Earth, water, fleece, and fabric
an ethnography and archaeology of Andean camelid herding
by Penny Dransart
"This book is the first systematic study to set the material culture of pastoral communities against an understanding of the long-term effects of herding practices. It offers insights into understanding gender relations among the herders, who establish the working relationships with their animals that enable them to produce yarns and fabrics, while also adopting a dynamic perspective on studying technical changes that have occurred in textile production in the Andes."--BOOK JACKET.
