Casas pastos en el páramo y en el pie de monte occidental: un estudio comparativo
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: Current study compares clusters of Pasto circular structures, localized in páramo and in western lowlands. Analysis focuses on comparing structure size, house floor area and settlement pattern, with the aim of observing tendencies in terms of structure function and social interactions within the Pasto territory. Political units in the Andes not necessarily existed as a monolithic territory, but ethnic related populations lived at different ecological and altitudinal locations to support political unit, emphasizing on a vertical complementary economy (Murra, 1962). The objective of the study is to identify colonies of Pasto people in warm zones by using the house as unit of analysis.
