"""Carving the world"": Inca monumental sculpture and landscape"

This thesis contains the results of an archaeological and ethnohistorical study of carved rocks, created by native Americans during the fifteenth and early part of the sixteenth centuries A.D. in Peru and adjacent Andean countries. In this study a typology and catalogue of forms of Inca monumental sculpture is presented. The physical context of these carved rocks is discussed, whether they have been integrated within architectural settings, or are to be found near springs, rivers and irrigation-canals. Arguments are presented to suggest that three separate styles can be distinguished.
