Summary
A study of ceramic artifacts from the Pucará de Tilcara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Argentina's Quebrada de Humahuaca, reveals differential consumption patterns linked to social and economic roles during the late pre-Hispanic period. Analysis of Inca pottery, sourced from across the Tawantinsuyu empire, indicates that distinct categories of goods were used based on the function of different groups within the site. This suggests a complex interplay between political dynamics and material culture circulation in the region.
