Consideraciones arqueológicas y etnohistóricas sobre instalaciones camineras del Tawantinsuyu

Archaeological and ethnohistorical research on the Qhapaq Ñan, the Andean Road System of the Tawantinsuyu (Inca Empire), reveals significant insights into its distinctive infrastructure, including tampu (rest stops), qurpa wasi (storage buildings), chaski wasi (messenger stations), and chuklla (water reservoirs). These structures, typically located along the main road, played a crucial role in the empire's logistical network. The study reconstructs their specifications using theoretical frameworks rooted in Tawantinsuyu knowledge systems, integrating historical contributions to deepen archaeological understanding. By analyzing both conceptual and interpretative aspects, researchers highlight the enduring influence of historical data on modern interpretations of these sites.
