Unlike most studies of the Incas, Daily Life in the Inca Empire reconstructs the daily life not only of the ruling Inca elite but also of the rest of the society, including the conquered peoples.

From food and drink to religious rituals, the major aspects of life at all levels in the Inca empire are described and explained in a clear, accessible way. Over fifty illustrations are included, as well as a historical timeline of the Inca empire, a glossary, and a bibliography.
