Resumen
Por todo el antiguo Perú, el Horizonte Medio tradicionalmente ha sido caracterizado por la presencia o influencia del Imperio wari. Con la exploración reciente de áreas hasta hace poco desconocidas, esta perspectiva está considerada anticuada y sin valor. Aunque mucha gente del Horizonte Medio pudo no haber estado bajo el control administrativo de los wari, otra gente si lo estaba y esta diferencia, la cual existía por todas las regiones, representaba el sistema imperialista. Habiendo dicho esto, las investigaciones sobre el Horizonte Medio en Cuzco ofrecen una oportunidad única para estudiar una región bajo el control administrativo directo de los wari. Investigaciones en los sitios arqueológicos wari en Cuzco muestran que esta región ha estado no solo controlada estrictamente por el gobierno de la capital wari, sino que también fue un control que duró por más que dos siglos. Este capítulo revisa la evidencia del intercambio que hubo entre los wari del Cuzco y la gente de otras regiones, para poder llegar a un entendimiento de la naturaleza de este control. También se considera cómo Cuzco funcionaba y la influencia del imperio.
Traditionally, the Middle Horizon has been characterized by the presence or influence of Wari imperialism throughout ancient Peru. With lesser known areas of the Andes now being explored, this view is considered somewhat passé, monolithic, and lacking heuristic value. Although many Middle Horizon peoples may not have fallen under the rubric of direct Wari control, others certainly did, and it is this variability in degrees of administrative control across regions that is considered a classic hallmark of imperialism. With that said, Middle Horizon research in Cuzco offers a unique opportunity to study a Wari region that was under direct imperial control. Archaeological investigations of Wari Cuzco sites show that this region was not only tightly administered by the Wari heartland, but also that the control that the Wari imposed upon it endured for more than two centuries. This chapter reviews evidence for exchange between the Cuzco Wari and people in other regions towards an understanding of its highly controlled nature. It considers how Cuzco was run and why it was so important to the empire as a whole.
