"Traces Behind the Esmeraldas Shore" will stimulate debate and rankle interpretive conventions about those social formations that archaeologists gloss as 'chiefdoms.' Zusammenfassung This work documents the prehistory of the Santiago-Cayapas region in Ecuador! focusing on the reign of La Tolita as a regional centre from 200 BC to 350 AD.
