While many scholars have been interested in the size of the Indian
population of the Americas at the time of first contact with
Europeans, this book, first published in 1982, was the first to
make a thorough examination of the question. Focusing on Peru,
Professor Cook estimates population size on the basis of
archaeology, carrying capacity of the agricultural systems, disease
mortality, depopulation ratios, and census projection. He also
analyses the catastrophic population decline that resulted from
contact with Europeans, and compares this experience with that of
the coastal region and the Andean highlands.
