{"product_id":"9781787357419","title":"Rethinking the Andes?Amazonia Divide by","description":"\u003cp\u003eNowhere on Earth is there an ecological transformation so swift and so extreme as between the snow-line of the high Andes and the tropical rainforest of Amazonia. The different disciplines that research the human past in South America have long tended to treat these two great subzones of the continent as self-contained enough to be taken independently of each other. Objections have repeatedly been raised, however, to warn against imagining too sharp a divide between the people and societies of the Andes and Amazonia, when there are also clear indications of significant connections and transitions between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking the Andes?Amazonia Divide\u003c\/i\u003e brings together archaeologists, linguists, geneticists, anthropologists, ethnohistorians and historians to explore both correlations and contrasts in how the various disciplines see the relationship between the Andes and Amazonia, from deepest prehistory up to the European colonial period. The volume emerges from an innovative programme of conferences and symposia conceived explicitly to foster awareness, discussion and co-operation across the divides between disciplines. Underway since 2008, this programme has already yielded major publications on the Andean past, including \u003ci\u003eHistory and Language in the Andes\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) and\u003ci\u003e Archaeology and Language in the Andes\u003c\/i\u003e (2012).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eRethinking the Andes?Amazonia Divide\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Without a doubt [this is] a book that is worth having as a reference source for the study and work of archaeology in South America.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAntropolog?a: Cuardernos de Investigaci?n\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This book stands as the benchmark in the academic dialogue: it is required reading for regional archaeologists or others interested in Indigenous people.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLatin American Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305677533557,"sku":"9781787357419","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781787357419.jpg?v=1762798189","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781787357419","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
