An ambitious undertaking in crossing the boundaries between social science disciplines points to novel insights. Crossing disciplinary boundaries is not easy since archaeologists are not trained to read documents, and historians and social anthropologists may be uneasy when faced with precolumbian material remains. The task continues, but the initial efforts of the "Andean Encounter" in Cajamarca is presented in this volume. Chapters about Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina were written by Segundo Moreno Yánez, Lorenzo Huertas Vallejos, Calogero Santoro, Jorge Hidalgo, Sonia Alconini, Veronica Williams, Ana María Lorandi, María Rostworowski, and several other authors. In Spanish.

Excerpt from introduction:
"The following original article by Gordon R.Willey, written in 2002, near the end of his life, and at the request of the editors of Andean Past, represents his reminiscences about his introduction to Peruvian archaeology in general and the Institute of Andean Research (IAR), in particular. It is part of our series on the history of institutions that have been important in Andean archaeology during the twentieth century. It follows my article on the history of the Northeast Conference on Andean Archaeology and Ethnohistory (NCAAE) published in Andean Past 6 (2000/01) and that of David L. Browmanon the Midwest Conference on Andean and Amazonian Archaeology and Ethnohistory in the same volume".

Nispa ninchis/decimos diciendo : conversaciones con John Murra, 2000 by Castro, Victoria, Carlos Aldunate and Jorge Hidalgo.
Instituto de Estudios Andinos y Institute of Andean Research, Lima. ISBN 9972 51-038-7.
Bajo el formato de una conversación, ágil y vivaz, este libro presenta las vivencias de un gran estudioso de las sociedades de los Andes, cuya vida ha sido guiada por valores éticos, profundamente humanistas, y que ha buscado permanentemente mostrar los logros culturales donde otros sólo ven pobreza.
Su combate por la diversidad y en contra de todas las formas de discriminación e injusticia, han hecho de John Murra, no sólo un observador o investigador de la realidad, sino también alguien que 'ha luchado por su transformación.
Ser el maestro de la historia andina es sólo una faceta de un hombre que también fue soldado y activista político. Sin lo último, probablemente jamás habríamos conocido su visión de la «verticalidad andina». Nispa Ninchis fue el nombre quechua de un Boletín que John Murra y José María Arguedas planearon publicar en los mediados de los años sesenta, dando cuenta de las nuevas investigaciones sobré los Andes.
El proyecto quedó, trunco con la muerte de Arguedas, aunque un número llegó a aparecer en 1970, bajo la dirección de John.
