New data from the past 25 years of research at animportant pre-Hispanic site

 

Thesacred Andean site of Pachacamac, inhabited for over a thousand years beforethe Spanish Conquest, has an enduring presence in Peruvian history and plays apivotal role in the formation of current views about religion and thought inthe pre-Hispanic period. UnveilingPachacamac is the first volume to synthesize the past quarter century’sabundance of new data and hypotheses on this important sanctuary.


Gathering contributions from an internationalarray of leading researchers working at the site, this volume examines deeptheoretical questions about social change, interregional interactions, thenature of religion, and issues of cultural continuity. It is also the firstbook to look at the site in relation with its territory and hinterland. AsPachacamac is widely considered an archetypal Andean shrine, used byresearchers as a vital reference in comparative analyses of sanctuaries andreligions in precapitalist societies, this volume will have a long-lastingimpact on the field of archaeology.
