AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this book, Bauer argues that the development of the Inca state was the culmination of a gradual consolidation and centralization of state authority over time and not a consequence of one epic battle as conveyed in Inca and Spanish narratives. His archaeological and ethnohistorical research focused on the Cuzco Valley in Paruro Province, which was occupied by four ethnic groups. A comparison of site and ceramic distributions between the Killke (1000-1400) and Inca (1400-1532) Periods does not support a picture of intense regional warfare prior to the rise of the Inca state, rather one of peaceful trade and exchange. Also, identical settlement patterns between the two periods suggest a continuity of social organization based on AYULLA and moiety affiliations.
