Críticas:

"...fills in a missing portion of the prehistoric record, and is a useful addition to the ceramic period sequence of C.B. Donnan and C.J. Mackey and the mummy studies of M.J. Allison and E. Gerszten. The data are of particular importance for Peruvian archaeologists." - Choice"

Reseña del editor:

Life and Death at Paloma, when published in 1989, was the first in-depth treatment of burials from a preagricultural South American village. It remains a valuable resource used by students and scholars of Andean archaeology. Jeffrey Quilter analyzes the life of Paloma's people during the transition from a hunting-gathering-fishing way of life to a more sedentary horticultural society and offers a study of preceramic Peruvian life through his analysis of this site's graves and their contents.
