Welcome to Matt Bandy's Paper, Report, and publications archive, brought to you courtesy of andean.kulture.org. This is a more or less current list of my publications all dealing with aspects of Andean prehistory. I am attempting to make as many of these as possible available on the web. The ones that are currently available are linked. My conference papers and reports have been moved to separate pages, since this one was becoming so long as to be unmanageable.

A note on formats: most of these files are available in multiple formats. The most common of these are DjVu and PDF. Of these, the DjVu files are generally substantially smaller and of comparable quality. However, the DjVu files occasionally contain visual artifacts related to their translation from PDF files. Therefore, if you are concerned about download time and storage, generally the DjVu files are preferable. If you need to be certain that the document is free from graphical errors, then PDF is generally a better choice. Readers for both formats are freely available on the web for a variety of platforms (DjVu / PDF).
