Emerging in the area of modern Ayacucho (Peru) around AD 650, the Wari expanded to control much of the central Andes by the time of their collapse at AD 1000. This book describes the discovery and excavation (2010-2012) of a major new Wari site (Espiritu Pampa), located in the subtropical region of Vilcabamba (Department of Cuzco). While it was long believed that the Wari established trade networks between their highland capital and the Amazonian lowlands, the identification of a large Wari site in the Vilcabamba region came as a surprise to most Wari specialists. This book covers the first three years of excavations at the Wari site of Espiritu Pampa. It describes the identification of a central plaza surrounded by a series of D-shaped structures, that are believed to the loci of special activates for the Wari. It also describes the contents of more than 30 burials, many of which contained finely crafted silver, gold, bronze and ceramic objects.

Book excerpt: Featuring approximately 145 of the most sumptuous and culturally significant Wari objects from collections in the United States, Peru, and Europe, and published to accompany the first exhibition in North America of their startlingly beautiful art An eminent ancestor of the better-known Inca, the Wari ascended to power in the south-central highlands of Peru in about AD 600, underwent a brief period of incandescently explosive growth, and then, by AD 1000, collapsed. Elite arts and the ideologies that informed them were among the Wari’s most prominent exports. From their capital, one of the largest archaeological sites in South America, they sent their religion along with elaborate objects and textiles out to highland provincial centers hundreds of miles to the north and south, and down into populous Pacific coastal areas to the west. The arts were crucial to the Wari’s political, economic, and religious communications: like other ancient Andean peoples, they did not write. The objects featured here cover the full range of Wari arts: elaborate textiles, which probably were at the core of their value systems; sophisticated ceramics of various styles; exquisite personal ornaments made of gold, silver, shell, or bone and often inlaid with precious materials; carved wood containers; and other works in stone and fiber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on research conducted in Cuzco, Peru,The Wari Civilization and Their Descendants: Imperial Transformation in Pre-Inca Cuzco, Peru analyzes the political and social transformations that led to the downfall of the Wari civilization in the Andean Middle Horizon period (AD 500–1000) and resulted in the rise of the Inca state. The contributors to this collection present evidence of the Wari civilization’s robust, imperialistic occupation of Cuzco, and argue that this presence laid the groundwork for later regional polities that can be traced to the Late Horizon Inca period (AD 1476–1532). This collection fills a gap in scholarly literature on Cuzco prehistory, the provincial southern highlands of the Wari civilization, and early imperialism in the Andes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Pandharpur Wari’ is a walking pilgrimage to Pandharpur! It’s a wonderful journey, enjoyed by the devotees, who dance and sing, while walking all the way to Pandharpur from Alandi. There is only one desire in every devotee’s (called warkari) heart, “I want to meet the Lord Vitthal at Pandharpur.” In recent years, many foreigners and students of social sciences have participated in the Wari, just to see and experience the joy of the journey. Many people from the well educated and also well to do class dream of joining the Wari. But they do not know how to prepare, how to join, and where, and what to expect in the arduous walking pilgrimage that extends to almost 20 days. So, the dream remains unfulfilled. This travelogue is also a guide. It is my effort to make that information and guidance available to prospective warkaris (those who walk in the Wari). It is based on my own journey in the Wari. I have added several photographs that speak more than the words!! I hope the aspirant reader will get charged, and the join the Wari to complete a lifetime ambition. I also hope to let the whole world know about this sacred pilgrimage. The curious reader may read, the seeker of joy of travelling may visit and the seeker of peace, happiness and God, may join the Wari and come to Pandharpur. Where else, on the earth, will you find God, standing eagerly, waiting for you?

Book excerpt: This is the first major study of any Chapakuran language and makes an important contribution to linguistic theory. This study is especially timely as the Chapakuran languages of Western Brazil and Eastern Bolivia are endangered, and less than 2,000 known speakers of Wari and its related dialects are left in existence.
