Migration and Inheritance Practices in the Bolivian Altiplano
Most theoretical approaches to inheritance assume that parents are the key actors of bequest decisions.

Based on a unique data set collected at both ends of the migration link in Bolivia, we are able to show that migrant children significantly influence the way inheritance is distributed t...
متن کاملRapid late Miocene rise of the Bolivian Altiplano: Evidence for removal of mantle lithosphere
The oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates deposited in the northern Altiplano demonstrate a rapid change in late Miocene time, which we attribute to an increase in elevation. Rainfall samples over an elevation transect adjacent to the Altiplano of northern Bolivia display a systematic decrease in mean annual yO values and define a local yO vs. altitude gradient [R.

The raised-field agricultural systems are linear or semi-linear raised planting platforms interspersed with sha...
