Title:	The Handbook of South American Archaeology
Authors:	Helaine, Silverman William H., Isbell
Keywords:	South American Archaeology
Issue Date:	2008
Publisher:	Springer
Description:	We have organized the volume’s sections according to several grand themes that we see as salient, but recognize that other scholars would have chosen other themes. Alternative organizational schemes, which we considered seriously, would have produced an equally coherent volume. Also, even within the final framework certain chapters could have been placed in more than one section of the HSAA (for instance, Schaan’s treatment of Marajó Island could have been placed in the section on lowland moundbuilders and Heckenberger’s discussion of Amazonia could have been placed in the section on nonstate complexity). We have sought to strike a balance in the HSAA, yet recognize that criticism surely will be forthcoming when this volume is reviewed. The important thing is that the HSAA provides intensive and extensive coverage of South American prehistory. We propose that readers and, particularly, professors use this volume’s chapters according to whatever sequential, geographic, or thematic scheme they are most comfortable with.
