February 8, 2023
Frances Hayashida, professor of Anthropology and director of the Latin American and Iberian Institute at The University of New Mexico, has received the Society for American Archaeology Book Award in the Scholarly category for Rethinking the Inka: Community, Landscape, and Empire in the Southern Andes published by the University of Texas Press.
Hayashida co-edited the book with colleagues Andrés Troncoso and Diego Salazar, both associate professors of Anthropology at the University of Chile. Hayashida has been invited to receive the award in person at the annual SAA meeting in March in Oregon.
"The book highlights exceptional research by South American archaeologists from Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia on the Inka Empire," Hayashida said. "It was truly a collaborative, international effort and the award is for all of us, including the contributors and the co-editors, Andrés Troncoso and Diego Salazar from the Universidad de Chile.”
