Handbook of South American Archaeology
ISBN: 9780387752280 / Angielski / Miękka / 1192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Perhaps the contributions of South American archaeology to the larger field of world archaeology have been inadequately recognized. If so, this is probably because there have been relatively few archaeologists working in South America outside of Peru and recent advances in knowledge in other parts of the continent are only beginning to enter larger archaeological discourse. Many ideas of and about South American archaeology held by scholars from outside the area are going to change irrevocably with the appearance of the present volume. Not only does the Handbook of South American Archaeology...

Taken together, the essays model different ways of approaching Latin America's urban centers not only as places that inspire...

ISBN: 9781598742305 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Gustavo Politis, one of the most renowned South American archaeologists, comes the first in-depth study in English of the last "undiscovered" people of the Amazon.
