Description

Explore the deep connections between Andean herders and their animals in Earth, Water, Fleece and Fabric. This scholarly work by Dransart provides a detailed look at the practices of spinning yarn from llama and alpaca fleece. By looking at both historical and modern methods, the book offers a unique perspective on how pastoral communities interact with their environment. The text combines an ethnography of an Aymara herding community in the Chilean highlands with archaeological evidence from the Atacama desert. Based on over ten years of fieldwork in Isluga, this research provides a systematic study of material culture. It is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between humans and herd animals through the lens of both archaeology and social science.
