Into the Field: Archaeology Field School Abroad | Chavin de Huantar Art: Lesson Clip

Learn about the graphic art found at the Chavin de Huantar archaeology site in Peru, and how this art was used to help develop “the idea of authority” in this region, setting the social structure “that certain people had a right to rule and a right to make demands and a right to basically run the world…” (Into the Field: Archaeology Field School Abroad, 2015).
