Book Synopsis Pre-Inca and Inca Pottery by : Agustina Scaro
Download or read book Pre-Inca and Inca Pottery written by Agustina Scaro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a collection of articles which offer different perspectives for archaeological pottery studies, regarding the understanding of pre-Hispanic social practices in Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina. The aim of this volume is to contribute to Quebrada de Humahuaca archaeological knowledge and its inclusion in current discussions about Andean and worldwide history of pottery production. In 2003, Quebrada de Humahuaca was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Numerous tracks, roads and settlements testify to its pre-Hispanic and post pre-Hispanic history from pre-ceramic to colonial times. Due to its strategic position Quebrada de Humahuaca has been colonized by both the Inca and the Spaniards. It also has been a stage for many battles of the Argentine War of Independence. The richness and abundance of ceramic material evidence in the landscape of the Quebrada de Humahuaca has provided archaeologists information about human behaviour and social practices both in every and ritual activities. Quebrada de Humahuaca, in the province of Jujuy (the northernmost sector of Argentina) is one of the most widely recognized archaeological zones and one of the most widely studied. Through extensive excavations of the most conspicuous settlements, archaeologists managed to characterize these pre-Hispanic agricultural societies and construct chronologies of northwestern Argentina, and to elaborate models of trans-Andean population dynamics.

Book Synopsis Peruvian Prehistory by : Richard W. Keatinge
Download or read book Peruvian Prehistory written by Richard W. Keatinge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-03-10 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peruvian Prehistory offers an authoritative survey of the cultural evolution of Peru from the appearance of the first inhabitants around 10,000 BC to the arrival of the Spanish in 1534. The book is divided chronologically into three main parts, which examine in turn the highland and lowland zones in the Preceramic and Initial periods; the development of complex society at Chavin, Tiwanaku and Fluari and in the Moche and Nazca cultures; and the culmination of this process, the Pan-Andean empire of the Incas, and the way this can be studied through a combination of archaeology and ethnohistoric research. A fourth, concluding section deals with the often neglected tropical forest region of Peru and its formative influence on the evolution of Andean culture. The first collective assessment of Peruvian archaeology for a generation, this volume traces the processes of political, social and economic change in Andean civilisation in a manner that will attract many with no specialist interest in Peru.

Book Synopsis The Wari Civilization and Their Descendants by : Mary Glowacki
Download or read book The Wari Civilization and Their Descendants written by Mary Glowacki and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on research conducted in Cuzco, Peru,The Wari Civilization and Their Descendants: Imperial Transformation in Pre-Inca Cuzco, Peru analyzes the political and social transformations that led to the downfall of the Wari civilization in the Andean Middle Horizon period (AD 500–1000) and resulted in the rise of the Inca state. The contributors to this collection present evidence of the Wari civilization’s robust, imperialistic occupation of Cuzco, and argue that this presence laid the groundwork for later regional polities that can be traced to the Late Horizon Inca period (AD 1476–1532). This collection fills a gap in scholarly literature on Cuzco prehistory, the provincial southern highlands of the Wari civilization, and early imperialism in the Andes.
Book Synopsis The Development of the Inca State by : Brian S. Bauer
Download or read book The Development of the Inca State written by Brian S. Bauer and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inca empire was the largest state in the Americas at the time of the Spanish invasion in 1532. From its political center in the Cuzco Valley, it controlled much of the area included in the modern nations of Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. But how the Inca state became a major pan-Andean power is less certain. In this innovative work, Brian S. Bauer challenges traditional views of Inca state development and offers a new interpretation supported by archaeological, historical, and ethnographic evidence. Spanish chroniclers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries attributed the rapid rise of Inca power to a decisive military victory over the Chanca, their traditional rivals, by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui. By contrast, Bauer questions the usefulness of literal interpretations of the Spanish chronicles and provides instead a regional perspective on the question of state development. He suggests that incipient state growth in the Cuzco region was marked by the gradual consolidation and centralization of political authority in Cuzco, rather than resulting from a single military victory. Synthesizing regional surveys with excavation, historic, and ethnographic data, and investigating broad categories of social and economic organization, he shifts the focus away from legendary accounts and analyzes more general processes of political, economic, and social change.

Book Synopsis Objects of Empire by : Tamara L. Bray

Book excerpt: "The beautiful polychrome ceramics of the imperial Inca state have long been noted for their uniformity, so much so that it was once said a whole jar could be reconstructed from a single shard. This book is an attempt to move beyond the "seen one, seen 'em all" mentality. There is evidence of mass production, yes, but the widespread distribution of Inca state pottery and the high degree of standardization hint at the importance of this particular category of material culture to the imperial project. Despite that significance, relatively little comparative work has been undertaken. This book shows the variability and rich semiotic content of imperial Inca pots, and in doing so, it advances our understanding of how power and legitimacy are produced and reproduced through the material culture of daily life. Bray takes a comparative, empire-wide approach, making it clear that Inca pottery is not as homogeneous as it is thought to be. Her book works through what constitutes the state style, as well as the parameters and significance of the variability. From there, she takes up the more socially significant questions of where, when, and why deviations from the norm occurred. Focusing on variations in the material assemblages and approaches helps illuminate the strategies of territorial expansion and political control that lay at the heart of the Inca juggernaut, as well as the role of objects in the calculus of would-be rulers and subjects"--
