Production and inca road logics in Northernmost Northwestern Argentina

The Inca road system has at least two longitudinal branches in northern Argentina entering the Puna (an altiplano-like landscape) in a north-south direction. Minor roads are found connecting the main roads with other environments and productive areas. The nature and chronology of the Inca conquest o...

description The Inca road system has at least two longitudinal branches in northern Argentina entering the Puna (an altiplano-like landscape) in a north-south direction. Minor roads are found connecting the main roads with other environments and productive areas. The nature and chronology of the Inca conquest of Northwest Argentina is discussed regarding the agricultural development of the region and three “state farms” located in different environments are recognized: Casabindo in the Puna, Rodero-Coctaca in Quebrada de Humahuaca, and Nazareno-Rodeo Colorado in the eastern valleys of Salta. Casabindo was related to the maintenance of the nearby Inca road that connected Calahoyo with El Moreno, Nazareno was thought to support the mining activities in the surrounding areas while Rodero-Coctaca was supposed to supply the mining settlements in the eastern valleys of Jujuy, following the road that connected them to Quebrada de Humahuaca. In this way, some agricultural areas served the logistics of the Inca road while in other cases the road served the logistics of the productive areas.
