of the Universidad Mayor de San Marcos in
Lima and the Museo de Antropologia in Mag-
dalena, this monograph is dedicated, in recogni-
tion of the fact that the founding of the Institute
of Andean Research was the result of stimulation
and suggestion by Dr. Tello during his visit to
the United States in 1936; and in appreciation
also of the importance of his decades of arche-
ological exploration in his native country. These
explorations have served as a basis for the arche-
ological investigations which the Institute of
Andean Research, as well as other North Amer-
ican institutions of learning, have been able to
provide for a series of younger scholars in recent
years, to the mutual enhancement of the intel-
lectual interests and cultural linkage of Peru and
the United States.
