Recensioner i media

“The publication of Andean Archaeology is long overdue and a relief to those who teach the subject. It offers state-of-the-art summaries of exciting advances, especially concerning little-known pre-Incan civilisations.” New Scientist"I became really excited when I first saw Helaine Silverman's edited volume... Andean Archaelogy, I thought, could indeed become a source of core texts for undergraduate courses... The thirteen chapters provide a mix of balanced scholarly review and pushy polemics dotted with flashes of thoughtful insight." Alexander Herrera, in Archaeological Review from Cambridge
