The ancient Andean states : political landscapes in pre-hispanic Peru / Henry Tantaleán. - 1 online resource (xiii, 282 pages) : illustrations
Part I: Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the ancient Andean states -- Part II: Case studies (Section I: Precursors of the ancient Andean states ; Section 2: The ancient Andean states) -- Part III: Summary.
"The Ancient Andean States combines modern social theory, recent archaeological literature and the experience of the author to examine politics and power in the great Andean prehispanic societies. The Ancient Andean States were the great shapers of Peruvian prehistory. Social complexity, architectural monumentality, and specialized economic production, among others, were features of these sophisticated societies known by professionals and travellers from around the world. How and when these states emerged and succeeded is still debated. By examining Peruvian archaeological sites such as Caral, Sechín, Chavín, Moche, Wari, Chimú and Inca, this book delves into their political and economic structures as well as exploring their ideological world views. It reveals how these societies were organized and how different social groups interacted in the states. Archaeologists and anthropologists interested in Peruvian archaeology and the political and social structures of ancient societies will find this book to be a valuable addition to their shelves"--
