From Rural to Urban: Archaeological Research in the Periphery of Huari, Ayacucho Valley, Peru

Journal of Anthropology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
For hundreds upon hundreds of years, humans lived in small settlements where most individuals, if not all, were linked by kinship ties. Many of these villages were occupied for generations and thus their occupants had a strong connection to the place.
