The Ancient Central Andes presents a general overview of the prehistoric peoples and cultures of the Central Andes, the region now encompassing most of Peru and significant parts of Ecuador, Bolivia, northern Chile, and northwestern Argentina.
"The first edition of The Ancient Central Andes was the best text on the region when it came out in 2014. This new edition maintains that preeminence. Jeffrey Quilter has brought the narrative up to date with the most exciting and significant recent discoveries--this is the text for a course on the ancient Andes and a valuable addition to every archaeologist's bookshelf." Dan Sandweiss, Professor of Anthropology and Climate Studies, University of Maine, USA
