In April 1969, John V. Murra (1916-2006) presented four lectures in the Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture Series at the University of Rochester. Using tapes and drafts in the Smithsonian Institution's National Anthropological Archives, the late Freda Yancy Wolf and Heather Lechtman prepared transcriptions of these talks, published for the first time in this volume, which includes Lechtman's helpful introductory essay, a glossary, and reproductions of a 1958 map by Joseph A. Tosi of Peru's ecological zones. Murra used the map to underscore the themes of ecology, agriculture, and land tenure explored in the lectures.
