Reviews

Lau presents a spirited defense of the intermediate period/horizon chronological scheme of Andean archaeology, arguing that the marked regionalism of the Early Intermediate Period was mediated by a peculiar politics of alterity. This well-researched, thought-provoking book will appeal widely to archaeologists working in the Andes and beyond. Summing Up: Highly recommended. - E. R. Swenson, University of Toronto, in CHOICE
