Chapter 2 - Footnotes
1 National Science Foundation grant BNS# 8313190.
2 The families are described in detail in a separate PSE monograph (Larme et al., n.d.).
3 These figures include one family (O) with a divorced daughter and two grandchildren living as members of the household.
4 Tree resin is collected for sale as incense, which is used in Andean rituals.
5 The name of Oriental was changed to Cordillerano in 1988.
6 PSE economic data from all twenty families are currently being analyzed (Recharte et al., n.d.).
7 Adventists do not own guinea pigs because it is prohibited in the Bible (Leviticus xi).
8 Committees are part of the community political structure. They handle specific areas of concern to the community such as water supply, agriculture and school maintenance.
9 Age twenty was chosen as the beginning of adulthood for my own and PSE data analyses for several reasons. Twenty is an average age of marriage and social adulthood in Cuyo Cuyo, as women generally marry around age 17 and men in their early 20s. And single individuals of marriageable age carry out subsistence work much like married adults.
10 One family (K) had to be dropped from this portion of the study due to their permanent relocation to Ancoccala.
11 Puna Ayllu families live in Ancoccala, a day's hike above Puna Ayllu, for 4-6 months of the year. The difficulty of tracking Puna Ayllu families is reflected in the lesser numbers of follow-up visits.
12 Greenway (1987) gives a similar account regarding her fieldwork with a male research assistant in Mollomarca, Cusco.
