Andean Archaeology. II Art, Landscape, and Society : Springer : 9780306472503 : 0306472503 : 31 Jul 2002 : The second volume of specially commissioned essays to reflect on material evidence from the Andes moves the emphasis away from the socio-political structure of the region's early civilisations to reflect on the ways in which Andean culture was shaped by its art, architecture and landscape.

The eleven essays examine such varied topics as the camelid woman and feline man themes in Pucara style pottery, early Nasca textiles, proto-writing in Moche pottery, Chachapoya iconography and society, art and prestige among noble houses, the gateways of Tiwanaku, the iconography of a D-shaped ceremonial precinct at Conchopata, the correlation between geoglyphs and subterranean water resources and rock art in the northern Andean highlands. The papers are illustrated by photographs a
