Description
Summary:The Upano valley, in upper Ecuadorian Amazonia, is characterized by numerous precolumbian artificial earthmounds. Built then abandoned by Upano societies between 700 BC and 400 AD, some of them were re-occupied by Huapula groups between 800 and 1200 AD. Open-area excavations of one mound produced a well preserved domestic level, permitting a spatial analysis of activities. Ethnoarchaeological study of the Huapula house has shown great similarities with settlements of modern Jivaros groups of the area.
