Regional Archaeology in the Inca Heartland
The 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 feld methodology as other systematic surveys
in the Cuzco region. The study region, referred to as Hanan Cuzco in this
volume, 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 frst hunter-gatherers to
the transformation of valley-bottom felds 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.
