This paper examines regional variations in Indian population decline Ecuador in the sixteenth century. It examines the impact of Old World diseases and the economic enterprises the Spanish established in the region. Although the population declined by 85 percent, this figure masks considerable variations. There was no marked variation in levels of depopulation between the highlands and lowlands, but variations within those broad regions.
