Ethnographic analogy features too in some of the pa-pers in Chav´ın: art, architecture and culture. Ever sincethe 1930s, when the great Peruvian archaeologist JulioC. Tello identified it as the font of Andean civilisation,the monumental site of Chav´ın de Huantar, high inthe Central Andes in Ancash, has loomed over Andeanprehistory. And while this status has long been underassault, Chav´ın material culture – the so-called ‘EarlyHorizon’ – continues to mark the first period in whichsome degree of unity is visible in the archaeologicalrecord across great expanses of the Central Andes.For Richard Burger and many others its iconographyof fanged ‘chimeras’ – wonderfully illustrated in thispublication – conveys dread purpose. Burger (p. 91)evokes precisely this in his proposed name of Manchay(from the Quechua for ‘to be afraid’) for a currentlyunnamed precursor culture of the Central Coast.Indeed this illustrates how relatively unexplored thearchaeology of the Andes still is; for where elsedo entire ‘cultures’ still remain nameless? Burger isperhaps the leading authority on the Early Horizonand he contributes two papers to this volume, theproduct of a round-table at Dumbarton Oaks heldsome three decades on from a precursor meetingthere published under the same title. This collectionbenefits from the excellent editing of Quilter andConklin, the latter also contributing a typically lucidchapter on Chav´ın textiles
