In this volume Davies describes in detail the intensive archaeological studies of recent decades that have greatly increased our knowledge of the Incas. The Incas is the first serious, comprehensive work in more than thirty years to attempt to understand the Inca phenomenon. The result of years of research by ethnohistorian Nigel Davies, this volume offers a broad, clear view of the Incas, embracing the various aspects of their culture and achievements. Davies chronicles early Spanish events and sources and reviews modern scholarship including recent scientific studies, Inca political history, economy, administration, religion, art, architecture, and daily life.
