- Summary
- "Superb field-based study concludes that stone-faced terraces in the Colca Valley (Arequipa dept.) are of pre-Inca origin. Need for water management, not soil conservation, explains their construction. Terrace abandonment during the historic period was driven more by social-historical factors than by environmental change"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
