The Inka Empire
Massive yet elegantly executed masonry architecture and andenes (agricultural terraces) set against majestic and seemingly boundless Andean landscapes, roads built in defiance of rugged terrains, and fine textiles with orderly geometric designs—all were created within the largest political system in the ancient New World, a system headed, paradoxically, by a single, small minority group without wheeled vehicles, markets, or a writing system, the Inka. For some 130 years (ca. A.D. 1400 to 1533), the Inka ruled over at least eighty-six ethnic groups in an empire that encompassed about 2 million square kilometers, from the northernmost region of the Ecuador–Colombia border to northwest Arge...
Variations in the Expression of Inka Power
Until recently, little archaeological investigation has been dedicated to the Inka, the last great culture in Andean South America before the 16th-century arrival of the Spaniards. Using both theoretical and methodological approaches, scholars of the sciences, social sciences, and humanities provide a new understanding of Inka culture and history.
Die Toten von Bayreuth
Eine toughe Ermittlerin mit eigenem Kopf und ein Mörder ohne Gewissen. Hauptkommissarin Mira Streitberg hat es nicht leicht. Nicht nur, dass sie in ihren Chef der Kripo Bayreuth verliebt ist und sich mit einem neuen Kollegen herumschlagen muss – plötzlich liegen auch gleich zwei grausame Mordfälle auf ihrem Tisch. Beide Opfer wurden eingesperrt und zurückgelassen, bis sie qualvoll zu Tode kamen. Einziges Indiz: eine rätselhafte Botschaft, die sich an den Tatorten fand. Kann Mira sie entschlüsseln, bevor der Täter erneut zuschlägt?

The Routledge Handbook of Archaeology and Globalization
This unique collection applies globalization concepts to the discipline of archaeology, using a wide range of global case studies from a group of international specialists. The volume spans from as early as 10,000 cal. BP to the modern era, analysing the relationship between material culture, complex connectivities between communities and groups, and cultural change. Each contributor considers globalization ideas explicitly to explore the socio-cultural connectivities of the past. In considering social practices shared between different historic groups, and also the expression of their respective identities, the papers in this volume illustrate the potential of globalization thinking to brid...
Inca Apocalypse
Inca Apocalypse develops a new perspective on the European invasions of the Inca realm, and the way that the Spanish transformation of the Andes relates to broader changes occurring in the transition from medieval to early modern Europe. The book is structured to foreground some of the parallels in the imperial origins of the Incas and Spain, as well as some of the global processes affecting both societies during the first century of their interaction. The Spanish conquest of the Inca empire was more than a decisive victory at Cajamarca in 1532-it was an uneven process that failed to bring to pass the millenarian vision that set it in motion, yet it succeeded profoundly in some respects. The...
