title = "Khipu historiography",
abstract = "This article considers the historiography of khipus, the corded fibre technology used in the Andes to record information such as demographic data, inventories, labour tribute, histories, genealogies, biographies and missives. An overview of archeological and ethnographic khipus is first presented. This essay then addresses the following two questions: (1) how can khipus inform us about Inka history; and (2) how do modern khipus serve as sites of memory and identity?",
