Resumen
El Imperio Incaico operó con un conjunto versátil de políticas que respondían a las diversas condiciones locales y, en consecuencia, el mismo estaba compuesto de un mosaico de paisajes diferentes. En los sectores central y centro-sur de la Quebrada de Humahuaca, en el norte de Argentina, el análisis combinado de diversos elementos nos ha permitido realizar inferencias acerca de la naturaleza y el grado de la intervención imperial, enriqueciendo así nuestra comprensión acerca de la dominación incaica y las estrategias de control puestas en juego de acuerdo a las condiciones locales en una región que presenta variaciones preexistentes. En el Pucara de Tilcara, el cual parece haber funcionado como un centro político, administrativo, productivo y religioso, hemos documentado la producción especializada de bienes lapidarios de lujo (e.g. alabastro). También resaltamos el interés de los Incas en los recursos de los valles orientales y yungas hacia el sur, con el importante centro administrativo Esquina de Huajra. Los procesos económicos y sociales diversos observados en la Quebrada de Humahuaca, iniciados durante el Período Intermedio Tardío y subsecuentemente amplificados por los Inca, formaron la base de una dinámica social y una identidad regional que perduró hasta momentos coloniales.
The Inca Empire operated a versatile set of policies that responded to distinct local conditions and,consequently, it was comprised of a mosaic of different landscapes. In the central and south-central sectors of Quebrada de Humahuaca, in the north of Argentina, the combined analysis of a number of elements allowed us to infer the nature and degree of imperial intervention, thus enriching the understanding of Inca domination and conquest strategies according to local conditions within a region that presented pre-existing variations. At Pucara de Tilcara, which appears to have functioned as a political, administrative, productive and religious center, we have documented the specialized productionof luxury lapidary goods (e.g. alabaster). We also highlight the Inca interest in the resources of the eastern valleys and yungas to the south, with an important administrative center in Esquina de Huajra. The distinct economic and social processes observed in Quebrada de Humahuaca,initiated during the Late Intermediate Period and subsequently amplified by the Inca, formed the basis of a regional social dynamic and identity that lasted into Colonial times.
