The Andean idea of death differs markedly from the Western view. In the Central Andes death is not conceptually separated from life, nor is it viewed as a permanent state. Death is seen as an extension of vitality. This volume considers recent research by archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, ethnographers, and ethnohistorians whose work reveals the diversity and complexity of the dead-living interaction.
