Document Summary
What is the author really asking/assuming: describe the main datasets and methods in great detail providing examples. What are its broader contributions: does this article built on, compliment, or contradict other research (perhaps one of the other articles?) Cuzco: capital of tawantinsuyu: land of the four quarters. Antisuyu: main language quechua, last of states in andeans (we covered tiwanaku, conquered by pizarro around 1532, cuzco as exemplary center. 1400-1532 comes from central highland of peru in cuzco valley by 1400: cosmogram, social and political map, royal and imperial center. Represented spatially in the organization of the city. Home of kings (dead and alive) and lineages. Powerful symbol of inka empire and center of the whole world. Place of rituals and spectacles: opposite of economic center. Not center of craft production or exchange. Not a large permanent population compared to other capitals.
