Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant Proposal: Evaluating Inka Administrative Intensity at Santa Rita B, an Administrative Center in the Chao Valley, Peru

在R博士的指导下。艾伦科维，阿曼达奥兰将调查因卡公司和管理的朝谷北海岸的秘鲁，重点是网站的圣丽塔B。Chao山谷位于Chimú州的中心，后来被征服时，Inka将海岸并入帝国，据说大约在公元1470年。印加人采用了各种策略来控制他们庞大帝国的核心和省级地区，但目前对秘鲁北海岸的印加管理知之甚少。圣丽塔B是一个战略位置的山谷中的网站轴承职业跨越约2500年，包括奇穆和印加。该遗址可能是印加人的行政中心，对它的研究将解决这样一个问题：印加人是通过现有的奇穆机构来统治这个山谷，还是用他们自己的机构来取代它们。奥兰的研究将包括对圣丽塔B的建筑进行系统的挖掘和年代测定，以及在-深入的实验室分析，以研究印加人如何改变现有的政治和经济制度，以及这些政策如何影响当地人民。修订将针对行政、经济和国内背景。对圣丽塔B的行政背景进行调查，对于解决印加人如何在该地点治理前奇穆人至关重要。与治理的经济和政治方面有关，发掘这些洞穴应该可以提供有关这些建筑中骆驼科动物起源的信息，以及印加人是否以及如何利用放牧和商队活动来造福国家。国内背景将提供洞察谁占领了该地区，以及他们如何每天受到印加国家的影响。除了挖掘，AMS放射性碳年代测定将有助于建立遗址和结构使用的年表，使在遗址上代表的印加人占领被放置在空间和时间上。该项目的智力价值在于有助于理解印加人将秘鲁北部海岸纳入和控制为国家省级地区的可变战略。它还将解决古代帝国的更大问题，通过促进对古代帝国扩张，征服和管理其他领土的战略的理解，这一概念可以应用于人类学领域。该项目将产生更广泛的影响，为当地社区提供学习和参与在圣丽塔B进行的研究的机会。这项研究将是阿兰女士、来自美国的学生、秘鲁当地考古学家和工人之间的合作努力，所有人都将接受实地和实验室方法的培训。它有可能通过让当地社区成员参与项目并提供有关秘鲁北海岸历史的教育机会、更好的现场管理和全面的文化遗产管理，对当地社区成员产生重大影响。

Under the direction of Dr. R. Alan Covey, Amanda Aland will investigate the Inka incorporation and administration of the Chao Valley on the north coast of Peru, focusing on the site of Santa Rita B. The Chao Valley, located in the heart of the Chimú state, was later conquered when the Inkas incorporated the coast into the empire reportedly around A.D.1470. The Inkas employed a variety of strategies for controlling the core and provincial areas of their vast empire, but very little is currently understood about Inka administration of the north coast of Peru. Santa Rita B is a strategically located mid-valley site bearing occupations spanning approximately 2500 years, including both Chimú and Inka. Research at the site, a possible Inka administrative center, will address the research question of whether the Inkas governed the valley through existing Chimú institutions or replaced them with their own.Ms. Aland's research will include systematic excavation and dating of the structures at Santa Rita B, as well as in-depth laboratory analyses to examine how the Inkas changed existing political and economic institutions and how such policies affected local people. Excavations will target administrative, economic, and domestic contexts. Investigations into administrative contexts at Santa Rita B will be critical in addressing how the Inkas governed the preceding Chimú at the site. Associated with economic and political aspects of governance, the excavation of the corrals should provide information on the origins of the camelids housed in the structures, and if and how the Inkas made use of herding and caravanning practices to benefit the state. Domestic contexts will provide insight into who occupied the area and how they were affected by the Inka state on a daily basis. In addition to excavations, AMS radiocarbon dates will aid in the establishment of a chronology of site and structure use, allowing for the Inka occupation represented at the site to be placed in space and time.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the contribution to the understanding of the variable Inka strategies for incorporation and control of the Peruvian north coast as a provincial area of the state. It will also address the larger issue of ancient empires, by contributing to the understanding of ancient imperial strategies of expansion, conquest, and administration of other territories a concept that can be applied to the field of anthropology. This project will have a broader impact by providing opportunities to the local community to learn from and participate in the research being conducted at Santa Rita B. The research will be a collaborative effort between Ms. Aland, students from the U.S, local Peruvian archaeologists, and workers, all of whom will receive training in both field and laboratory methods. It has the potential to greatly impact the members of the local community by involving them in the project and providing opportunities for education about the history of the north coast of Peru, better site management, and overall cultural heritage management.
