- Title
Recognising strategies for conquered territories: a case study from the Inka North Calchaquí Valley.
- Authors
Acuto, Felix A.; Troncoso, Andrés; Ferrari, Alejandro
- Abstract
In this detailed study of fifteenth-century settlements in Argentina, the authors show how the Inka did not just use farce, 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 archaeologists working in colonial periods elsewhere.
