Críticas:

Review of the hardback: '... I recommend this book to readers interested in South American archaeology and ethnography, as well as to those interested in other mind-building cultures ... an empirically rich contribution to explorations of heterarchy, political economies and 'corporate' polities in prehistory. The book should stimulate creative thinking about shamanism, mound-building and the nature of political ties in other mound-building societies both in the ancient New World and further afield.' Cambridge Archaeological Journal
