Resumen
La costa norte del Perú, un área abundante en recursos y población, fue conquistada por los inkas hacia 1470 d.C. Sin embargo, es difícil definir esta conquista a partir de los restos arqueológicos debido a la relativa ausencia de arquitectura y objetos hechos según los cánones estilísticos del Cusco imperial, y a la persistencia de los estilos locales. Este hecho también ha impedido que se establezca una cronología del periodo prehispánico tardío. A pesar de ello, investigaciones arqueológicas en centros locales e instalaciones estatales han aportado creciente evidencia para entender el impacto del dominio inka en la organización política y económica de la costa norte. Asimismo, excavaciones en sitios de producción de cerámica inka han revelado que los ceramistas reclutados por el Estado produjeron vasijas en estilos locales e inkas utilizando técnicas locales. Hechos como este podrían haber estado ligados al uso y significado de los diferentes tipos de objetos por parte del Estado, así como a las políticas inkas de reclutamiento de mano de obra y de la conveniencia de mantener los marcadores étnicos. La comprensión real del dominio inka, así como la capacidad de descifrar su registro arqueológico, se facilitan a través de un análisis de la compleja relación existente entre estilo y entidades sociopolíticas.
Reading the Material Record of Inka Rule: Perspectives from the North Coast of PerúThe Peruvian north coast was an area rich in people and resources that was conquered by the Inka in ca. 1470. The Inka presence in the north coast has been difficult to define archaeologically because of the relative absence of architecture and objects following Cuzco canons as well as the apparent conservatism or persistence of north coastal styles, which have hampered efforts to define a chronology of the late prehispanic period. Despite these problems, fieldwork at local centers and state installations has revealed increasing evidence for the impact of Inka rule on north coastal political and economic organization. In addition, research at Inka pottery manufacturing locations has shown that potters recruited to work for the state made vessels in both local and Inka styles using local techniques. These practices are arguably linked to the use and meaning of different kinds of objects by the state, as well as Inka policies of labor recruitment and the maintenance of ethnic markers. By examining the complex relationship between style and polity, we improve our understanding of Inka rule and as well as our ability to decipher the Inka archaeological record.
