Recognising strategies for conquered territories: a case study from the Inka North Calchaquí Valley

Abstract: In this detailed study of fifteenth-century settlements in Argentina, the authors show how the Inka did not just use force, production and ritual to subdue the indigenous population. The conquerors' strategy included the re-ordering of settlement plans, routeways and landscape, class separation and even the imposition of a rigorous discipline on the indigenous vision, controlling what could be seen looking out or looking in. The material readings made in these South American examples have much to offer to arch… Show more

“…En otro trabajo hemos mostrado que la arquitectura de la plaza de Guitián restringía la proyección de la vista al interior de los complejos inkaicos dada la distribución asimétrica de sus accesos (salvo en el caso de la kallanka) (Acuto et al 2012). Para aquellos que se adentrasen en la plaza, la altura de las paredes aseguraba que la atención se concentrase necesariamente en la plataforma ceremonial, quedando la accesibilidad visual a ciertos rasgos del paisaje circundante reservada al/los oficiantes posicionados sobre el ushnu.…”

“…Here, Inka administrators would honor local leaders with food, drink, and gifts, creating fictive reciprocity between them that masked the fact that local lords had become dependent on the Inka administration to access luxury goods (D'Altroy et al, 1985(D'Altroy et al, , 2000. Archaeological research in wak'as centers on the idea of Inka appropriation of local ritual space in order to materialize their political control and communicate their power to their subjected communities (Acuto, 2005;Acuto et al, 2012;Kosiba, 2012). While Chase's (2018) work shows Inka reinvention of local ritual landscapes in Huarochir ı, my research also suggests the simultaneous transformation of Inka ritual space through local tradition.…”

“…The pattern at Yanawilka also contrasts with Inca policy in the hostile context of frontier areas. In the area of modern north-western Argentina, for example, the Inca made great efforts to reorder native sacred landscapes and settlement patterns for the purposes of control (Acuto 2012;Acuto et al 2012;Acuto & Leibowicz 2018). The Inca occupation of the Soras and Andamarca Lucanas peoples revealed that the Inca were more likely to install administrative buildings in the settlements of rebellious groups (Meddens & Schreiber 2010).…”
