Neo-environmental determinism and agrarian ‘collapse’ in Andean prehistory
Abstract
In early anthropology, environmental determinism was used to explain race, human demography, material culture, cultural variation and cultural change. As anthropological interpretation evolved, simplistic reductionist thinking was replaced with more complex socio-cultural explanations. Despite these theoretical advances,environmental determinism continues to be invoked to explain Andean prehistory.

The formation of complex irrigation systems is one of the most frequent indicators in the organization of agrarian spaces in prehispanic societies.
“La conformación de complejos sistemas de regadío es uno de los indicadores más frecuentes en la organización de los espacios agrarios en las sociedades prehispánicas.”

The formation of complex irrigation systems has great geographic amplitude and predates state development in many societies.
“Se trata de un proceso con una gran amplitud geográfica y una conformación previa al propio desarrollo estatal de muchas sociedades.”

Investigations in the 1990s confirmed complex irrigation systems around Lake Titicaca during the advanced Tiwanaku and Inca periods.
“Así lo han confirmado diversas investigaciones en la década de los 90, por ejemplo, en el entorno del lago Titicaca (Bolivia) durante los periodos avanzados del periodo Tiwanaku (700-1190 d.C.) e Inca (1200-1530 d.C.) (Gose, 1993;Bandy, 2005;Erickson, 1999Erickson, & 2000;;Janusek & Kolata, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
