Title information
This volume explores articulations in the archaeological and ethnohistorical records of kingship and rule in Chimor. Drawing on these two fields of study, the papers in this collection investigate the art, architectural, and archaeological remains at Chan Chan and related sites, as well as written sources to inform views of Chimor society. Together, the monuments and texts reveal fascinating information about Chimu statecraft and views of kingship, presenting an integrated overview of the northern dynasties and making possible a much fuller reconstruction of Indigenous culture.
