Reviews

'Karen Olsen Bruhns took on a formidable task when she set out to write a synthesis of our general state of knowledge of Ancient South America. The book she wrote is a triumph. It is so well crafted and informative that it should be owned by everyone and anyone interested in the native cultures of South America. It can serve as an introductory text, a chance for the professional to brush up on the latest developments outside of his or her specialty, or as a reference work to keep close by one's desk.' American Anthropologist
