Abstract

The trajectories of social development in southern Manabí, Ecuador are reconstructed from the Formative period to European contact to clarify the role played by trade connections. The results of a systematic full-coverage survey suggest that increased interaction between southern Manabí societies and northern Peruvian states could have been an important factor behind the increase in social complexity in the study region beginning ca. A.D. 750. Unlike many models of social development, the archaeological data indicate that this was not an activity undertaken primarily by elite groups, but rather by the general population, which took advantage of the direct economic benefits of trade, particularly of Spondylus shell items.

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.
