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

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。他将在厄瓜多尔高地的萨拉古罗地区进行考古实地考察。奥格本先生和他的同事们将对已知的印加遗址因加皮卡和坦博布兰科进行研究，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，所有的陶瓷和文物将被收集。如有需要，亦会进行有限挖掘。现有的博物馆藏品将被检查。奥格本先生将试图确定印加人征服该地区后发生的变化。为了做到这一点，他将重建前印加和印加的定居和生存系统，并对两者进行比较。通过对陶瓷的研究，他将深入了解人口延续或变化的程度。这项研究的目的是了解在简单的技术层面上，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，来自秘鲁高地的印加人扩大了他们的控制区域，包括安第斯山脉的大部分地区。他们似乎采用了许多方法将被征服的领土并入他们的帝国并加以控制。其中之一就是大规模的民族迁徙。奥格本先生希望通过对其中一个领域的深入研究，深入了解这些策略。这项研究之所以重要，有几个原因。它将为许多考古学家提供感兴趣的数据。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. ***
