Ceramic technology, ethnic identification and multiethnic contacts: The archaeological example of the Cuyes river valley (Southeastern Ecuadorian highlands)
Located in the south-eastern corner of Ecuador, the Cuyes River valley is a conduit between the Andes and the Amazon. In the late 1970s, monumental structures (presumably pre-Columbian) discovered in this area raised the question of who the pre-Hispanic inhabitants of this valley were: Andean or Ama...
