AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This dissertation is a study of the changing adaptive strategies of the Saraguro indigenes who live in the southern Ecuadorian provinces of Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe. The study is divided into three major parts. Part I basically provides background information on the highland region; geography, the human setting, cultural history and prehistory. Part II, titled 'the highland adaptation' is basically an analysis of the Saraguro economy. Part III ('the lowland adaptation'), describes the migration of a portion of the highland people into the Yacuambi Valley and their cultural and economic adaptation to living conditions in this lowland region.
