Dear Listeros, 
I would like to announce the following new book series on Pre-
Columbian America:


The Early Americas: History and Cultures

Edited by Alexander Geurds

Description:
Brill Publishers (www.brill.nl) is proud to announce a new 
Book Series focused on cross-disciplinary studies related to 
the Pre-Columbian Americas. The series is geared toward 
incorporating studies that center on well-studied regions of 
the Americas, as well as those that could be considered to 
have a pioneering regional character. The temporal emphasis is 
on the later Pre-Colonial periods and the initial phase of the 
Colonial period, but manuscripts on earlier periods will also 
be considered. Examples of books include those focused on the 
archaeological development of a sub-region in the Americas, 
multidisciplinary studies that look at the Conquest period, 
new perspectives on inter-regional interaction in the Americas 
and studies on indigenous ritual and religious practices. 
Scholars at the beginning stages of their career are also 
encouraged to submit. 

Brill Publishers is a commercial publishing house focused on 
academic texts and journals. Utilizing an extensive 
distribution network in Europe and the US, it produces high-
quality books with expeditious turnaround times.
