Maritime Communities of the Ancient Andes

Gabriel Prieto and Daniel H. Sandweiss

Abstract

Maritime Communities of the Ancient Andes examines how settlements along South America’s Pacific coastline played a role in the emergence, consolidation, and collapse of Andean civilizations from the Late Pleistocene era through Spanish colonization. Providing the first synthesis of data from Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, this wide-ranging volume evaluates and revises long-standing research on ancient maritime sites across the region.

Keywords: Andean civilizations, Late Pleistocene era, ancient maritime sites
