Description: "Based on evidence obtained at 17 preceramic, 20 early Tiwanaku, 3 classic Tiwanaku, 1 late Tiwanaku, and 4 Inca sites, argues that interpretations of State formation have been distorted by European perspective. Archaeological, historical, and ethnographic evidence support a segmentary State model rather than a centralized bureaucracy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
