Nasca society arose on the south coast of Peru 2000 years ago and evolved over the course of the next 700 years. This text examines the range of sites occupied by the people responsible for some of the most exquisite art and ingenious hydraulic engineering of the pre-Columbian world.

"This pathbreaking book provides a much needed regional perspective on ancient Nasca society. It nicely complements existing site-specific studies and effectively applies concepts of agency, heterarchy, and landscape to a massive body of new archaeological data. Because Silverman challenges some now-traditional approaches, her work helps orient productive debate among scholars who seek to refine the interpretation of spatial patterning at the regional level."
