An Archaeology of Ancash

An Archaeology of Ancash provides a well–illustrated synthesis of the archaeology of North Central Peru concentrating on the Ancash region. It reveals how groups of the Central Andes used stone as both a physical and symbolic resource in the past providing a window on stone’s use and long history of engagement as a special material for monuments, sculptures and other valuables. The book also acts as a guide to the key monuments, places and objects that distinguish the region of Ancash and its archaeology.
