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.
