Margaret Brown Vega recently had a chapter published in a bilingual, edited volume entitled Comparative
Perspectives on the Archaeology of Coastal South America / Perspectivas
Comparativas sobre la Arqueología de la Costa Sudamericana, edited by Robyn E.
Cutright, Enrique López-Hurtado, and Alexander J. Martín, published by
University of Pittsburgh Center for Comparative Archaeology, Pontificia
Universidad Católica del Perú (Lima), and Ministerio de Cultura del Ecuador
(Quito), 2010.
Description of the book:
"Thirteen papers by archaeologists from North and South America on the archaeology of coastal Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. The authors have all emphasized comparative approaches to prehispanic societies along the Pacific coast. They give preference neither to high theory nor to case-specific empirical details, but rather attempt to answer theoretically important research questions with appropriate methodologies and empirical datasets--ones that are amenable to a broad comparative view."
The chapter is entitled: Regional Patterns of Fortification and Single Forts: Evaluating the Articulation of Regional Sociopolitical Dynamics with Localized Phenomena.
