This book examines Inka stone masonry, a major hallmark of their culture, tracing the process from extraction through dressing techniques to stone-block transport and use. The Inkas' five most exploited quarries within the Cuzco region are examined with particular emphasis on the Llama Pit of Rumiqolqa Quarry. The main styles of wall construction are categorised and their application to different kinds of Inka buildings are examined. The implications of apparently earthquake-proof walls are explored. In a new publishing-departure for BAR, a CD with 100 colour photos is included in this book
