Description
South America is still the least known continent in the world.
Isolated for all of prehistory and much of its history, it is quite alien to the average European, Asian, or North American.
Yet this continent witnessed the development of a series of cultures and of advanced civilizations which rival anything in Eurasia or Africa.
Independently South American peoples invented agriculture and domesticated animals, pottery, elaborate architecture, and the arts of working metals.
Tribes, chiefdoms, and immense conquest states rose, flourished, and disappeared leaving only their ruined monuments and broken artifacts as testimonials to past greatness.
Ancient South America encompasses ten millennia of cultural development and diversity.
Accessibly written and abundantly illustrated, this book will be enjoyed by students of archaeology, anthropology, and art history.
