“…La modificación del ambiente y el surgimiento de paisajes antrópicos parecen estar asociados a los cambios económicos y sociales difundidos por el Neolítico (VICENT, 1991;CRIADO, 1993;KOLB, 1994;DILLEHAY, 2000DILLEHAY, , 2007. La producción de paisajes antrópicos ocurre generalmente en sociedades que manejan plantas (nómadas o sedentarias).…”

RESUMÉNSe analizan los paisajes producidos por la ocupación humana pré-histórica en las tierras bajas de Amazonia y del Cono Sur; evaluando sus similitudes y relaciones con montículos de origen natural. Se describen aspectos específicos de cada escenario y se interpreta el proceso cultural de formación de estos asentamientos con montículos, a partir de información reciente. Se exponen aspectos de otras ingenieras ambientales implementadas por especies animales que habitan en esos ambientes. Las coincidencias ecológicas, las analogías sociales relativas al trabajo corporativo y las similitudes estructurales; estimulan la reflexión sobre el conjunto de las relaciones que unen a las sociedades humanas con la naturaleza. La búsqueda de aspectos comunes entre los montículos de las tierras bajas de Sudamérica, contribuye a reconocer los diferentes itinerarios históricos y culturales. Palabras claves: montículos; tierras bajas, relaciones naturaleza-cultura. ABSTRACTThis work analyzes landscapes produced by prehistoric human occupation in the Lowlands of Amazonia and the Southern Cone of South America, estimating their similarities and connections with mounds of natural origin. A description of specific aspects is proposed, as an interpretation of the cultural process of formation of these settlements with mounds . At the same time, aspects of other environmental structures made by "soil engineer" animals living in these landscapes are proposed. Ecological coincidences, social analogies connected with collective work and structural similarities can stimulate thoughts on interactions between human societies and nature. Investigation on aspects common to earth mounds of the Lowlands of northern and southern South America contributes to identify specificities of each historical and cultural story.

“…The most logical place to begin is with durable architecture and other human-built environments, because they represent materialized social relationships (DeMarrais et al, 1996;Kolb, 1994a) that are highly visible in both ethnohistoric and archaeological data (e.g., Blanton, 1994;Kent, 1990;Lawrence, 1990;Rapoport 1982). One way to examine architecture and other built spaces is to assign relative values for the social messages they transmit by translating them into measurable units of labor energy costs.…”

“…At the high end of the suprafamily continuum are corv6e markers such as large-scale agricultural field systems, fortifications, elite residences, and ceremonial architecture (temples and burial structures). Corv6e projects are highly visible archaeologically and have been discussed at length (see especially Abrams, 1989Abrams, , 1994Kolb, 1994a;Peebles and Kus, 1977;Pozorski, 1980;Renfrew, 1973;Trigger 1990). In general, corv6e labor is recruited from the general population and is centrally organized and obligatory.…”

Hawaiian ethnohistory has long been used to generate archaeological models of the past. However, continued reliance on the direct historical method has molded our view of ancient Hawaiian society into one of an unchanging and "timeless" instituion. This paper develops a more heuristic approach to studying the past by critically analyzing both ethnohistoric and archaeological data. A descriptive model of labor mobilization is presented that identifies a three-tiered continuum of labor organization. This model then is used as a springboard to examine the ethnohistoric and archaeological landscapes of Waiohuli, a traditional Hawaiian community. A temporal analysis of Waiohuli architectural energetics illustrates how certain social relationships were enhanced and emphasized by the construction and manipulation of the community's built landscape over time. Results demonstrate that Waiohuli's pattern of social organization was not timeless at all, but shifted from a period of regional centralization and control over labor to one of community independence.
