文档介绍：In this innovative volume, Jerry D. Moore discusses public architec-
ture in the context of the cultural, political, and religious life of the pre-
hispanic Andes. Archaeologists have invested enormous effort in
excavating and documenting prehistoric buildings, but analytical
approaches to architecture remain as yet underdeveloped. Architecture
and Power in the Ancient Andes uses new analytical methods to
approach architecture and its relationship to Andean society, explor-
ing three themes in particular: the architecture of monuments, the
architecture of ritual, and the architecture of social control. It provides
both a methodology for the study of public architecture and an
example of how that methodology can be applied. The author's clear
and richly illustrated discussion represents an original perspective on
architecture and its role in ritual, ideology, and power in the ancient
world.

Archaeology has made enormous advances recently, both in the volume of discoveries and in
its character as an intellectual discipline: new techniques have helped to further the range and
rigour of inquiry, and encouraged inter-munication.
The aim of this series is to make available to a wider audience the results of these develop-
ments. The coverage is worldwide and extends from the earliest hunting and gathering
societies to historical archaeology.
