Warfare and Violence in the Late Pre-Hispanic Andes: New Perspectives from the Colca Valley, Peru
Warfare and Violence in the Late Pre-Hispanic Andes: New Perspectives from the Colca Valley, Peru
Recent archaeological and bioarchaeological research in the highland Andes has yielded new insights into the nature of warfare during the politically fractious period (A.D. 1100-1450) preceding Inka imperial expansion. Combining defensive settlement patterns and skeletal evidence of violent trauma from the Colca Valley of southern Peru, we discuss patterns of violence, fortification, and alliance-making in the region and the southern Andes more broadly.
