How the Incas Built Their Heartland, State Formation And the Innovation of Imperial Strategies in the Sacred Valley, Peru
R. Alan Covey
HISTORY •  2006 •  HARD COVER  • 333 PAGES

Covey offers an alternative explanation of the origins and development of the Inca state, dispelling the mystery of the Incas' apparent rapid rise with evidence for a centuries-long gradual development. He draws upon archaeological research into the period between 1000 and 1400 CE to highlight long-term regional changes, rather than heroic actions of individual Inca kings.  (PRU95, $85.00)
