Under the supervision of Dr. Katharina Schreiber, Sarah Abraham will examine the imperial-provincial relationship between the Inca empire (AD 1438-1532) and the people of Hatun Lucanas in the southern highlands of Peru. The archaeological site of Hatun Lucanas was the capital of the Lucanas culture and was conquered by the Inca early in the empire's history. Field methods will include a combination of detailed mapping, architectural analysis, and excavation to examine how this provincial population responded to imperial rule. By tracking change and continuity at the household level before and after Inca conquest, the proposed project seeks to better understand the transition from autonomous polity to subjugated population from the local perspective. Shifts in anthropological theory have led archaeologists to re-evaluate long-held assumptions and interpretations of ancient empires and the nature of imperial-provincial relationships. Influenced by recent developments in social theory and postcolonial studies, new research has shifted the focus from top-down approaches that concentrate on the ruling elite to exploring the lives of the people without history, the provincial populations who comprised the majority of the empire (Wolf 1982). As a result, many recent studies focus on the political, economic, and social implications of imperial rules within the provincial community and at the household level. Investigations at Hatun Lucanas will contribute to Inca archaeology, studies of Andean prehistory, and general archaeological theory. Beyond the Andes, results from this research will serve as a cross-cultural example of provincial society and local responses to imperialism. This contributes to an emerging body of research on ancient empires that emphasizes the local perspective and redirects attention to incorporated peoples, forming a more comprehensive understanding of ancient empires. This new perspective has important implications for anthropological, historical, and sociological studies of culture contact, world systems, and colonialism.The proposed research will culminate in the completion of the investigator's dissertation and will be disseminated to both the academic community and the public through various channels. The regional and national offices of the Peruvian National Institute of Culture (INC), Peruvian colleagues, and the town of Lucanas will receive a Spanish-language version of the final report of the proposed excavations and a copy of the resulting dissertation. Various aspects of this research will be published as conference presentations and in peer-reviewed articles in Peruvian and North American academic journals. In addition to these research and professional obligations, this project will also serve educational and training goals. North American and Peruvian archaeology students will participate in the project, gaining valuable field methods training and research experience. Furthermore, the investigator will hold public and school presentations, sharing the results of the proposed project with both North American and Peruvian communities.

在Katharina Schreiber博士的指导下，Sarah Abraham将研究印加帝国（公元1438-1532年）与秘鲁南部高地的Hatun Lucanas人民之间的帝国-省关系。 Hatun Lucanas考古遗址是Lucanas文化的首都，在帝国历史早期被印加征服。 实地考察的方法将包括详细的地图绘制、建筑分析和挖掘，以考察这个省的人口对帝国统治的反应。 通过跟踪印加征服前后家庭一级的变化和连续性，拟议的项目力求从地方角度更好地理解从自治政体到被征服人口的过渡。人类学理论的转变导致考古学家重新评估长期以来对古代帝国的假设和解释以及帝国与各省关系的性质。 受社会理论和后殖民研究的最新发展的影响，新的研究已经将重点从集中于统治精英的自上而下的方法转移到探索没有历史的人的生活，即构成帝国大部分的省级人口（Wolf 1982）。 因此，最近的许多研究集中在省级社区和家庭层面的帝国规则的政治，经济和社会影响。 哈通卢卡纳斯的调查将有助于印加考古学、安第斯史前史研究和一般考古学理论。 在安第斯山脉之外，这项研究的结果将作为省级社会和当地对帝国主义反应的跨文化范例。 这有助于一个新兴的机构的研究古代帝国，强调地方的角度来看，并重新关注合并的人民，形成一个更全面的了解古代帝国。 这一新的视角对人类学、历史学和社会学的文化接触、世界体系和殖民主义研究具有重要意义。该研究将在研究者完成论文后达到高潮，并将通过各种渠道向学术界和公众传播。 秘鲁国家文化研究所（INC）的地区和国家办事处、秘鲁同事和卢卡纳斯镇将收到拟议挖掘的最终报告的西班牙语版本和由此产生的论文副本。 这项研究的各个方面将作为会议报告和秘鲁和北美学术期刊上的同行评议文章发表。 除了这些研究和专业义务，该项目还将服务于教育和培训目标。 北美和秘鲁的考古学学生将参加该项目，获得宝贵的实地方法培训和研究经验。 此外，研究人员将举行公共和学校演讲，与北美和秘鲁社区分享拟议项目的成果。
