Más allá de la guerra: fortificación y territorio durante el Periodo Intermedio Tardío (1100-1450 d. C.) en los señoríos de Tarma y Jauja
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents a brief summary of the characteristics related to conflict and fortifications in the pre-Inca period in the central Andes (1100-1450 AD), but also explores the issue of borders and territory through a case study. Thus, it will initially address the defensive patterns adopted by pre-Hispanic populations and forms of conflict that may have existed at that time, through a global approach based on ethno-historical and archaeological data. In addition, the widespread construction of fortified villages throughout the Andes suggests a strong desire to defend and mark their territory. It is this question of territoriality that, in a second phase, was explored in depth through computer analysis in the current regions of Tarma and Jauja. The use of GIS computer tools applied to a particularly well-documented archaeological case study will explore a model that can be applied to other regions of the Andes.
