: The Tello Obelisk Monument from Chavin de Huantar The Tello Obelisk is an Early Horizon monument in Chavin de Huantar filled with cultigen depictions featuring a pair of individual pairs flying in the shaman position while grasping particular sections of a rope with an artistic exhibition of early Andean iconography. The monument, a prismatic granite monolith, hails from the North Central part of Peru, an archaeological site known as Chavin de Huantar, featuring one of the most complex and unique stone carvings of American in its time-period. Chavin is located between the Cordillera Negra and Cordillera Blanca, on a pass to the high elevation valley that is situated along the Callejon de Huaylas (James 2-4). The Chavin de Huantar site thrived between 1000 and 500 B.C. but was occupied between 900 and 200 BC during the Early Horizon period for many centuries. Within the Andes of Peru is a temple complex host to the monument, comprising of plazas, terraces, monumental buildings, staircases, underground channels, and passages although it is best recognized for the Tello Obelisk Monument, an elaborately curved monolith. The construction of the U-shaped platform referred to as the Old Temple began in 850 B.C. at Chavin and it frames plaza whose length is 40m according to Radiocarbon measurements. The plaza is centered on the monument’s axis with “cut stone blocks” that feature “low relief carvings” lining a 21m diameter of a sunken circular court (James, 4). The tello…

Regionalism is a complex ideology, as it is dependent on the definition of region. Defining region has become a daunting task by many in the political science community. For this paper, Cochrane and Perrella’s (2012) definition of region “as the physical space surrounding an individual,” and regionalism “as an affective attachment to the people, places and institutions within a geographic area,” will be used. By defining in such a way, Cochrane and Perrella account for the possibility of change…

Throughout this course we’ve examined Appalachia as a separate and distinct region within the United States. The question of whether it’s a subculture or a colony is rather muddy at best. The Oxford Dictionary defines subculture as: “A cultural group within a larger culture, often having beliefs or interests at variance with those of the larger culture”. While this is true of Appalachia to some degree, the problem lies within its geographical area and the large number of subcultures that live in…

impact on governance structures) required time and effort to shift perceptions that this is a practical option. Regionalisation was described poignantly by one interviewee as a way to “centralise where [the sector] must and distribute where they can” in order to mobilise capability better. To do so, DHBs within each region need to cooperate with one another because as one interviewee so directly put it, “[we are] short of money and workforce and we need to simplify and establish a foundation as…

They were a curiosity as South Asian migration had yet to occur. In 1903, a small trickle of Punjabis arrived in North America through Canada and half traveled onto the United States. Of them, the majority were illiterate or semi-literate from farming or military backgrounds. They left minimal…
