The Inca and Their Ancestors - Homework Assignments
There are six opportunities to complete a homework assignment involving interactive web pages about different topics in Andean archaeology.  Choose two to hand in on the date indicated on the syllabus.  No extra credit will be given for additional ones though I encourage everyone to check the other sites out, as they may increase your understanding of topics on the midterm and final exams. You may print out each homework from the website.
