Description
Peruvian Archaeology A Critical History by Henry Tantaleán offers a unique perspective on the history of Peruvian archaeology. This critical analysis traces the cultural legacy of colonialism, from its early beginnings to the present day. The book explores key developments in Peruvian institutions, major figures in the field, and the impact of war, political upheaval, and changing regimes on archaeological research. It also examines the evolution of theoretical approaches and their influence on Andean archaeology, as well as contemporary concerns such as heritage, neoliberalism, and privatization. This post-colonial perspective on research and its sociopolitical context provides a valuable contribution to Andean archaeology and the international dialogue on the history of archaeology.
