Summary
The Inka Empire's conquest of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina, was not merely driven by economic or logistical motivations but was deeply rooted in ideological and spatial strategies. This study reveals that the Inka imposed their worldview through the production and restructuring of socially constructed space, demonstrating a sophisticated process of domination. By analyzing the relationship between ideology and space, the research sheds light on how the Tawantinsuyu (Inka Empire) reshaped conquered territories, particularly at the La Huerta archaeological site. The findings challenge conventional explanations by emphasizing the role of spatial organization as a key component in social processes during conquest.
