Prehistoric Settlement Patterns in the Viru Valley, Peruby: Willey, Gordon R. - Product Image

Prehistoric Settlement Patterns in the Viru Valley, Peru
by: Willey, Gordon R.

Hardcover. Washington DC, GPO, 1st, 1952, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, green cloth covers. Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 155. 453 pages, 60 plates, 88 figures including several large fold outs, appendix & bibliography. In 1946 the first attempt to study settlement patterns in the Americas took place in the Viru Valley, led by Gordon Willey. Rather than examine individual settlement sites, Willey wanted to look at the valley as a whole and the way that each village interacted with the others. The study showed that villages were located in places which reflected their relationship with the wider landscape and their neighbours. The project emphasised the importance for archaeologists of viewing sites holistically and to take into account the economic, environmental, social and political factors acting on past societies. Clean, bright copy with all plates and fold-outs in excellent condition. Owner's name inside front cover.
