"Institutum Archaelogicum Germanicum, Deutsches Archaologisches Institut, Kommission fur Archaologie Aussereuropaischen Kulturen"--Preliminary page. Based on the author's thesis (doctoral)--Universitat Kiel, 2014, under the title: Impacts of climate variability on pre-Hispanic settlement behavior in South Peru : the northern Rio Grande de Nasca drainage between 1500 BCE and 1532 CE. Accompanying DVD-ROM contains supplemental material including maps, charts, statistics and other data. Includes bibliographical references (pages 290-315).
Summary:
Based on data gathered by an archaeological long-term project of the German Archaeological Institute, 3,000 years of settlement history of the Palpa Region at the Andean west flank in South Peru (14.5℗ʻ S) are being reconstructed. The question is pursued whether past climate changes in this arid region may have triggered the observed substantial changes in settlement behavior. The general trend suggests that a causal relation can be stated only for a few periods.
