            THE INCA AND THEIR ANCESTORS: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANDEAN SOUTH AMERICA


Drawing upon archaeological, historical, and ethnological sources, this course examines the economic, social, and political evolution of
TAHUANTINSUYU, or "The Land of The Four Quarters" as the Inca called their vast imperial realm.

Embracing the rugged Andean Mountains, the parched Atacama Desert, and fringes of the Amazon Jungle, the Inca Imperium was the very largest
empire of antiquity ever to arise in the Western Hemisphere.  The Inca's many unique adaptations to unusual environmental conditions, as well as the
empire's fascinating political institutions will be traced back in archaeological time through a rich succession of earlier dynasties and polities to
primordial times when people first populated South America.
