| Description: |
Drawing on the results of the Cuzco Valley Archaeological Project, this book undertakes the general overview of the prehistory of the Cuzco region from the arrival of the first hunter-gatherers to the fall of the Inca Empire. It also addresses the patterns of settlement in the Cuzco Valley and the processes of cultural development. |
| Synopsis: |
The Cuzco Valley of Peru was both the sacred and the political centre of the largest state in the prehistoric Americas - the Inca Empire. From the city of Cuzco, the Incas ruled at least eight million people in a realm that stretched from modern-day Colombia to Chile. Yet, despite its great importance in the cultural development of the Americas, the Cuzco Valley has only recently received the same kind of systematic archaeological survey long since conducted at other New World centres of civilization. Drawing on the results of the Cuzco Valley Archaeological Project that Brian Bauer directed from 1994 to 2000, this landmark book undertakes the first general overview of the prehistory of the Cuzco region from the arrival of the first hunter-gatherers (ca. 7000 B.C.) to the fall of the Inca Empire in A.D. 1532. Combining archaeological survey and excavation data with historical records, the book addresses both the specific patterns of settlement in the Cuzco Valley and the larger processes of cultural development. With its wealth of new information, this book will become the baseline for research on the Inca and the Cuzco Valley for years to come. |
