	Cotsen Monographs 68 The Chanka: Archaeological Research in Andahuaylas (Apurimac), Peru by Brian S. Bauer, Lucas C. Kellet, and Miram Aráoz Silva In AD 1438 a battle took place outside the city of Cuzco that changed the course of South American history. The Chanka, a powerful ethnic group from the Andahuaylas region, had begun an aggressive program of expansion. Conquering a host of smaller polities, their army had advanced well inside the territory of their traditional rival, the Inca. In a series of unusual manoeuvres, the Inca defeated the invading Chanka forces and became the most ... Paperback. Price GB £50.00 Hardback. Price GB £75.00
	Cotsen Monographs 67 Inca Rituals and Sacred Mountains: A Study of the World's Highest Archaeological Sites by Johan Reinhard and Maria Constanza Ceruti The Incas carried out some of the most dramatic ceremonies known to us from ancient times.

The most important offerings made during these pilgrimages involved human sacrifices (capacochas). Although Spanish chroniclers wrote about these offerings and the state sponsored processions of which they were a ... Paperback. Price GB £36.00 Hardback. Price GB £64.00
	Cotsen Monographs 66 Gallinazo: An Early Cultural Tradition on the Peruvian North Coast edited by Jean-François Millaire and Magali Morlion Over the last decades, considerable effort has been directed towards the study of early complex societies of northern Peru, and in recent years archaeologists have expressed a strong interest in the art and archaeology of the Moche, Lambayeque and Chimú societies. Yet, comparatively little attention has been paid to the earlier cultural foundations of north coast civilization: the Gallinazo. In the recent years, however, the work of a number ... Paperback.

	Cotsen Monographs 64 The South American Camelids by Duccio Bonavia One of the most significant differences between the New World's major areas of high culture was that Mesoamerica had no beasts of burden and wool, while the Andes had both. Four members of the camelid family - wild guanacos and vicuñas, and domestic llamas and alpacas - were native to the Andes. South American populations relied on these animals for meat and wool, and as beasts of burden to transport goods all over the Andes. Bonavia's ... Paperback. Price GB £35.00 Hardback. Price GB £48.00
