Paisajes de dependencia en Cochabamba durante el Tawantinsuyu y la colonia temprana
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-11-01) Gabelmann, Olga; Noack, Karoline
One of the major transformations of the landscape and ecosystem that the Cochabamba Valley underwent was due to the conquest by the Incas, which caused the displacement of its population and the relocation of mitimaes from all parts of Tawantinsuyu to work the newly expropriated state lands. Thus, the valley became a new centre of dependency and consolidation of the Inca state. Only shortly afterwards, the Spanish conquest, through new displacements of labour, created colonial dependencies, but based on already-existing structures, especially on the state farms. The lands themselves became the nucleus of colonial exploitation and therefore the focus of conflicts between Spaniards and indigenous people, but also between the indigenous people themselves. Our aim is to understand the intertwining of the dependencies created in the course of both conquests, which were reflected in various modifications of the landscape and ecosystem. To do so, we innovatively use combined archaeological (GIS mapping, survey, excavation) and ethnohistorical (data systematisation and toponymy) methods, so as to understand the location and use of land in the changing dependency landscapes of the Cochabamba valley from the Late Intermediate Period (1000/1100-1470 AD) to the early colonial period (1538-1700 AD).

De lo visible a lo oculto: un estudio de visibilidad (SIG) en la región de Vilcabamba, Andes peruanos, durante los periodos Intermedio Tardío y Horizonte Tardío
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-10-25) Conrad, Claire; Mader, Christian
The prehispanic Andes are an environment teeming with living beings, both human and non-human. Non-human entities exhibit many similar traits to Andean societies, including a hierarchy, characters with individual personalities and motivations. Regular interactions between humans and these entities were necessary to protect against them. Especially the most important entities, the highest peaks called apus, were potential protectors, but also a constant threat. Visibility and sight are an important aspect in the relationship, as anything within sight of an apu could be considered under its influence and thus could receive a positive or negative impact depending on its mood. This article focuses on that connection between Andean communities and the powerful apus, and how the Inca state could have used architecture to disrupt it using the example of the Vitcos valley. After the incorporation of the Vilcabamba region into the Tawantinsuyu, the Incas built Vitcos as their administrative and religious center and the former larger site Viracochan was abandoned. This meant moving a high-altitude settlement to the valley floor, changing the area that was visible to humans on a daily basis and impacting their communication with the apus of the Cordillera Vilcabamba.
