Description
Summary:The Late Formative site of Salango, on the central coast of Ecuador, functioned as a sacred center of increasing influence from 600 BC to 100 BC. This period saw eight main episodes of construction and use of an elaborate sequence of Middle and Late Engoroy phrase ceremonial floors, houses and platforms. Complementing the author's previous work 'Cultural Identity, Transition, and Interaction at Salango, Coastal Ecuador' (BAR S3109, 2022), this book presents previously unpublished data concerning the front halves of those structures, reconstructs the complete structure design for each episode and offers an interpretation of the overall sequence.
