		The first is their main hypothesis, that Tiwanaku populations colonized the Moquegua Valley and they support this hypothesis by analyzing skeletons from these different populations at different times.
		Their hypothesis is stated plainly, and from the beginning the reader knows exactly where the article is going—there is absolutely no guess work involved in the article, everything of value in regards to the study is discussed in adequate depth.
		Looking at their study and looking at what others before them have studied, their analysis of Tiwanaku and Moquegua skeletons is very strong, and provides support for Goldstein’s theory of colonization, as well as shows the methods and techniques importance in the broader area of bioarchaeology to show genetic affinities between populations.
