Description
The Ancient Central Andes presents a comprehensive overview of the prehistoric peoples and cultures of the region now encompassing most of Peru and significant parts of Ecuador, Bolivia, northern Chile, and northwestern Argentina. This balanced survey contextualizes current research and provides an objective analysis of past scholarship. The book explores the intellectual, political, and practical background of research in the Central Andes, as well as the spatial, temporal, and formal dimensions of studying its past. It delves into key themes such as the debate between comparative and historicist approaches, the concept of "Lo Andino," and culture change related to severe environmental events. This up-to-date introduction is essential for students and interested readers seeking a thorough understanding of a crucial period in South America's history.
