This book presents the data on recent and ancient South Americans within the context of a consistent and explicit theoretical framework. It is an important source for all anthropologists who seek to understand cultural variability from both an ethnographic and archaeological perspective.

Utilizing ethnographic and archaeological data and an updated paradigm derived from the best features of cultural ecology and ecological anthropology, this extensively illustrated book addresses over fifteen South American adaptive systems representing a broad cross section of band, village, chiefdom, and state societies throughout the continent ov

David J. Wilson is associate professor of anthropology and director of undergraduate at Southern Methodist University.
