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. \u003ci\u003eAndean Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e has been designed explicitly for students, archaeologists, and general readers looking for an innovative and contemporary overview of this important area of archaeological study.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndean Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eAndean Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e presents the central debates in contemporary Inca and Andean archaeology.
