Abstract
Archaeological data obtained from Inca sites located in the upper Ricran valley (central sierra of Peru) is considered against other evidence from the Late Intermediate Period. This leads us to evaluate and characterize regional inca occupation through an analysis of the changes in settlement patterns, of the buildings of probable inca inspiration, and of State pottery in local villages. Agricultural terraces, remains of roads and what possibly constitutes a ceremonial site linked to the sacred mountain of Apohuayhuay nearby, suggests this area was integrated to the provincial centers of Hatun Xauxa and Tarmatambo, a production center of different goods for the Empire and as residence of a regional deity or huaca.
