Dissertation Research: Imperial Conquest and Consolidation and Forced Migration in the Saraguro Region, Ecuador

9409586 Schreiber在Katharina Schreiber博士的指导下，Dennis Ogburn先生将为他的博士论文收集数据。他将在厄瓜多尔高原的萨拉古罗地区进行考古田野工作。围绕印加皮尔卡和坦博布兰科这两个已知印加遗址的研究，奥格伯恩先生和他的同事们将对150-300平方公里的区域进行调查。史前遗址将被记录、拍照和绘制地图。建筑数据将被记录下来，所有陶瓷和文物都将被收集起来。如有需要，亦会进行有限度的挖掘工作。将对现有的博物馆藏品进行审查。奥格伯恩先生将试图确定印加人征服该地区时发生的变化。为了实现这一点，他将重建前印加和印加的定居点和生存系统，并对两者进行比较。通过对陶器的研究，他将深入了解人口的延续或变化的程度。这项研究的目标是在简单的技术层面上理解帝国是如何建立和维持的。历史和民族历史证据表明，在相对较短的时间内，来自秘鲁高原的印加人扩大了他们的控制区，包括安第斯山脉的大部分地区。他们似乎采用了许多方法来将被征服的领土并入他们的帝国并对其进行控制。其中之一包括人口的大规模流动。奥格本先生希望通过对其中一个领域的深入研究来深入了解这些战略。这项研究之所以重要，有几个原因。它将提供许多考古学家感兴趣的数据。它将阐明社会控制和组织的机制，并将有助于培养一位有前途的年轻科学家。***

9409586 Schreiber Under the direction of Dr. Katharina Schreiber, Mr. Dennis Ogburn will collect data for his doctoral dissertation. He will conduct archaeological fieldwork in the Saraguro region of highland Ecuador. Centering the study on the known Inca sites of Ingapirca and Tambo Blanco, Mr Ogburn and colleagues will conduct a survey of a 150 - 300 square km area. Prehistoric sites will be recorded, photographed and mapped. Architectural data will be noted and all ceramics and artifacts will be collected. If necessary, limited excavation will also be conducted. Available museum collections will be examined. Mr Ogburn will attempt to determine the changes which occurred when Incan peoples conquered the region. To accomplish this, he will reconstruct both pre-Inca and Incan settlement and subsistence systems and compare the two. Through study of ceramics he will gain insight into the extent of population continuity or change. The goal of this research is to understand how, at a simple technological level, empires are established and maintained. Historic and ethnohistoric evidence demonstrate that within a relatively short period of time Incan peoples from highland Peru expanded their area of control to include most of the Andes. It appears that they employed a number of methods to incorporate conquered territories into their empire and to control them. One of these included wholesale movement of peoples. Mr. Ogburn wishes to gain insight into such strategies through the intensive study of one such area. This research is important for several reasons. It will provide data of interest to many archaeologists. It will shed light on mechanisms of social control and organization, and will assist in the training of a promising young scientist. ***
