Imperial Space Appropriation and Colonialism during the 16th Century in the Ecuadorian Andes

Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The Inka Empire began its process of conquest and colonialism in 1420 in ancient Ecuador. The inkas reproduced their own social spaces for the public, the sacred, and the economic over local spaces. However, such Inka layers of transformation were suddenly truncated by the Spanish arrival at around 1530, which again brought different kinds of populations that imprinted new contours onto the history of these spaces. This paper documents what occurred to Inka spaces after Spanish appropriation during the 16th century, using Colta Lake valley’s material culture and monumental features to support the study case within the Chimborazo region.
