10 Shifting Territorialities under the Inka Empire: The Case of the Rapayán Valley in the Central Andean Highlands
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT I examine the changing patterns of territoriality generated by the Inkas upon their conquest of a middle‐range society of the Rapayán Valley in the Upper Marañón drainage of the northern central Andes of Peru. The territorial‐hegemonic model as well as Robert Sack's conception of territoriality—considered a strategy of social control through space—are used to discuss architectural and settlement pattern changes characterizing the transition between the Late Intermediate Period (C.E. 1000–1450) and the Late Horizon (Inka; C.E. 1450–1532). I argue that before the Inka conquest, territoriality was achieved through ceremonies honoring the Rapayán Valley's founding ancestors held at the location of highly visible above‐ground mortuary monuments distributed across the Rapayán landscape. Upon their conquest of the Rapayán Valley, the Inkas attempted to redefine local territorial practices and categories through various means and used simultaneously direct and indirect strategies of governance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
