Abstract
This otherwise comprehensive cultural geography (the Sierra subregion accounts for approximately two-thirds of the time spent in field survey) focusses mainly on material culture, with an emphasis on agriculture, trade, craft production, and the economy. With frequent historical asides, the author notes changes since first contact with the Spanish.
