Abstract
Built on a high plain in the Peruvian Andes, the Inka center of Huanuco Pampa remained partially occupied during and after the period of Spanish colonial rule. This paper addresses how Inka urban planning influenced processes of ruination and local identity-building in the centuries leading up to the 1960s, when professional archaeologists began to work at the site. The same aesthetic signals intended to mark royal Inka spaces at Huanuco Pampa encouraged the long-term use of the site by local Andean highlanders, as well as more recent work to develop the site as an example of national and global heritage.
