Abstract
Before the arrival of the Spanish, Andean populations were in the process of redefining their own community and ethnic identities following incorporation into the Inka Empire. During the Inka period (1450–1532 CE), new domestic spaces were built in the highland region of Huarochiri. However, this change did not imply a substantial transformation of domestic life or consumption practices. Through archaeological excavations, architectural, ceramic, and zooarchaeological spatial analysis, we argue that everyday domestic life in Ampugasa was not strongly impacted by the Inka presence. Rather, architectural changes and domestic consumption patterns were built upon local practices already existing in Huarochiri.
