The nature of the spread of Moche-style architecture and pottery has been debated, with a theory of a Moche conquest state facing opposing theories of a “Mochelandia”, the diffusion of a Moche art style or religion across multiple valleys. In the Santa Valley, widespread changes in settlement patterns between the Gallinazo Late Suchimancillo period and the Moche Guadalupito period, including the movement of people from the upper valley to the lower valley, the maximization of arable land, the abandonment of Late Suchimancillo sites and citadels, and the establishment of a regional center support the theory of a Moche conquest in the region.
Settlements in the Late Suchimancillo period are clustered in the narrow upper river valley (maps a and b). This region has a high concentration of settlements, including the local centers at sites 11, 25, 45, 72, and 103. These centers, not including their surrounding settlements, together held a population of about 10,000, or roughly one third of the Santa Valley’s total population. These local centers and their smaller surrounding sites were built along the

As the Moche themselves responded to the growing population in the Moche valley by increasing the area of land under cultivation, it is reasonable to infer that a Moche conquest would utilize the same strategy in subjugated lands. The lower Santa Valley contains ample amounts of arable land (in comparison to the upper valley) that in Late Suchimancillo period was left largely unexploited as there were few settlements in the area. In the Guadalupito period, the creation of settlement sites on and the movement of the population to the edges of this arable land indicate both a Moche intent to maximize the area of cultivated land and the gathering of a workforce to do
In “Fashioning Moccasins: Detroit, the Manufacturing Frontier, and the Empire if Consumption, 1701-1835” by Catherine Cangany; the author offers an interesting outlook on the transformation of North America’s Frontier. Cangany argues that through observing the small frontier town of Detroit you can see the western frontier’s change through the study of moccasins. Her argument is persuasive because she chronologically structures her article, effectively shows Detroit’s transformation and gives a variety of examples allowing the reader to see the influence of moccasins. Catherine Cangany’s article is well-structured helping the reader follow her research. The beginning of her article consists of a summary of what she will expand upon allowing
The films “The other conquest”, “Jerico”, and “I the Worst of All” are all a depiction of what life would be like during the Spanish Conquest. These films give different point of views during the Spanish Conquest. The films give a person a well-rounded view of how the world really changed for different people during a historical movement. After watching these films, one is able to assess and determine their own truth about what exactly happened to Amerindians and Spaniards during this time.
There were no less than three particular gatherings of Jumanos every living in an alternate area. One center zone was along the Rio Grande and Rio Concho streams in West Texas, in Old Mexico and in New Mexico. Another center district was on the Southern Plains. The third region is less know and was between these Rio Grande and the fields. Every one of the three of these gatherings appeared to go around a great deal and cover long separations.
It provided jobs for the people in Yaxbe, which gave them exceptional benefits, both monetarily and socially. Another type of "agricultural cycle" was the Milpa Cycle, which incorporated the crops of corn, beans, and squash (pg. 27). The similar political structure used in with henequen was applied here as well. There were some issues with this system. The environment of the Yaxbe was not ideal for milpa, so they had to move the crops around every year in order for the soil to recuperate from the damage of the crops.
Throughout history, the conquering of lands has held a large contribution in the development of various civilizations. The remnants of these conquests have celebrated the feats of rulers and their achievements. When military campaigns occurred frequently in the ancient Middle East, the victories of rulers have been recorded through inscriptions, artwork, and stone monuments. Rulers often recorded their conquests as a way to glorify their victory which helped for multiple purposes such as establishing power for both the ruler and his people.
The government buildings help to keep the important people from each city in close contact with each other. There are also towns surrounding each city (except Leafica) to provide housing to all of the citizens of
The ability to avoid wordiness, and not overcomplicate the argument allow for the reader to easily come to the same conclusion about the settlement landscape of the Miskito people. This book has tremendous value to geography. This
2) and Bicho Raro 2 (Weird Bug) 2015 (fig. 3). A trace hidden inside the memory is triggered when viewing this fabric as it conjures feelings of happiness as a young girl while visiting my aunt. A distant image of the tablecloth in the memory is the link that connects the history of the past in Chile to the current life in Australia (pg 3) connecting the ‘private to the public’. However, in these images there are no memories of the Mapuche history from previous ancestors because in our family there is not one person who practiced or is practising the Mapuche culture and we have no direct descendants of the Mapuche apart from Jose Nieves Torres Amariles who was said to be half
After a year of independence from Mexico, Texas approached the United States about the possibility of being admitted to the Union as a slave-state. Fearing the wrath of Mexico and not wanting to disrupt the balance in the Senate, America declined Texas’ offer. Although, during the election of 1844 James K. Polk ran on a platform that embraced American territorial expansionism. Polk won the election and six days before he took office, the U.S. Congress approved the annexation of Texas. But, before Texas was an American state, there was tension amongst Texans and .
Lane, Kris E. Pillaging the Empire: Piracy in the Americas 1500-1750 (M.E. Sharpe Inc., 1998). Kris E. Lane’s Pillaging the Empire: Piracy in the Americas 1500- 1750 focuses on Spain and Portugal’s encounters with pirates in the Americas during the early modern era. Lane diverges from traditional history on piracy through his attempt to place pirates in a world-historical perspective and he emphasizes how pirates were motivated by their desire for money rather than patriotic motives. Lane is a professor of Colonial Latin American History at Tulane University. The purpose of Pillaging the Empire is to provide a chronological survey of piracy in the Americas and introduce maritime predation in Spain’s colonial holdings between 1500 and1750.
It clear that from the time of Junípero Serra until now, outside forces have controlled the past, the present, and the future of the California Native
With that said, these early inhabitants were not living in simplicity amongst the environment therefore alteration to their surrounds had to be made in order to feed their growing civilization. There is evidence that suggests the operation for expansion of chinampas, “As popultions grew, they adopted more intensive methods of cultivation—composting, terracing, irrigation. They filled in swamps to create fields and carried silt and muck from bottomlands to fertilize enclosed gardens. Artificial ponds yield fish, and corrals held deer and other game flushed from the forest. The ancient Maya ultimately coaxed enough sustenance from the meager land for several million people, many times more than now live in the region” (Gugliotta).
John’s book, like all others, holds various strengths and weaknesses. Largely, St. John’s thesis is supported by offering a varying look at the borderlands throughout multiple decades and discussing the progression of change as it occurred across eras and regions. St. John provides interesting historical details that would otherwise probably not be known to the reader, such as her statement in the Introduction that the desert border running from west of El Paso to the Pacific Ocean did not conform to any previously existing geographic features. This fact, like others provided in “Line in the Sand,” might not seem interesting but indeed is in the sense that it forces the reader to consider it and to contextualize it based on what the reader knows of the border. For example, reading this fact, I was forced to contemplate how the border boundary was formed west of Texas and how the line that is in place to day came to be.

Before the dikes were built, the Vietnamese people were hunters and gathers of wild fruits in some areas such as Phu Tho, Hoa Binh, and Thanh Hoa provinces. As the time passed by, they discovered how to raise animals and sticky rice. When the population increased, the Vietnamese people moved down to the plains of the Red River Delta where they could grow rice. More land was opened up for rice cultivation to feed the expanding population. The construction of dikes along rivers is the most important part of the Vietnamese agriculture.
