Regional Archaeology in the Inca HeartlandThe Hanan Cuzco
Surveys
Memoir, number 55
The Cuzco region of highland Peru was the heartland of the Inca
empire,
the largest native state to develop in the Americas.
Archaeologists have
studied Inca monumental architecture for more than a century,
but it
is only in recent decades that regional survey work has
systematically
sought to reconstruct patterns of settlement, subsistence, and
social
organization in the region. This monograph presents the results
of regional
surveys conducted (from 2000 to 2008) to the north and west of
the city
of Cuzco, a region of approximately 1200 square kilometers that
was
investigated using the same field methodology as other
systematic surveys
in the Cuzco region. The study region, referred to as Hanan
Cuzco in thisvolume, encompasses considerable environmental
variations ranging
from warm valley-bottom lands to snow-capped mountains. The
chapters
in this volume present settlement pattern data from all periods
of pre-
Columbian occupationfrom the arrival of the first
hunter-gatherers to
the transformation of valley-bottom fields by the last Inca
emperors. A
chapter on the Colonial period discusses how Spanish colonial
practices
transformed an imperial landscape into a peripheral one.
Together, the
chapters in this volume contribute to the archaeological
understanding of
several central issues in Andean prehistory.
