Description: "In 1994, almost 100 years after the first systematic archaeological research by Adolph Bandelier, Charles Stanish and Brian Bauer began work on the Islands of the Sun and Moon in southern Lake Titicaca. The Proyecto Tiksi Kjarka conducted a complete surface survey of the islands along with test excavations of important Inca, Tiwanaku, and pre-Tiwanaku sites. This book provides the final results of this work on one of the most important locations in the circum-Titicaca Basin." "This book provides detailed survey and excavation data indispensable for Andeanists and other scholars interested in the development of complex political, economic, and ritual systems in prehistory."--Jacket.
