolivian Amazon.
