Description:	This book investigates how state collapse and social reorganization impacts human bodies, from the level of individual molecules, up to the scale of entire archaeological populations. One only has to observe contemporary studies of “state failure” to intuit that the disaggregation of complex societies can have signifi cant biological, social, and cultural implications for the people who emerge from such transformations. As society is reconfi gured, communities, groups of people therein, and individual human bodies are both conceptually and physically altered. Using the collapse of an archaic Andean empire and the societies that emerged post-collapse as a case study, this research comprehensively evaluates the nature of shifts in several key domains that would have been profoundly affected by the fragmentation of a once expansive and seemingly timeless empire
