Prehistoria I
Manual actualizado de cada uno de los temas con respecto a las ediciones anteriores. El objetivo primordial de este manual es que los estudiantes adquieran no solo unas nociones y criterios básicos sobre Prehistoria y Protohistoria, sino, sobre todo una metodología de trabajo y estudio en la que se desarrollen su capacidad de análisis y de síntesis. A través de este manual pretendemos que aquel estudiante que lo desee, obtenga unos conocimientos específicos y comprenda la peculiaridades de la Prehistoria desde el punto de vista de la cultura material y de aquellas gentes que la llevaron a cabo, sin renunciar a conocer los aspectos socio-culturales, de medio ambiente, los recursos potenciales de éste y, por tanto, los modelos económicos, la distribución y relaciones entre los diferentes asentamientos, la reconstrucción demográfica y etnoarqueológica, por citar algunos de los más importantes aspectos que subrayan los diferentes tendencias o métodos de la Prehistoria.
The Great Inka Road
This compelling collection of essays explores the Qhapaq nan (or Great Inca Road), an extensive network of trails reaching modern-day Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. These roads and the accompanying agricultural terraces and structures that have survived for more than six centuries are a testament to the advanced engineering and construction skills of the Inca people. The Qhapaq nan also spurred an important process of ecological and community integration across the Andean region. This book, the companion volume to a National Museum of the American Indian exhibition of the same name, features essays on six main themes: the ancestors of the Inca, Cusco as the center of the empire, road engineering, road transportation and integration, the road in the Colonial era, and the road today. Beautifully designed and featuring more than 225 full-color illustrations, The Great Inka Road is a fascinating look at this enduring symbol of the Andean peoples' strength and adaptability.
