The Ancient Andean States combines modern social theory, recent archaeological literature, and the experience of the author to examine politics and power in the great Andean pre-Hispanic societies.

The ancient Andean states were the great shapers of Peruvian prehistory. Social complexity, architectural monumentality, and specialized economic production, among others, were features of these sophisticated societies known by professionals and travelers from around the world. How and when these states emerged and succeeded is still debated. By examining Andean pre-Hispanic societies such as Caral, Sechín, Chavín, Moche, Wari, Chimú, and Inca, this book delves into their political and economic structures as well as explores their ideological worldviews. It reveals how these societies were organized and how different social groups interacted in the states.

Archaeologists and anthropologists interested in Peruvian archaeology and the political and social structures of ancient societies will find this book to be a valuable addition to their shelves.

Henry Tantaleán is a Peruvian archaeologist from Lima. He studied archaeology at the National University of San Marcos, where he is currently a full professor. He obtained a master's degree and Ph.D. from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. His interests are social theory and archaeological applications, Andean archaeology, and origins of the Andean pre-Hispanic states. He is the author of several academic publications. Recently, he published Peruvian Archaeology: A Critical History (Routledge, 2016) and edited the volume Andean Ontologies: New Archaeological Perspectives.
