Investigates mortuary practices, shamanism, and the central importance of cannibalism to Wari' culture. Examination of cannibalism under two aspects, 'exo-' and 'endo-' cannibalism, referring to the domains of cosmos and society respectively, reveals predation as the dominant organizing principle of Wari' worldview"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
