Book Synopsis
Reveals a rare case of finding ethnicity by relying solely on archaeological remains. Howard Tsai analyses data from the excavation of Las Varas within a theoretical framework based on current understandings of ethnicity, and demonstrates the potential for archaeologists to discover how ethnic identities were constructed in the past.

Trade Review
Archaeologists and anthropologists have been interested in ethnicity for many years. Las Varas is a welcome addition to this literature, offering a unique study of relationships between different ethnic groups in the chaupiyunga zone." - Christina Conlee, author of Beyond the Nasca Lines: Ancient Life at La Tiza in the Peruvian Desert
