Household archaeology, together with community and regional settlement information, forms the basis for a unique local perspective of Andean prehistory in this study of the evolution of the site of Lukurmata, a pre-Columbian community in highland Bolivia. First established nearly 2000 years ago, Lukurmata grew to be a major ceremonial centre in the Tiwanaku state, a polity that dominated the south-central Andes from 400 to 1200 AD. After the Tiwanaku state collapsed, Lukurmata rapidly declined, becoming once again a small village. In his analysis of 1300-year-old changes in Lukurmata, the author traces patterns in the organization of domestic life, household ritual, ties to other communities and mortuary activities, as well as household adaptations to political and economic trends.
