New Evidence of Inca Ceramic Production and Exchange in the Cuzco Heartland

Author(s): Richard Burger; Lucy Salazar; Michael D. Glascock

Year: 2018

Summary

INAA analyses of ethnographic and archaeological ceramics from the Cuzco heartland yield new insights into the patterns of production and distribution of Inca pottery in the Cuzco heartland. Multiple centers of production existed in this region and significant levels of exchange in imperial pottery occurred between the Sacred Valley and the Cusco Basin. Possible centers of production are suggested on the basis of the new results.
