Summary
Survey and excavation data from the western Pichincha cloud forest of northwestern Ecuador have provided tantalizing evidence of an unusual relationship between Incas and the autochthonous Yumbo populations. The monumental pool site of Tulipe, the terraced hill complex of Palmitopamba, and the pucaras of Chacapata and Capillapamba all provide an extraordinary view of the tentative, late expansion of Tawantinsuyo into the sub-Andean jungle of northern Ecuador. After a dozen seasons of excavation and study in the Palmitopamba locality, we have evidence on Inca-Yumbo craft production, peaceful coexistence, absence of tribute, and a possible Inca refuge from the Spanish, among other information. These results are compiled in this study of Inca-local relations during the final years and at the northern extreme of the Inca Empire.
