The Andean region is among the most fascinating and well-known
centers of civilization. While understanding the Andes in local
terms is crucial, Andean prehistory is also relevant to the
comparative study of complex societies worldwide. This book
addresses the need to explore the rich history of this region in a
manner that is illuminating not only to Andean scholars, but also
to those readers who may be less familiar with Andean prehistory
and its non-Western principles of organization. "Andean Archaeology
"has been designed explicitly for students, archaeologists, and
general readers looking for an innovative and contemporary overview
of this important area of archaeological study.
"Andean Archaeology" explores the rise of civilization in the
Central Andes from the time of the region's earliest inhabitants to
the emergence of the Inca state many thousands of years later. The
volume progresses chronologically and culturally to reveal the
processes by which multiple Andean societies became increasingly
complex. Comprising thirteen newly commissioned chapters written by
leading archaeologists, "Andean Archaeology" presents the central
debates in contemporary Inca and Andean archaeology. By drawing
together the work of various researchers, this volume provides a
multi-vocal perspective, informed by diverse theoretical frameworks
and representing current thinking in the field.
