The major worry of the inhabitants of the prehistoric Andean sphere was to achieve the greatest agricultural production possible. The configuration of the country was a constant challenge for the population which had to overcome vast coastal deserts, abrupt terrain in the highlands, wide punas covered with the typical high altitude ichu grass and hostile jungles. For each one of those environments so different from each other they had to invent appropriate techniques of cultivation and utilization.
