Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source presents a critical evaluation of the
ethnographic data presented by Petrullo and others regarding Yaruro horticulture, the
existence of matrilineal clans, clan exogamy, matrilateral cross-cousin marriage and
totemism. This evaluation was undertaken by the author because much of the data that he
gathered in the field contradicts the earlier reported evidence of such phenomena. In an
attempt to resolve the apparent conflicting data, the author has resorted to a
reinterpretation of the available historical sources, primarily archaeology, linguistics,
and written history. The source ends with some very tentative conclusions regarding the
'ethnohistory' of the llanos, and particularly the Yaruro, based on the author's present
knowledge of geography, archaeology, linguistics, and historical data. Some of these
conclusions, Leeds admits, are presented as hypotheses requiring proof or disproof through
further research.
