    Landscape, Social Memory and Materiality in the Calchaquí Valley during Inka Domination in Northwest Argentina

    No full text
    During the last 30 years, investigations centered on Tawantinsuyu have provided new data regarding the nature and characteristics of the Inka Empire, and have shown variability in the processes of conquest and consolidation based on interdisciplinary approaches linking archaeology, history, paleoenvironmental studies, geography and toponymy, among others. In this paper, we shall explore the micro-political processes of a sector of Northwest Argentina (NWA) that was part of Collasuyu, with the goal of understanding Tawantinsuyu as a dynamic political entity that faced particular circumstances in every region, while at the same time recognizing that the differential development of archaeological research in the Andes may have accentuated or attenuated evidence for the empire or its consequences over local processes. We are also interested in showing the integration of a new corpus of data from some NWA regions using the concepts of materiality, landscape, and social memory. In the last few years some have argued that the Inka conquest had a marked symbolic/ritual character in which state colonization was manifested through the construction of a new landscape, based on Inka ideology.Fil: Williams, Veronica Isabel.

    Yavi-Chicha and the Inka expansion: A petrographic approach

    No full text
    The social complexities underlying imperial control are manifest in the material culture of everyday life encountered at archaeological sites. The Yavi-Chicha pottery style of the south-central Andes illustrates how local identities continued to be expressed in practices of pottery manufacture during the process of Inka expansion. The Yavi-Chicha style itself masks a number of distinct production processes that can be traced through petrographic analysis and that relate to the different communities by whom it was produced and consumed. The dispersion of pottery fabric types in this region may partly be attributable to the Inka practice of mitmaqkuna, the displacement and relocation of entire subject populations.Fil: Cremonte, Maria Beatriz.

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

    No full text
    One major concern regarding the study of ancient empires is how they ruled and controlled their subjects and justified their domination (see Alcock et al. 2001). This article explores ancient empires’ strategies of colonization and legitimacy, the Inka Empire’s in this case, taking into account that the Inka Empire or Tawantinsuyu was the outcome of a particular historical and socio-cultural trajectory and geographical context and, therefore, the nature of its power strategies and methods of domination differed from other ancient or modern forms of imperialism. We believe that the particularities of each case are sometimes more interesting than their similarities since they allow us to appreciate the diverse ways in which societies order and understand the world. This paper offers a case study that will contribute to deepen our understanding of the variability of ancient imperialism and that students of past empires can use to compare and contrast with their own cases. Here we examine Inka rule over the North Calchaquí Valley (Figure 1), showing that the strategic use of architecture and the manipulation of people’s corporal experience within Inka places were key aspects of Tawantinsuyu’s domination in the region.Fil: Ferrari, Alejandro Andrés.

    ¿Qué significaba el término inka?

    El presente artículo trata de los referentes y del significado del término inka desde la doble perspectiva de la historia y la lingüística. Muestra que los incas no fueron una nobleza ni un grupo étnico, sino una asociación militar. Analizando los usos que el término inka tuvo fuera del campo sociopolítico, define su significado como ‘apartado, separado (con respecto al común de los productores)’. La malinterpretación moderna de los incas prehispánicos como una nobleza se origina en la evolución colonial de los usos del término.Cet article traite des référents et du signifié du terme inka depuis la double perspective de l’histoire et de la linguistique. Il montre que les Incas n’étaient pas une noblesse ni un groupe ethnique mais une association militaire. En analysant les usages que le terme inka avait hors du champ socio-politique, il définit son signifié comme ‘séparé, mis à part (du commun des producteurs)’. Cest l’évolution coloniale des usages du terme qui est à l’origine de l’erreur d’interprétation moderne des Incas préhispaniques comme une noblesse.This article deals with referents and the signified of the term inka from the double perspective of history and linguistics. It shows that the Incas were not a nobility nor an ethnic group but a military association. By analyzing the uses that the term inka had outside the socio-political field, the author defines its signified as ‘separate, set apart (from common producers)’. It is the colonial evolution of the uses of the term which is at the origin of the modern misinterpretation of the prehispanic Incas as a nobility

    Southeast Inka Frontiers

    No full text
    Southeast Inka Frontiers explores how the Inka empire exercised control over vast expanses of land and peoples in the Southeastern frontier, a territory located over hundreds of kilometers away from the capital city of Cuzco. This frontier region was the setting for the fascinating encounter between the Inka, the largest empire in the pre-Columbian world, and the fierce Guaraní tribes from the tropical mountains and beyond. This singular encounter also occasioned radical shifts in the political economy of many indigenous frontier populations like the Yampara. Based on extensive field research, this manuscript explores these changes by using different scales of analysis and lines of evidence. Only through a deeper, cross-regional understanding of the multifaceted socioeconomic processes that transpired in the different Inka frontier regions can we elucidate the mechanics of this remarkable empire, and the associated effects on the lives of the indigenous populations.</p
