This book offers a unique, critical perspective on the history of
Peruvian archaeology by a native scholar. Leading Peruvian
archaeologist Henry Tantalean illuminates the cultural legacy of
colonialism beginning with "founding father" Max Uhle and traces
key developments to the present. These include the growth of
Peruvian institutions; major figures from Tello and Valcarcel to
Larco, Rowe, and Murra; war, political upheaval, and Peruvian
regimes; developments in archaeological and social science theory
as they impacted Andean archaeology; and modern concerns such as
heritage, neoliberalism, and privatization. This post-colonial
perspective on research and its sociopolitical context is an
essential contribution to Andean archaeology and the growing
international dialogue on the history of archaeology.
