Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses recent research on the Formative period (1500 BC to AD 500) in the Lake Titicaca basin of Peru and Bolivia, with a focus on the middle (800–200 BC) and late Formative (200 BC to 500 AD) periods. During this long and dynamic epoch, populations of agro-pastoralists settled into villages of varying sizes, constructed spaces for public ritual at political centers, produced intricate polychrome ceramics and intriguing stone sculpture, and participated in long-distance exchange networks. While there is flurry of research in the region, this discussion focuses on (1) shifts from regional, survey-based to site-based models of political centralization and (2) efforts to determine the significance of spatial and temporal diversity of ritual spaces and objects, which have been central to models of emergent complexity during the Formative.
